Plain & simple. I believe that this has been an appropriately timed wake up call to grow up that will cost me big, but I'll survive. The important thing is to be able to provide for my wife and new son, which is all I ask when this all shakes out.
I wanted to say to you guys that I appreciate the advice, the sympathy, the proposed schemes, and especially the deserved admonition.
When I was driving down that road and passed the cop, I thought to myself, boy you are complete toast, and I contemplated losing him; which, upon reflection was probably possible as I had a huge lead, and could have taken the Aero up to 230 easily, whereas the OPP (ontario provincial police) are governed to 200. This I learned from a mechanic. Instead though, I decided to take whatever came on the chin rather than risk winding up in more of a mess. Likewise, rather than get into a creative battle over this ticket I'll state my case and situation and plead for leniancy, rather than risk ticking off the judge.
This doesn't mean that than I'm not still a Saab enthusiast, I just won't be very concerned with top end power ;-)
