Let's get down to the real fun stuff, though. How many of you have had the brass balls to try a little Dukes of Hazzard action, and give Ol' Sherrif Roscoe a run for his money? I've always wanted to hear some stories about being chased by the man while driving a 427 Cobra....
More realistically, it seems like it should be fairly easy to get out of a ticket when driving a Cobra. I'm the only male in my family who
isn't a policeman, so I end up hanging out with coppers quite a bit. Most of the officers I run into are car guys, and enjoy BS'ing about hot rods and classic cars.
For example, in the past 5 years, I have been pulled over 9 times in my '66 Mustang, and 3 times in my daily driver F-150. Each time in the Mustang, the officer complimented me on my car, and told me some story about his experiences with an old Stang or muscle car. I let him embellish a bit, and sure enough, each time I have driven off with a warning.
Each time in the F-150 resulted in a ticket.

P.S. By way of comparison, my wife has been pulled over 3 times in the past year while driving her modified '96 Mustang GT, and each time driven away with a warning. The cops around KC just must love Mustangs. Or maybe it was her big boobs...
