I've had 2 tickets and a warning in my tC.

All but the xD is on that list, wonder if Scion thinks this is bad or good?

It's less noticeable hence the speeding!

how is it less noticeable lol. the car or your driving?

because the car sticks out like a sore thumb on the road. the speeding is VERY noticeable in the box as your engine is screaming at you and provides very harsh resistance when you let off the gas at high speeds.

i wish they would specify the tickets. because of the vast amount of aftermarket addons, we are bound to get a ticket for those

lol i would expect muscle cars and cars like the 350z...

most tickets arent for speeding...mostly for mods...
my friend got a ticket on his xB for smoked tail lights.

i am surprised that no Nissan is on the most ticketed list. I've seen a lot of crazy 350z, Altima and Maxima in MA area.

This is a great example of how a camcorder might protect a person from such pigs.

Reading these posts makes me seriously consider keeping a camcorder in the car.
