KD, try to not be too upset about the ticket. Last year on Halloween I had to rush in to town to get last minute costume stuff for my daughter. I've got a Chrysler Sebring, sporty sedan along the size of a Grand Am. Mine's a V6 though, lots of power, don't know about your new car. Anyway, I got caught going 81 in a 55 zone. That car rides so smooth, and I was the only one on a straight stretch of road and alone in the car. I had no clue I was going that fast until the state trooper pulled out behind me and I looked at the speedometer. Ooops.

A $350 ticket and 6 lost points later, you can be darn sure that I keep a close eye on my speed now. Oh, and for some reason it didn't affect my insurance premiums. In fact, they just dropped another $20 a month on this last bill, and it hadn't been a year since the ticket.

No one got hurt and maybe it will put just enough of a scare into her that she'll be more careful from now on.
