I got pulled over 3 times the first two weeks I owned my mustang. Once for speeding (going home from Disney didnt have my Passport Detector yet), once because the cop saw me pull out of a bar and said i didnt have my lights on right away (I turned the fogs on at the stop sign) and thought i was drunk made me get out of the car. I wasnt I had two beers with a 16 once steak over at least a hours time, and once at UCF because i had no tag (mine was swipped and i didnt feel like driving 2 hours to the dealer to pick up a new temp tag). Whats funny is all those times I didnt even have my license, I lost it in Baghdad so I just pulled out my passport they see the 3 stamps from Baghdad International Airport, ask me a few questions and let me go.

You should've broken out some old rags and been like "I'm checking my fluids. Gotta wait for the radiator to cool off, does it faster with the hood up."
Or something.... stupid cops with nothing better to do....

Wow thats luck right there...
I got followed for good amount of time recently, pulled me over and he just let me go. I get tailed on the way home from work by UCs sometimes. My current excuse when i get pulled over: "Sir, do you know why I stopped you?" "Yes, because I drive a mustang....I'm used to it..."

wish I was that lucky. I got pulled over for the first time the on the weekend. Driving for 3 hours doing the speed limit then got stuck behind a transport and a tractor doing 40km/h for 8km. Finally had a chance to pass so I took it. I saw the cop and new that I was going too fast. Sure enough he pulled me over. Didn't realize I was going 145 in an 80...oops. Fortunately he reduced the ticket. Still lost 3 points on my licence (first time in 18yrs I have lost points 
) but it was better than getting a $1100.00 fine and having to go to court.

Geez, for a minute there I thought there was a "real" casino at Hampton Beach...I guess you were talking about the Casino Ballroom...(gambling is still illegal in NH, right?)...
You may not have gotten the type of attention you wanted for your Stang...but be thankful you that it turned out alright in the end...

So today I'm at Hampton Beach (NH) and it's a madhouse. I'm on the strip for an hour stuck in traffic. You know how when you're stuck in traffic and your foot gets sore from pushing in the clutch? Well my foot just about got numb. So I get just about right in front of the Casino right on the strip and I pull away from a stop and I fumbled with the clutch and the tired barked a tiny bit as I rolled away. It was just a tiny squeal, nothing major. No joke 2 seconds later there's a patrol car right behind me that came out of NO WHERE, must have pulled out of the side street. Now I've been going to this beach for the last 10 years every Friday night and I've never seen anybody get pulled over by a cruiser. Sure enough the blues come on and I pull over. The dialogue went something like this.
cop: license and registration
me: here you go
cop: you just learning to drive your car?
me: no why
cop: then why did you PEEL OUT back there?
me: I didn't mean to my foot slipped off the clutch
cop grunts and goes back to his car
(the lady friend proceeds to start laughing at me)
Then I start really getting ****ed off at this point. These cops at this beach are real
, they are rude to everybody and don't give any breaks. I know for sure that I'm going to get a ticket. I wasn't so ****ed about the ticket, I was only ****ed that if I was going to get a ticket for peeling out I would have done a line lock show in front of everybody on the main part of the strip. At this point there are about 300 people watching me. A little fat kid is pointing and laughing at me with one hand and holding an ice cream cone in another about 10 feet from my car. The embarassment was punishment enough, forget the ticket I dont care about that.
cop comes back with just my registration and license in his hand (pheww)
cop: I'm just going to give you a warning. Everybody says that they didn't mean to do it and I'm not going to make any conclusions. Just learn to drive with your clutch or Hampton Beach isn't for you.
Rediculous
Fifth time I've gotten pulled over in this car, and all warnings. YOU CAN'T TICKET ME!!!!

. So far theyve been fair enough to let me go with a warning.
