Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.

Well. it happened today folks, may 26, 2005.  I recieved my first speeding ticket in the corvette.  Mind you, I WAS speeding on a piece of road that I thought was used very little, just thought I would open her up alittle and feel the thrill, well the thrill was there and then so were some pretty blue and red lights also, they turned out to be not so thrilling.  I now have in my wallet a speeding ticket to help fight crime in the great state of washington of $224.00 that sucks, really sucks, know why that really sucks, because I just send off $91.00 to the state for a speeding ticket I got last Friday in the mustang.  Man oh man is the misses going to strain her milk on this one.....  I think I am going to go to court and plead my case of vette convertible 85 plus day stupid and see what happens.  Also have friend who teaches radar training to see if he has any ideas. 

Just had to tell some one that was not going to be pissed about it......

Vette(s): 1972 coupe/350 cid/mild cam/4 spd/20 ft. paint (looks perfect from 20 ft.), but it sure runs nice.

If it wasn't for the points and possible insurance hit, I'd say it would probably be worth it. Sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear about the speeding tickets.  Guess I better watch myself this weekend.  Remember, the color red brings them out.  Too bad they don't give a volume discount!  At least that way they could knock of 25%.

Ouch!!!! I don't know how it is up yonder, but down here, a lawyer is well worth the $$$$ spent for stuff like that. They keep it off the books, which means no prob. with the Insurance fellers, or with the D.P.S./D.M.V. The money it cost here for the lawyer and a fine is about the same as the ticket would be, just no record of it.

Vette(s): 1972 elkhart green T-Top, New paint, one previous owner, 370hp/350, hookers/flowMasters. Original PW,PS,PB,AC. All docs.
Maybe you can plead to the Judge to send you to traffic school and have it
wiped off your record (but two so close, I don't know)... worth asking.
Here you can do everything from comedy traffic school to on-line
school....
Sorry to hear, guess the Red Vette syndrome is true, they look like they
are going 100 MPH standing still....

Vette(s): 1974, 454 with 4 on the floor, matching numbers.

That takes all the fun away,  2 back to back isn't good in any state. Either try to plead to a lesser charge (may cost you more in fines) or seek a defensive driving coarse, for point reduction. The National Safety Council may have a chapter in your state, cost about $50.

Good luck
