How on earth do you own a car like that and keep your license?

I came very close to buying a Porche 911 Turbo back in the late 80's, but I figured I'd drive it for 2-months, have my license yanked, and maybe even end up in jail.

I was once pulled over on the freeway for going 15 in a Ford Econoline van.

Well, the speedo arrow was pointed at 15MPH on the dial, but only because it had circled the gauge, moving past 85, then past zero and up to 15.

I figure it was going about 110 much of the time, but he had my only doing 97 when he got me. The cop was ticked. He said he chased me for 13-1/2 miles.

In those days the highway limit was double nickels.

The only reason I got a ticket that day was because it was foggy and someone had left the windshield washer solvent out while there was salt spraying all over the windshield while I was driving. I had to get to an airport a couple hundred miles away, and I was cutting it very close.

I've always used my eyes to spot cops on the road, and I've only had a couple tickets on the freeway as a result (the other was when I was up 40 hours straight and had to drive a couple hundred miles).
