I wanted a valentine 1 until I saw the $400 price tag. About gagged. I thought $150 was "expensive" for them.Quote:

I just started to cast my own lead bullets and I have lead poising!! It all went to my right foot, Sunday's speeding ticket cost $169.50. [Bang] [Bang]Quote:

The best thing you can do to be safe and avoid tickets is to have good SA.
I heard Whistler isn't too bad either
just ebay'd a big on the 8500x50 for $150. I will know in 2 days if I didn't "win" the item.
Good luck. I love mine! Buuutt when you hear "Laser Alert !!" Might be too late. As in my case! [facepalm]Quote:

Wow. I think I have 4 tickets in 10 years of driving. All of them for speeding. No tickets in the last 4 years though.
I have a class A commercial drivers license, with air brakes. And been driving for 27 years. 22 years with CDL. [Coffee]Quote:

Lightweights.
Only speeding ticket I ever got was 83 in a 55. And that got knocked down to improper lane usage when I talked to the ADA
Those are all "Go to jail, go immediately to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200."Quote:

Me, "Well sir, I have winter tires and it IS an Audi. I'm thankful you didn't have me on radar, but honestly I would have slowed had it alerted, and therefore been driving in a much safer manner."
My lawyer got it down to a 1 point headlight violation after playing a round with the Denver ADA.
Whoooo....you guys live dangerously!
I'm exhausted. My performance at work today accounted for just shy of 1/3rd of the group's total output, out of 9 people. 122 service calls out of 355
Depends. now a days yes. Those were at least 10-20 years ago. It helps if you make them laugh , ask them how fast they clocked you, vs what your speedo read, etc. Each and every LE asked, You admit you were traveling that fast. yes sir why lie, I know it, You know it.Quote:

The 100+ were all on my HD bagger's.
My attorney charged me $750 per. I suggested he go on commission ;)

Hiya OBC!
Sup
Yo, Stoner..
Wif and I went to the DMNS tonight for a Halloween type function.... it wasn't too bad, and not too crowded either.
Next week we have some tickets for dinner and the Mythbuster folks exhibit....should be kinda cool I think.
What's DMNS?
Sorry, Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
:)
Ah, cool. Haven't made it there yet, because the spouse and I don't really care for crowds.
