But the cop still flagged a few of you down when you got to town is all. They could have been real dicks if they wanted.

Sounds like those front runners were being overly careless though.

Damn bro, if you're going to get a ticket at least make it story worthy so you can come back and tell us. Next time try to get away.

Yeah I definitely could tell that most of them were newbies with the exception of the older officer. And it took him forever to write up the ticket that I can barely even read

Speeds exceeding 90..even 100 at one point in a 50 zone. Yes I'd say careless would fit the description quite well

Yeah the one guy that caught up with us afterward in the supercharged (or was it turbo'd? I forget) 370Z with the CF hood & the body kit said he was up to 120 at one point.

You mean with a buffer or something to make them really shiny/chrome-like? Either way, nope.

One weekend I do plan on polishing them in the sense of taking an old clay bar to them, then sealing them with the same stuff I use on the rest of the car. They're factory wheels, painted just like the rest of the car, so I figure why not? Supposedly helps make it easier to clean off brake dust and stuff when washing the car.

I believe his was the TT'd and the blue 370Z was the one that was supercharged but not too sure.

Well after getting the ticket that ended my fun for the day so I decided to just head home from Quincy. Ended up taking 49 through Sierra City and Downieville to get back. My friend and the Corvette that came to the run followed me down.

As I recall there were similar issues last year with the group affectionately named "The Outlaws". I don't know if any tickets were issued but I do know that names and registration were checked for a few drivers. Hence Curtis' driver's group discussion.

Other than the ticket, which no doubt "sucks" .. it's good that there were no accidents ...

Ha I don't know why but I didn't realize you were one of the ones that got a ticket.

The whole shibag is $200. Fill, smooth, and repaint. Dropped it off this morning and it will be ready at noon tomorrow. It is a secret place in Rocklin.


So secret that I think if you walked up and yelled INS, the place would empty in a second.

Seriously? $200? Is it going to peel off in a month? Is it just the bumper or more?
