Anyone get a ticket? That PA Trooper was not a happy boy.

No tickets, just warnings. 30+ BMWs pulled over along the shoulder, of the PA Turnpike, which ended up causing an accident from the onlookers creeping past. I heard one BMW did get ticketed and towed, but never confirmed this rumor.

The single Trooper was pulling over any vehicle with a BMW badge for about 10 minutes, so BMW SUVs with families in the car with no ties to our raucous caravan were pulled over too, wasting their time. And then he simply recorded plates and gave warnings, most of them verbal. It was silly.

As for the caravan of BMWs headed to MPact, it was definitely fun...accompanied by perfect weather that day (70s, sunny, and breezy).
