I was. As soon as I opened it I could tell it wasn't right. Oh well, temporary fix in place.

^you actually get a ticket?

That's the gayest looking light on top of there. Looks like a part-time traffic director light.

Howdy everyone, long time no talk!

I may be moving to San Antonio near the end of this summer. Anyone out in that area? Can't wait to be back in the great state of Texas.

It really is. He was going the opposite direction and as soon as he passed me he made a quick u-turn and that's when I was like oh ****. This is the first time I've ever been pulled over on land so I was definitely sick to my stomach.

Nope, got a verbal warning. Got lucky because it was 68 in a 55.

Lol. That's the Michigan State Police for ya with their single roof light. Hey, at least its LED now. It was still the rotating halogen reflector up until a couple years ago.

That is lucky I asked cause I've been pulled over for speeding 5 or 6 times and have yet to get a ticket, and all of them were for at least 12-13 over haha. Haven't been pulled over in almost a year though, and I rarely speed anymore, for good reason.

That's so insulting for them! If a cop down here had that, I'd think they were fake and keep on driving, after having a laugh.

Ole Budha is in SA, but he doesn't come around anymore. SA is a neat place.

My apartment is right next to the parking garage and this FREAKING car alarm has been going off NON-STOP since at LEAST 2 PM, when it woke me up.

I want to break into it, pop the hood, and detach the battery. Goodness I'm reading to go out again. I've not been this annoyed in a long time.

They tow cars here in Calif. if the alarm goes longer than 5 or 10 minutes, it's a law.

Call the cops.
