VWvortex Member Test Drives Genesis Coupe, Gets Pulled Over
Looks like a fellow Genesis Coupe enthusiast went to go test drive one in New Mexico, and was encouraged by the dealer to, er, drive quickly. He was pulled over by a cop, clocked at 87 in a 55 and was given the choice of paying the $200 fine or going to court. Otherwise, he, like many others were intoxicated by the croon of the v6; however he was not impressed with the quality of the interior. More details at VWvortex, here.
After those words were pronounced, suddenly, the inner gorilla that inhabits every car enthusiast took over my brain and my right foot. All of a sudden I was doing 90… 100… 110… 120. There was light traffic but still, what the heck was I thinking? Pure madness!! the sound of the engine and the exhaust at WOT was intoxicating. 15 mins later I see a brand new STI driving unusually slow on the far left lane. After slowing down and being right next to him for about 2 mins, I saw the open road again and started to accelerate just to be pulled over by a state trooper that was on the far right lane behind an 18-wheeler driving in the middle lane.
