That usually was around 20+ over the posted speed give or take the leeway 3-5mph most people get. Risky moves right in front of me when it should be obvious I was there just made me think the driver was stupid or distracted which was a double whammy reason to stop them. I can honestly say I never pulled anyone over just because of the vehicle they were driving but we all can point to times when someone driving a very expensive car doing ridiculous things full deserved everything we could throw at them if their attitude matched their actions.

Had my V8s for 7 months and so far just have had appreciating stares, the occasional wave and head turns. Fingers crossed that continues.

Hey, slow the hell down. Again, I'm only doing about 20 mph but the exhaust screams like a NASCAR vehicle . I stopped my car to see just how much of a tough guy he is, he wouldn't look at me and instead his spouse took over the argument and tried to scold me about the sound of my BMW. It's something I'll never forget. My point, the RType will attract negative attention from police and residents but I say, who cares !!!!
