Camaro Driver Pulled Over For Speeding Blames ‘Too Many Hot Wings’

As a parent, it’s probably not a good idea to buy your newly licensed teenage kid a muscle car like a Chevrolet Camaro SS or Ford Mustang GT. Unless they are one of those rare responsible teenagers, it’s very likely that they will speed in the car, street race it, mistreat it or worst of all, crash it. Don’t discount the possibility of all four of these things happening, either.
A news story out of Eden Prairie, Minnesota published by Fox 9 serves as a good reminder of why this is such a bad idea. According to the article, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police pulled a red Camaro SS over this week after an officer clocked the muscle car travelling at 170 km/h – or about 105 mph. When the officer quizzed the 16-year old driver of the Camaro on why they were going so fast, they came up with an interesting excuse:
“Too many hot wings and needed to bathroom,” the driver was quoted in saying.
We all sympathize with having some digestive issues after eating spicy food, but this humorous excuse wasn’t enough to get our troubled teen Camaro driver out of a ticket. They were handed down a $966 CDN fine for speeding and were also given a $203 CDN ticket for driving on a learner’s license without a supervising driver in the passenger seat. Knowing Canada’s strict traffic laws, we’d say this muscle car-driving wing enthusiast got off pretty easy.
Here’s to safe driving and safe hot wing consuming, GM Authority readers.

If you’re going to regurgitate stories, kindly do so accurate to the source: Eden Prairie is in Minnesota – not Manitoba.

The kid was pulled over in Manitoba. The news station reporting it is in Minnesota. This is slightly less confusing when you realize that we don’t enforce speeds using Kilometers per hour in the USA, even in weird states like MN. 😉
LOL. Typical here in “fly-over” land. I live in MN and it’s amazing to me these people don’t know about the other 48 states besides California and New York.
105, i do that in a 40 mph zone, man up and peg the needle!!!!!
If you gotta go, you gotta go fast 🙂
It says the storie is from Fox News nine in Eden Prairie Minnesota. I guess you’re given Canadian news, because American teenagers don’t speed.
if the driver was in san fran calif he could have stopped and pooped on the sidewalk.
Only 170 ? In that car it would have felt like 100 (kms). I have a Hyundai that feels like 170 when doing 100.
“needed to bathroom” looks like someone needs a sobriety test.
Either that or grammer.
If he was caught doing that anywhere near Vancouver he’d be in jail and the car would be sent to the crusher.
I may or may not have driven somewhat faster than that a few times when I was 19…
