  • What I saw so funny?

    So what did I see?

    A Festiva (dark green) pulling back onto the interstate. A state trooper walking back to his car with ticket book in hand.

    What was so funny was. The speed limit was 70 mph. A car has to be doing at least 80 mph to get pulled over.

    Can a festiva do 80 mph?

    Just thought it was funny, a festiva getting a speeding ticket.

          I saw a nice looking Festiva parked on the side of the Interstate awhile back with a sticker on the window from a State Trooper, then it disapered after a couple days, wonder if it got towed.

            I was coming back from Louisville the other day and had one pass me while I was doing 75. I continued to CHASE him for atleast 32 miles so I could get a look at other than the rear hatch.

                      The 'nice' Virginia State trooper who pulled me over on I-64 when I was on my way to FM3 informed me that my 89L will do 85 mph. :roll:

                              My B6 91GL buries the 110mph speedo I got from a Kia Pride. My stock 93 GL will bury the stock 85mph speedo on a regular basis.
