My streak has ended
Tonight I had to attend one of those insipid business/social events that I've come to abhor. I was only about 3 miles from home, and at the very last minute I decided to jump onto Route 2 for one exit instead of taking surface streets. Figured traffic would be light and I could 
up to speed. As I hit 68MPH, that's when it happened. 
Blue lights in my rearview. 
I pulled right over, made it look like I was taking off my seatbelt for good measure and met one of MA's finest, who pointed out to me 
that it was a STOP sign on the entrance ramp, not a YIELD. I knew that.
Thankfully, he only gave me a written warning
for the STOP sign and never said a word about the and the 13 over the limit. 
I've had the S for 4 years now, and have never been stopped, so I really can't complain. But I will.

From the sound of the title, I thought you got a ticket. This cop is like just waiting behind that sign because stop signs on entrance ramps to highways are pretty rare. Cop knows that too, easy way to fill the quota.

Not as glad as I am, Jeff. I just got my SDIP in the mail the other day and I'm running credit points. Like to stay there for a good long time.

I knew that plate sounded familiar when I heard a BOLO over the radio earlier!
"Attention all units, be on the look out for MA registration "S2000". Yellow Honda convertible operated by a grouchy, cookie hoarding, who likes to disregard stop signs. Use caution when approaching as he likes to complain about everything".
