    oh yeah - that was the first order of business after "don't park in the bus zone - the transit union gets on our case" (a good lesson on who really decides RCMP policy). but just for 15 over or something, maybe $50. That was back in '84 I think. I remember now - I had the All Seasons on the front, thinking that stopping and steering was more important than accelerating - route was mapped out to avoid uphill or flat snow covered sections. until the best laid plans of ....

    Now that I think about it, most of my "quota interactions" have been quite entertaining. but it's been a while, I'm probably due...

    Last was '04 when in the Arrest Me Red conv. Mustang Cobra: VPD cruiser behind me: I knew I was "almost too loud", "almost too fast", "almost too much wheel spin", and "almost expired plates". But was wrong on the last one, dang! but the officer was a mind-reader, I must of just "forgotten" to apply the new sticker that morning :) ($75 instead of the $500 if I'd forgotten to renew all together...).

    That's not bad. When I had my learners licence I was pulled over with expired plates, totaly forgotten to renewit, luckily the officer was kind enough to just give me a warning, but I had to have the car towed back home, so that was basically the $75 fine.

    Pulled beside a red Gallardo today on #2 rd this afternoon. Looks like a daily driver, car was filthy with salt stains. You know Italian cars, they rust from inside out.

    No, kudos to the owner for driving such a car in this weather!

    Lamborghini host schools for winter driving and they use Gallardo's. They run a course on an ice field and teach proper driving technique for inclement weather driving. They also do it with the traction control off... Weeeeeeeee!
