i got pulled over for no front plate and ended up getting a ticket for driving on a suspended liscence and no front plate. but i paid the last ticket (got it in my truck) and had the receipt at home and the idiots at the DMV obviously didnt do their job and take it off the computers. the cop was cool and said as long as i show up to court with the receipt and a front plate on he will throw them both out. he did say some thing about my tinted taillights though. he was like do you have covers on your taillights?
no they came like that
so he goes and touches them and says are you having problems with your alternator?
i said maybe i will have to check
he obviously didnt see my voltmeter with was showing 14.5V oh well
time to call the idiots at the DMV, but i think i am doing pretty good since i have driven about 35K miles between the 2 c's and this is my first ticket
(not the first time i have been pulled over though)

Re: got my first ticket yesterday in the corrado (brilliantyellowg60)
ticket for driving on a suspended license....i dont know man, i live in NEw York State aswell, NYC to be exact, and i got arrested for driving on a suspended license.
Re: got my first ticket yesterday in the corrado (brilliantyellowg60)
Johnson rd or church rd. Those are fun roads with too many cops and too slow of a speed limit. But it does sound like you got lucky. I grew lively a mile away from the sheriffs' substation outside V-ville. what a hassle passing cops on every trip. But it was fun once
Re: got my first ticket yesterday in the corrado (brilliantyellowg60)
I got followed all around one of the more affluent suburbs of milwaukee the other afternoon...i was leaving a friends house, and passed the police station at the next corner, there was a squad with his right blinker on. He watched me roll by and turned left. Not good. (i also have no front plate at the moment, but it is in the trunk with the tools to install it on the spot).
Anyways, i pull into a gas station,, and he continues on. When i leave, there he is waiting a block away and he pulls in behind me. We tarvel through the village, onto a major road, and he is glued to me right upo to the town line (also the county line) where i stop at a red light and he pulls alongside and rolls his window down... so do I...
And he says "Nice Corrado, is that a G60 or a VR6 ?". I smiled and said "Wanna race ?" which got a nod and a laugh. He said he kept seeing me in the villiage all the time, but never got a close look at the car, gave me a thumbs up and we went about our buisiness.
A lot better than the last time i got pulled over when they towed my car away !
Re: got my first ticket yesterday in the corrado (YetiMan)
I had a NY trooper follow me into work once a while back... He got behind me as I pulled out of my road and when I turned into work, he followed me. I assumed he was going to say something about the tinted tails, but he goes How's it going... SO I gave the usual "good".... and he goes... Nice car... G60? I was like yep...He's like "yours is the nicest one around". I said thanks.. and he went on to ask me if I had any mods... then he started asking about my stereo.... which made me a little cautios... I had $1500 Of stereo equipment stolen out of my jetta right in my driveway... so I tld him I had a cheap piece of crap (which I do).. then I told him I had to go to work...
Also the only ticket I got was from a trooper, I was doing 72 on the taconic in my jetta and the cop gave me a damn ticket. I was on my way to my friends house to pick up the title to the corrado (Now you know why I was speeding) So this jerk gives me a tciket.. I go into court.. and he asks hows the jetta... and I told him I sold it to my brother. He says what are you driving now.. I told him a corrado. He said.. the red G60 outside? I said yeah. He goes I had 2 of them at one point, then I got married.... right after that he tells me he's not going to drop the ticket but he did reduce it... sheesh... you figure a fellow former C owner would have givin me a break.... guess not. http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif
Re: got my first ticket yesterday in the corrado (Milkysunshine)
I got followed/pulled over by NYPD, he walks up my door & asked if I was selling her. I said "hell no" w/a smile, got out, popped the hood..Once I saw him do this
Re: got my first ticket yesterday in the corrado (Ricky)
My one and only ticket I got was when I was back in Buffalo. Me and my friends were headed to Canada. I was doig 85mph in a 60 mph zone (dunno the km/h)..the total on the ticket was a little under $300 canadien.
This was in the St-Catherines region..was heading towards Scarborough. I didn't even bother paying the damn ticket...

LMAO, true, VA state troopers don't make sh*t for money, that's why they're bitter.[HR][/HR]
eh hem, connecticut sucks even more, particularily hamden ct. these cops are pricks, i got pulled over going 37 in a 35, and the cop procedes to drag me out of the car with one hand on his gun and searches me, every uncomfortable situation. i was kinda thumping music, but this was real unneccesary. The cops excuse " Oh, thought you were somebody else"
