My Gti is a little too ghetto for my northern NJ whitebread town. On a curvy hilly backroad one town over I passed a cop coming the other way. He could only have seen me for less than a couple of seconds. A mile down the road he pulls me over. He says he had me doing 48 in a 35 zone (I was doing about that).(Can they clock if you're only in front of them for a couple of seconds?) I told him I didn't think that was possible because I happened to have my handheld GPS on and I was comparing it to the speedo. I could replay the track for him and show him I was doing 35( I only know how to do it on a PC). He said yeah sure but it wouldn't show where I was doing 35. I said it would. He ran my license and reg, and comes back a little while later and says, How does that GPS work now? I told him that it's always recording time, position, altitude etc. He let me go. So, he made up the 48mph stuff just because the car looked -urban-.
