1. Obviously a very effective message - you took the time to type it up, and probably tell several people, all resulting from his audience of one.
2. fingerless gloves? Are you a break dancer?

seriously, WTF? plz say this part is a joke.
my guess is that you didn't get "lucky" - the cop had already run your plates and already decided the paperwork was not worth it when he saw he'd have to arrest you & impound the 8.
OT - WTF is the deal w/all the chargers? Every damn state must have got a few in the last year.

Apparently from the research conducted on said fingerless glove man...his homeland security folder states...
"It's due to not wanting to burn his hands on the steering wheel or make it all sweaty...and stuff"...
If you would like to know the times he visits the bathroom please make another offical query...

Chargers are the cool new thing for police to spend their speeding ticket taxes on, and then get the local newspaper to write a nice cheery "article" showing their new highway speed enforcement program which is "saving lives." Pardon my sarcasm.

When most of Houston is wearing winter coats and making use of their seat warmers, I'm in a t-shirt & shorts with the windows down wishing it was just a little bit cooler.
Put me in an RX8 with a leather steering wheel on a fun road and you'll quickly understand why I wear gloves. I sweat like a fat guy jumping rope in the attic on a 100 degree day. The steering wheel gets a salty crust around my hands. Sweat beads down my arms and drips off my elbows onto my lap. When I shift hard a misty spray comes off my hands like when a sweaty boxer takes a hard punch to the head. Actual pools of sweat form in the creases of the seats...
...It's pretty damn nasty.
I try to drive without them as much as possible, as I do look like quite the tard, but there are just some days when I care more about enjoying the open road than I care about how I look to other drivers.

lmao - "originally posted by everyone"
man, that might just be the worst combination of wrong car (crappy AC) & wrong state eva!
while I can't argue that the drive is way more important than looking "like quite the tard", wouldn't it be easier to just omit the mention of fingerless gloves?

Prlly right, but only for a speeding ticket. Reckless driving, exhibition of speed, and a few others are much more subjective and still coulda been handed out.

Meh - I bring it up for 2 reasons:
1) It adds quite a bit to the how-the-hell-did-I-not-go-to-jail factor of the story. People get lucky every day with speeding tickets. Long-haired, glove-wearing, kids, blasting grating music, in hot-**** sports cars almost never catch a break.
2) One of these days I'm going to be able to attend one of the get-together events, and when I do, people are going to notice the gloves. I mention the gloves (mostly in the Gulf forums), so that I don't have to answer the "omg y do u have gloves on??" question 60-something times when I meet everyone face-to-face.

I pulled over a red mt 8 a few weeks ago. He said he was going to join the boards. We talked outside of his car for about 30 minutes. I pulled him for going around a really tight corner pretty fast. I wasnt going to pull him but I figured he is probably on the boards so I might know him.

LOL on my drive to work today I saw a Charger Cop parked along that road. I waved as I passed, and the cop just sternly glared back and pointed at me in that "You watch yourself" kind of way.
...have to wonder if it was the same guy...
