Thanx for the read and registered condemnation datacat, but you got to show it not just front it. I am over 50 and had a few experiences and can tell you that they don't all make you wiser. I just sold my 04 Subaru Sti because it drew more attention then I needed, so this is why I now have a nice "ladies" car. Hope I can enjoy it as much. I did notice that not much is available for these however, 2008 Merlot Jewel G6 GXP Coupe. I know they called it Performance Red too but I guess that was to make it harder to match your shoes and hand bag with. It is a real comfortable poser though. Maybe I will start cutting into it and give it the street cred that GM left out. When I need to remember what really makes it happen I still have my 41 Chevy P/U Resto Rod to piss off the Man. I don't mean to crap on Pontiac as I've had a few real ones, and this G6 is a pretty car my wife tells me.
Worst Ticket you've gotten?

You sold your STI for a G6?!?!?
Oh man, that's the one thing I don't think I could ever do...But you DID get a GXP, so I guess you made the right choice...

Mine was 4 tickets within a ticket.... Leaving the track at 2am..I had a 2008 Tundra messing with me..so I made him hate life...and that he bought a Toyota Truck
1. Speeding 93 in a 55 $415
2. Following to closely $120
3. Illegal exhaust $$ The ticket itself would've been $210 and then had to prove I put the original exhaust back on the car. so I went ahead and took the turbo setup off and paid to have the original piping and OEM muffler installed. Then had it inspected by the issuing officer who then told the judge he was satisfied. Which total costs were $300
4. Passing in a "No pass Zone" $ 180
So about $1100 for doing 1 stupid thing...but it was worth the look on that young soldiers face..."vvVVRRMMmmm, PPSSshh....WTF"
Never again........

Worst ticket I didn't get!
3AM in my black 2 door Dodge Dakota with 3 people in the car, and a stolen street sign that read David St. in the back seat. I was on my way home and turned left at a light that had JUST turned yellow, and there was a state trooper sitting at the corner. I see him turn around to come get me, so like a dumbass I speed up to make the turn into my subdivision and hopefully get home before he catches up with me (theres no place like home, theres no place like home.) So I end up turning one block too early and it's a dead-end. Long story short -
55 in a 35, running from the police, stolen street sign, out past curfew (I was 16), 3 people in the front seat of a Dakota (seat belt violation), and the nice state trooper decided to put us all in handcuffs. And then let us go with just a warning.

Starlight Express was MUCH worse than Phantom.Worst ticket?
Phantom of the Opera- 30th row, behind a pillar that hid half the stage.
"I've been U-N-C-O-U-P-L-E-DEEEEEEEEEED..."
I think ANY ticket to Starlight Express is worse than the worst to Phantom.
On topic, not the worst ticket I had but the most interesting experience was when the lights went on hour houses from where I lived. At that time I was parking on the front lawn, and rather than pull over on the street I parked where I normally did, and got out of the car as did my passenger. Long story short, this and the dialog I had with the police officer led to him making several mistakes when writing the ticket. It went to court, and I used these mistakes against him to get out of the ticket. I swear I saw steam coming out of his ears when the judge ruled in my favor, and for 3 years after I had to look over my shoulder while driving in my city. He was still on the force 10 years after but I know he forgot me by then...
