I always suspected, since the new transmission was put in, that my speedo was reading incorrectly.. it would bounce around at times, seem to drag and then speed up, generally do wierd things.. but I guess it's reading off by quite a bit. It read 58, officer cited me at 72(!!). I've never been pulled over before, so I about **** myself, though I wasn't sure what I had done.. and now I have a nice citation in my hand. I'm not exactly sure how to go about handling this.. (the speedo error OR the citation..).. ?

Oh yea, and my left tail light is out, too. The one I just replaced a week ago.
