Is this some sort of surprise? You're in Ohio, where they don't even need to actually measure your speed to give you a legally valid ticket.

Driving home from Nelson Ledges last year I didn't drop below 85mph the whole time and I only saw one cop. Either I was extremely lucky or I my Buick is stealth armor.

Buick= radar absorptive paint.

Red mustang= you're getting a ticket on principle.

Re: Gingerman traveling OH RT 80

Yeah, Buicks and their relatives have historically been stealth fighters on the Interstate. I have fond memories of the stealth capabilities of a charcoal-gray Olds Delta 88 (complete w/vinyl top) that my brother acquired from our great-aunt. He dubbed it the "undercover O." So invisible that I'd lose sight of him in traffic when we tried to caravan together.

Good luck to all Lemoneers trying to get across Ohio unscathed this week.

It was just saving up all those karma points to blow on epic transmission failure.
