Unhappy G35 Coupe= Cop Magnet?? How do I avoid tickets??

Over the last year since i got my silver stock G35 coupe, I've really slowed down my driving but somehow I've gotten a lot more tickets @ 5 tickets for 1 year !!!
I can't keep going like this or I will lose my license!
Previous Cars I Owned that have been driven like hell with only a max of 1 ticket per year: Toyota Supra Turbo w intake and exhaust, Toyota Celica with headers intake and exhaust, Scion TC with supercharger. Suprisingly, even with performance parts, my previous cars ended up getting less attention from cops than my stock 04 g35 coupe that i drive waaaay slower.

Should i sell the G or not? Help me decide and answer these questions:

1) Have you noticed an increase in tickets since you've gotten your G over your previous car?

2) What are the top cars cops look to pull over? Civics & Infiniti's?

3) What car would be nice and sporty but not get a lot of attention from cops? BMW Coupe?

4) Is it just a problem with the area I live in ? Too many cops in Tampa, FL?

5) What are the best ways to avoid or get out of tickets after or before issued?

6) Has anyone else thought about selling their G because of tickets as well ?

7) What's the best defense against tickets? Passport 8500 x2 ?

Did you know when you obey the speed limit and obey traffic laws... the ticket rate decreases.

lol, so whats with the join date and this being your first post?

And yeah, your an idiot. If your gonna speed, do it like me, in a beige ford taurus, I passed a cop with a radar doing 80 today and he didnt give a fuck.

But on a serious note, maybe you just shouldn't speed? I've had ONE ticket in the past 4 years, and thats because i was driving like a 16 year old idiot...because i was 16.

OP, a radar detector isn't going to lower the tickets you get, it will make you think you're invincible and you'll drive fast and get more tickets.

In any case, passports are inferior to the almighty Valentine V1.
