Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.

Arrows, getting flamed on the internet and $200 is a small price to pay for a potentially very serious mistake.

There is a lot of responsibility that comes with owning a high-performance machine, and in our society in general we don't pride ourselves on teaching good driving skills or judgment. The steady progression of kids totaling cars is proof of that.

Take the advice, change your approach, let your judgment be equal to the car's capability. There are some pretty fun ways to find the limits of your machine without getting yourself and others killed.

Stick around, you won't be sorry.

EDIT: oh, in answer to your question - I have gotten 3 tickets in my life, the last one was five years ago for doing 45 in a 35 in front of the Forestry office in Carson on 395. Meh.

Isn't the highest ticket in the US that dude in a Veyron in TX or something? No Subie will ever equal that.....
