Cruise Control moshy... I use it like it's my job! I hurt my ankle awhile ago and with how small cars are (6'2" and a bit lanky), constant pedal work agitates my ankle 😛. It also stops me from wanting to speed if I just "set it and forget it."

Although I did have this one time the other day... I got behind this rather slow van (was going -15MPH) and I just got sick and tired of it. So I bolted up a side road (note, this road's speed limit is 30mph... the normal way the van went is 55mph). I was going about 35-40 on the side road and I still beat the van out by about a quarter of a mile or more. Kind of sad.

But yeah... if I'm not using CC in my car... don't ever push '6' on my stereo. '3' is also bad if you put it to 5 (Vitalic - My Friend Dario) or 8 (Tegma - Robot Don't Hurt Me (Johan Ilve's Remix)). Oh 11 is a good one too... that's Bubble's Biddi-bodi Biddi-boo... you know, the song in Super Troopers when they're driving the Porsche around 😛.

you're a rambler. 😛

i put the CC on promptly *after* i saw the police car. 🙁
 
I always get the ticket for no insurance/expired tags + the speeding ticket. Go downtown, show my proofs, and then pay the speeding or go to traffic school.

Which one? I was actually listening to them yesterday for a bit of a flashback. I also purchased their song pack on Rock Band (Self-Esteem, Gone Away and Too Fly (For a White Guy))!

i've never tried the crying, show some tit approach, although i did think of giving turning down a side road.. quick.

This chick I used to work with would begin speaking spanish, pretend not to know english and start crying. It got her out of a few tickets.

No guarantee. The cop might hate immigrants.

True. I'm quite surprised it worked also, since we're in South Florida and there's plenty of spanish speaking cops. She got lucky, and I'm sure her looks helped the situation (no pics).

I can't help it. I'm hiding in the office plant behind your desk. I can't tell if it's perfume or shampoo and I don't give a rat's ass cuz you smell goooooooooooood

:stalker;
 
First I was like, 😕
Then I was like.....:neutral;

I get it now. Never had a speeding ticket, so I don't know the series of events.


Also if you get your inspection done on the 1st of the month after the month it was due, you get that month's sticker. ~30 days free. 🙂


 
"69? I couldn't have been doing 69! I'm here in the car by myself!"

*cue playful wink and suggestive glance at cop*

And, every 12 years, you manage to save an entire year's worth of inspection fee. Thus, in an average driving lifetime, you'll save $84 (in NY, at the present rate for inspection of $21 annually)

I know what I'm doing with MY $84. What are you doing with yours? Oh that's right, you don't have $84!!! Hah!
