So, out for a drive in the Solstice Today.
Taking in a car show in Canby, Oregon-big event & many, many NICE cars. On the way there, going from a 55MPH zone, into a 45 zone....also a marked "Safety Zone". Just turned 3,000 miles on the odo, and was in the process of shutting off the cruise.....and it dawned on me I was not slowing down. Started to hit the "off" button again, and then I see in my mirror, an Oregon State Trooper with its lights on. Told the wife, I'm gona get a ticket for sure.
Up walks the trooper, and askes for my drivers licence, registration, and proof of insurance. He states he had me on radar at 67 going into the 45 zone. I told him the story, new car, not familiar with the switches, and knew it was odd that I was not slowing down. Gave him my licence and proof of insurance, and told him I'd have to keep looking for the registration. He walks off, and then strolls back, hands me my stuff, and says I should get more familiar with the controls, and to keep the speed down, and gave me a warning. My wife was pissed, I got off with a warning, and she was not as lucky about a month ago!!!!!!
My luck is going to turn good soon. I'm buying some lottery tickets for sure!!!!
