I thought the good luck number in Chinese was 8. You know 8888, etc.

I think 6 is usually a denotation of bad luck (as in 666 the sign of the devil)

Just thinking out loud....

I bet you would not have got the Parking Ticket if you had been doing 66mph

Oh and had the CD on track 6

(I realise that someone else actually took the picture whilst you diligently had both hands on the steering wheel)

Regards,
John

I thought about that, waiting for the temp to get to 66 deg, set it to CD6 Track 6, and do 66mph...but...that may have been too much, I only had 0.1 mile to work with (switch over from 6666.5 to 6666.6)

(umm, yes, someone was took the picture while I was diligently driving with full attention to the road )
