One reason I DIDN'T get a SS....too tempting to do stuff like that...not that I don't do it with my V6 occasionally but it doesn't draw the attention a SS gets.

Just be careful out there.

If I had a SS I probably would have killed myself by now

But you are very lucky! I find if your nice and honest with cops, they usually don't treat you too bad, after all they are just doing their jobs.
