I'm so glad that I'm not traveling again today I don't think I could take another day like yesterday. Two new rear tires in 3 hours.

I've developed a very bad habit of waking up an hour earlier than I'm supposed to and then it's impossible to go back to sleep . . . happens like every other day now.

How else am I suppose to wake up at 10am dammit?!

Got a ticket this morning..

Was cruising down a 50mph stretch of road and a buick pulled out in front of me in the right lane doing about 20mph, I had a car coming up on the left of me so i had to slow down to let him pass. Once he passed me, the old woman in the buick still hadn't gained speed so i gave my blinker and punched it to get around her, When i punched it kicked down to first gear and screamed the tires hard.

I Looked to the left and there is the sheriff already hitting his brakes and turning around. Got me for Exhibition of Acceleration. He was a old man but pretty cool about it. He said i know these new truck are pretty powerful but what you did was just "showing off". I laughed and told him i only have a little v6 under the hood.. He said yea right..

Atleast i can take defensive driving, the ecobeast finally got me in trouble after 11 months.

I always thought exhibition of acceleration was part of drag racing, and i sure wasnt drag racing a 80 year old woman in a buick.

I wasnt even up to the 50mph speed limit yet. once i nailed it and when i noticed the sheriff i was only a car length ahead of her.

Squealing the tires probably didn't help matters.

We don't have that problem because the popo can't keep up.
