I've had a number of random issues since I arrived in Miami, but yesterday was quite shocking for a different reason.

On my way to work, I generally gun it onto 95 South from Brickell. I saw a Charger, looked stock, so I proceeded to drive "normal". By the time I'm on South Dixie, those unwanted dash light are lighting up my rear view.

I knew I was speeding, and honestly I have no idea how fast. I guess I don't look at the HUD these days.

The officer approached... "how many horses does this car have? Do you know how fast you were going?"

Me: I was definitely over 55 back there, how fast was I going?

Cop:55? Try 80

Me:damn

Cop:yeah, you floored and you were off onto the highway.

He asked for license, registration... The norm. Then that was it, handed the items back and warned me to slow it down. Welcomed me to Florida and warned of the nit so nice troopers that would give a ticket for speeding, and not having a Florida license.

I haven't ran into a cool cop in over 9 years, and given my experience here so far, that single act goes far. We often get pissed when we are in the wrong and get a ticket. I was prepared to pay the ticket and this happens, surprised the hell out of me. My weekend is off to a great start, enjoy and be safe.
