Little Red Ticket Machine

[Larry C Leung]

You've missed my story of my red 4KQ being PASSED by a clapped out gold
Chebby Chevette one time at a known radar trap (plus my Passport squalked
moments before). Trooper waited until AFTER the Chevette passed me before
he zapped me, going a cerifiable 55 MPH. Wonder why he didn't go after
the Chevette...

Any wonder why I won't consider another bright red or yellow (sorry Huw)
car?
