My son lost his Supra to me for pretty much the same reason. No, I didn't take it away from him, he had too many tickets in too short of time. And I couldn't afford for him to be on my insurance and he found that the Supra was costing him too much on his own. He now drives a Paseo and hasn't had a ticket in two years. And I have the Supra, but due to issues (head gasket now) I haven't been able to drive it too much yet.

Cops love to go after the younger crowd! Because of all the racing related accidents out here in SoCal, if you are suspected of racing, many of the local jurisdictions are confisating the cars, then taking them to a smasher and then just junking them. Consider yourself lucky if you have a car to sell.

Racing on public roads is just asking for trouble, I know it is great sport, but there are a lot of kids getting killed, more so then a few years ago. I think a lot of it is that the cars go faster and the drivers are not experienced enough to handle the speeds. Either way, look at it as an expensive lesson and next time, use a radar detector.

I have 2 "speed contest" tickets on my record the first was STUPID We were turning left from a light with cars in front of us my friend smoked his tires i was in a 89 accord come on now whats that going to race? He wrote 17MPH in a 30 but said i was racing got a $350 fine 2 points and license taken for a month. 2nd was my fault i was racing a WG6 or whatever firebird on race fuel in my old 71 nova 450HP 4 speed hehe. Anyway ya we raced but only got up to like 45 and got tagged they took my car sold it $1800 fine 2 more points 5 days in jail and 6 month license suspention.

Maybe it was because you pulled over and the gay mits kept running.

[mkiiisupra]

Funny story about pulling over and the other guy running....

My friend was racing in his m3, not sure who against but the cops saw and he pulled off and stoped his friend kept going. The cop told him to follow him and they both pursued the other guy. When the cop caught up to the one who ran he just told my friend to go...

And wrote every ticket he could think of to the other guy hahaha

On a side note i have never raced my car and do not plan on it unless its on a track. Car means too much to me to get it impounded or what not. besides its just too damn expensive. Have got a few bogus tickets myself but was able to get them dismissed.

This you first offense? look into getting the tickets differed if your state allows it and make sure you dont get into any more trouble in 6mos and they drop off.

[suprakid91]

yeah its my first one. how do i go about getting them differed? the other guy that went down with me talked to some of his good cop friends and they all said that they wouldnt have given us reckless driving because they didnt see us. all they had was a random van that saw us pull away. and he stopped and talked to the cops. but they also said we could get them lowered to careless driving or even drop by changing the first court date to a different day. and keep the story straight. haha.

This is an old post, but I just felt I had to reply to it... firstly, because Supra's are for the young at heart... (that accounts for the young people who make mistakes), secondly because some of you who read this may not understand... "the system".

First, let me say... its great that 16-19 year olds love the car, most even understand it, but in my experience... get a hyundai pony first. Beat that car up... you aint gonna go get a speeding ticket in it... lol. My first car was a '69 Chev Bel Air that I did amazing stunts with, ending up by totalling it off while doing off-road experimentation... (long story) Cost me 300.00 and was worth every penny!
Second... if you get a speeding ticket or stunting or w/e... fight it. Yeah, 80% of you wont win, but you will be amazed at what happens in court. Usually if your sincere in your description of what you are doing and explain that you have learned your lesson, the judge is sympathetic. (At least in Canada it works that way)
Plus.. the guy who ticketed you is now off the street, can't make his quota while waiting for your docket to come up, and sometimes doesn't even make it into court (here, that is instant win for you!).
Also, if your fines are big or your looking at a negative impact on your life, get a lawyer. Its not as expensive as you may think, and very very well worth it. (talk to O.J. about lawyers...) A good lawyer will talk down the fine, or even have them dismissed by explaining things better than you can. It's their job to make you seem angelic and get you off as much as possible. Plus.. they have kids to feed!!

I had a ticket for no insurance, no registration and no license once when I was raising my 2 girls as a single dad. I had no money and needed to get to work, and in my mind that was my only option (drive illegally). The fines were about 3500.00 in total plus 3 months in jail. (YIKES!) So, naturally I got a lawyer (best I could find) and borrowed the money to pay him. In the end, no prison sentence, 1020.00 in fines and the fines changed so that they wouldn't make it impossible for me to get insurance. Cost me 800.00 in lawyers fees. Worth it? Plus, I never had to show up in court once!

So.. just dont accept the fact you did something wrong. Yeah.. you probably did. But the fines aren't intended to ruin your life. They are there to prevent you from doing it. Learn the lesson, let them know you learned it.. and don't do it again.

well as you may know i never did end up selling my car. i biiootched, argued and ignored what my mom told me about selling it. haha. then i blew a head gasket and im the process of repairing it. i still cant find a place that will machine the head though. its starting to make me mad.
