I was doing 87 in a 55 near New Haven in my old '82 a couple years back. 
Apparently anything over 85 is considered reckless driving in CT, so he 
could've taken my licence then and there, and given me a $500 ticket. I 
ended up making a court appearance, and they reduced the 'reckless driving' 
to a 'speeding', but it was still $350 with court fees.

Odd, because I'm making a court appearance Tuesday morning cause I got 
stopped in a car belonging to my grandmother with no proof of insurance and 
an expired emissions sticker.

And I'm flat broke.

And I have no time to even figure out what's wrong with my '81 as it sits 
patient (and dirty) in my back yard.

Hehe..
