Default Owning & enjoying your ZR-1 - Speeding Cameras, speed traps, speed enforcement

Has anyone else found that they don't enjoy driving as much anymore, but especially in their ZR-1's, now that we live in a world of constant speed and safety enforcement. On any given day, driving 3 miles to work I pass red light cameras, speed cameras, police speed traps, and poorly timed lights. I have to go out of my way to find certain "special places" to exercise my Z's secondaries, and have lost the enjoyment of driving now that I face constant fines and harassment.

Every Maryland highway has orange barrels/construction and, thus, requisite speeding cameras mounted way up high. Now that tax revenues are down, the state and municipalities have turned to red light and speed cameras to pad their budgets... I for one am ready to go buy a hybrid and just set the cruise at a constant 30mph!

Do my fellow ZR-1 auto enthusiasts feel the pain, or is this just an East Coast thing?
