So I'm leaving base to go home on my lunch break. I'm driving the T/A and I still have the slicks/skinnies on. I leave base driving 45, then start slowing down since the limit drops to 40 for about a block, then goes back up to 45. I'm doing 42 when the state cop passes me then whips a u-turn. I set the cruise at 45 in a 45 thinking I'm about to get pulled over for exhaust being too loud. He paces me then flips on the lights. I pull off on a side street and shut it down. The number of tickets i'm getting is going through my head. He walks up and asks for the usuall. He said the reason I pulled you over was because you were doing 52 in a 40. I said, I was doing WHAT!!? I remained polite, just shocked. Then it hit me...the slicks are bigger than my street tires. I said, oh, the bigger tires I have on now must have thrown off the speedo. He asks how my record is and I told him the last time I was pulled over for speeding was 2002. He goes ok and walks back to his car. He comes back with a warning and goes on his way. I'm lucky he only wrote me a warning.

I didn't think the tires threw my speedo off 7 mph ugh. Anyways, needless to say I'm driving the Vette back to work lol.
