Got a ticket this morning..
Was cruising down a 50mph stretch of road and a buick pulled out in front of me in the right lane doing about 20mph, I had a car coming up on the left of me so i had to slow down to let him pass. Once he passed me, the old woman in the buick still hadn't gained speed so i gave my blinker and punched it to get around her, When i punched it kicked down to first gear and screamed the tires hard.
I Looked to the left and there is the sheriff already hitting his brakes and turning around. Got me for Exhibition of Acceleration. He was a old man but pretty cool about it. He said i know these new truck are pretty powerful but what you did was just "showing off". I laughed and told him i only have a little v6 under the hood.. He said yea right..
Atleast i can take defensive driving, the ecobeast finally got me in trouble after 11 months.

setting you up cause she knew he was there....
yep....some of the v6 3.8 Buicks/Pontiacs/Chebbies came with an Eaton on top....they are quick but not that quick....due to a low compression motor that allows them to run any gas they'd like...kinda like the ecotooters....

that's what Ford should've done to begin with or went with the 5.8 instead....imo

Haha. It wakes you up doesn't hit? Tahoe in front got a little air in the rear and started crab walking and I'm fairly this old Saturn behind bottomed out. We were probably doing between 65-70.
