Nah, you got pulled over because they were looking to catch a drunk driver. The speeding ticket was just the consolation prize.

US-19 in Summersville, WV. 65mph limit all the way down the highway, it’s nice and wide with ample shoulders, and it’s EMPTY. Suddenly the speed limit drops to 50 as you head into town. Small town cops are waiting and will pull drivers over for the slightest infraction, think under 5 over.
I-84 near Middletown, NY. I can’t remember exactly where the speed limit drops but it’s somewhere in this area. The road is smooth, wide, and flat yet the limit inexplicably drops to 55 for about a 15 mile (not sure on the distance but it’s decently long) stretch.
I-79 passing by Pittsburgh, 55mph limit. Save for one short section near Neville Island it’s no more curvy or hilly than any segment north or south, where the limit is 65. It’s actually wider and smoother for most of this section as well.
Yeah, it totally was an oddball. The first one I owned had that wicked cool digital dash.
Funny, I skipped right over this one because I thought everyone knew you could off-road old Subarus. I actually had a few back in the day. Instead I posted about lifting a Subaru XT, which can totally be done but as far as I know, nobody has: http://jalopnik.com/subaru-xt-it-s…

GAH!
Breaking the water speed record. The current record is 317.6 mph, set in 1978 by Ken Warby in the Spirit of Australia. Many have died trying to break the water speed record over the decades, some sources estimate a mind blowing 85% fatality rate for water speed record attempts.

Depends on the car and what it’s worth. Craigslist would be my normal go-to, but if it’s busted enough that you’re okay with getting $300 to $500 for it just sell it to a junkyard. Fast, easy, no worries about scams, no worries about liability.
No, actually, he doesn’t. He has an entire closet full of the same outfit. He’s very involved in his job and wants to devote all his mental energy to it, and that includes not having to make a decision about what to wear every morning.
Nice car. Super clean with all the right stuff- turbo, stick, t-tops. And it looks awesome, I would totally drive it. Just not for $7k.
In pretty much every car I’ve driven that has either daytime running lights or gauges that illuminate even when the lights are off, the “Jellyfish about to kiss” light means any lights other than the running lights are on. This light comes on whether you’re using the parking lamps or the headlights. Example:
Ford Aspire. Not sure what they were aspiring to.
Hindustan Ambassador. How many ambassadors drive an Ambassador?
