V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.

I had a Texas DPS officer in my store last week that had just graduated from the academy and I asked him at what point over the speed limit they will give a ticket.
He said that most will pull you over if you are 8mph or over.
He also said that they are trained to make the decision to give a ticket or not before they get out of the car.
But it's all common sense and what kind of day they're having really... 
You talked to a rookie DPS trooper. DPS troopers have a hard on for writing tickets, and almost all rookies like to write tickets. In the city it's totally different. Many officers never write tickets, maybe 1 or 2 a week at most. DPS troopers only job is to write tickets on the highway.
As far as training to make the decision to write before you get out of the car, that's just bad police work IMO. I was trained to use the totality of the circumstances and all evidence and factors at the scene, and using my training and experience to make a decision based on all of that before taking enforcement action. You might pull over a car for speeding 15 over the limit and inside there is a woman rushing to the hospital because her child was just hit by a car and she wants to get to him. Should I write a ticket to her because she was speeding? There are an endless number of reasons why people commit traffic violations, and unless the person is just plain defiant and disregarding the law at will then often a warning serves the same purpose as a ticket. The job of the police is to maintain the safety of the public, not to be a revenue generator for the city. A warning is considered taking enforcement action just like writing a ticket. IMO officers who write everyone for everything are missing the point of their job and are not using the discretion that they have been given.
Did I say this was the gospel? This was a conversation and not a writing of an SOP manual.
Cops are always right though... 
What a tit sausage.
