So if you go the speed limit or under, you're suspicious because only criminals actually do the speed limit. If you go over the speed limit, you're also a criminal.
I was in the middle lane.

Thorny: 63.
College Boy 1: But... isn't the speed limit 65?
Thorny: Yes, it is.
College Boy 2: I'm freakin' out, man!

5 under in the FAST lane is not truly impeding traffic. It is rude for someone to do, but I don't know that it is something the cop would/could write you for. If you did get a ticket, any traffic judge would throw it out. This cop just tried to find something to use as "probable cause" for a fishing expedition. You want to avoid this in the future? Get a haircut, you hippy!![]()

The cop was checking to see if you were drunk. We got pulled over for going too slow once. Our speedometer was busted and bounced up and down alot so we figured we'd use the high bounce as our speed. The truck we were driving was a piece of crap so there was no point in pushing it anyway. After a couple minutes the trooper realized we weren't drunk, just poor, and let us go.

make/model/year of car?
not that this matters.
Huge deadspot from about 1/4 of the pedal travel all the way to the floor.
Does 0-60 in about 2 minutes, and I have to downshift to 3rd to go up pretty much any hill at more than 50mph.
IOTW, it's hard to go 75.. so 60 is pretty good. :laugh:

People on weed generally dont speed. Drunks do. Too slow? Stoned. Too fast? Drunk.

I dunno. It was saturday, I was just cruising along. It's not like there was heavy traffic. The right lane had trucks and stuff in it, they were going slower. It was just most convienent at the time.Originally posted by: Pepsi90919why the fvck are you doing the speed limit or under in the middle lane?

I'm pretty sure it does have something to do with the timing though. I think maybe both vacuum advance diaphrams are shot, or the whole mechanism just doesen't work properly, or something.
It's actually advanced too far, I've been meaning to step it back a notch.. It pings in some conditions even on premium.

stoners like to get paranoid about the speed limit and stop at green lights and interesting things like that.
