    Wink I got a speeding ticket in my mirage today....

    "Slowest" car I've ever owned in my 20 years of driving, and I got my first speeding ticket in it. Isn't that ironic?

    It's a good thing I slowed down as soon as I saw the radar gun.

    Ahhh...I love my Mirage even more now. My partner in Crime.

    How fast were you going? I can't quite make it out. Does that say you were doing an 84 in a 65?

    Yes. Which is not to crazy considering the majority of cars at the time were traveling at 75/80.

    In Virginia, 20 mph over the posted limit is considered reckless driving. You would have been very lucky that he wrote you for 19 over.

    It starts to get a little spooky at that point for sure, triple digits require concentration and intestinal fortitude!

    I will. I'm usually doing 65 in the far right lane getting 50mpg. Today was a rare exception.
