I like the car.
"aggressive acceleration" ticket. WHAT? Getting up to speed as quickly is one method to conserving fuel. (I'm sure there's a limit to just how quickly one can do it and not burn a bunch of fuel.) It's not uncommon for me to go from 0-35 in ~1.5 seconds at a light. Heck, last week there was a car blocking my lane on the other side of a light I was stopped at. Not wanting to wait for them to parallel park, I punched it, got over into the other lane... I was already to the next block by the time the car that was to the right of me at the light was across the intersection.
I can't imagine if they handed out tickets for "aggressive acceleration" here. I'd probably move. A friend of mine did get a ticket for "exhibition" when he spun his tires all of the way through a large intersection.
