I DIDN'T get nicked...
... driving past a cop car at 135 mph in my red '07 AM Vantage.
Southern California has a lot of wide-open roads. I'd had the car 3 months and needed to go about 400 miles one hot day so I opened it up on a long straight stretch of the Soutbound 57, in a big straight "dip" that stretched maybe 2 miles from the tip of one hill to another. I was going so fast I didn't even SEE the black and white till I passed it.
I crap my pants and lift off the gas... and he pulls over to help a motorist with his hood up and engine steaming.
65 mph the rest of the way.
If you want to spot a lot of nice parked exotics, go about 10 miles South of Las Vegas and sit by the highway. Lambos, Astons, Ferraris... they've either just won or just lost a lot of money and they can't help opening it up on that salt-flat-like stretch of the I-15. I once saw 2 Ferraris pulled over within a half mile of each other.
But me: 36 years driving and never a ticket. Knock leather.
