Nice...next time wave and take a picture...they REALLY hate that...nothing spells "beat down and liberal abuse of your civil rights" like taking a picture of a cop for some odd reason...

Hard to tell - This entire county just got a fresh load of Laser-equiped, black, Chargers. They're a not-so-rich county that likes it slow that have more-rich counties that like it fast all around them. They'll pull you over for going .00001 over the speed limit, give you a ticket, and be there on the court date.
I got my first ticket ever in that county when I was 16

the LA sheriff department hasn't upgraded their crown vics for like 10000000000 billion years or something, this ferrari flew by at LEAST 180+ and the cop turned on his light tried to run after it(this is on a street not highway) and the cop was like to my left, the car passed to my right, he tried running after it, then he turned off his sirens and continued to drive off into a neighborhood..............sad

I've explained this before...
If you'll look to the left you will see that I'm located in Houston, which is one of the most miserably humid cities I've ever lived in. I was born in Pennsylvania, and lived in Ohio for many years. I am a cold-and-dry climate creature. If the humidity ever goes above 50%, I start to sweat like I'm wearing a garbage bag. If the temperature is above 50 degrees, I drive with the windows down. 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.

I know what you mean about sweating, not only because I'm from the Northwest and have lived in VA, FL, IL, and CA the past 3 years, but because I know how sweat will damage natural goods. Back home I purchased a new katana with a stingray skin handle from the Hanwei foundry. I held it for an hour or so, during which my sweat turned the white stringray into a nasty brown color... Lesson is, keep your greasy hands off the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter. And to do that, you need to get with the program, now! Introducing the fingerless rotary collection Summer 2007:

See me sweat
Who wants a taste of the old rotary power while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it!

My friend Got lucky as hell one time too. I was riding Shotgun in my 8, and he redlines through 1st and 2nd, going into 3rd we shoots past the cop doing 75 in a 35. We get pulled over of course. So we're sitting there waiting for the cop to write up the ticket for nearly 20 minutes. The cop comes back, frustrated as hell, he tells my friend "you should buy a lottery ticket, it's your lucky day, i'm out of tickets." I kept looking back in the mirror, the cop was tearing through his cruiser looking for his booklet.
