maybe he just wanted to mess with you

The cops in that specific jurisdiction are well-known as some of the most obnoxious cops in the state. There are backdoors on several traffic rules that people fall for all the time and both of my parents have been pulled over for stupid reasons in their TINY area. My dad was ticketed for making an illegal left turn into the McDonald's, but the No Left Turn sign was conveniently hidden behind heavy traffic and there is a left turn lane right there as well. Since the incident, recent construction has placed a divider at the McDonald's entrance to discourage left turns.

My mom was pulled over for "Swerving" and then interrogated in the car with me in the passenger seat. She was following my dad home who was driving his car. Now my mom is not the best or the safest driver, but I notice and squeeze the armrests when she drives dumb. She wasn't doing that when we were pulled over though, so we figure they were chasing down random cars to sniff around for intoxicated people.

I think my dad was pulled over one other time and left with a warning for a license plate light bulb or something, which is more normal.

maybe it's because you haul ass at every stoplight ;))))

I never did my....oh.

Now that has me wondering.

I never screeched tires or floored the gas in front of him last night, but I'm wondering if he picked up on other times that the white Buick with rust under the gas tank was doing that and wanted to see if I'd do it again. I really doubt it though, because I always scan for cops before I do that. All they ever do is sit on medians with their lights off trapping unsuspecting people even though there are laws that say they aren't allowed to do that. The state cops around here will sit on medians and shoulders, but they almost always keep their lights on. There was one time when I saw a state trooper violating that.

Ok which is nicer?

The Volvo...but if you ever need to buy parts for it, it's a lot harder to get your hands on Volvo parts than Volkswagen parts and they tend to be more expensive. Then again, I'm pretty sure you live in Europe so I don't know anything about availability of Volvo parts over there.

So I'm walking down the street, right? In the center, about 3:00pm where traffic's a killer.

The road was covered in vehicles. You could bearly see the asphalt. Then, surprise ambulance came rushing by. The road opened a lane almost immediately. The ambulance never had to brake. It was amazing.

that moment when your passenger side windshield wiper gets out of alignment in heavy rain

Ok so Volvo it is because this site pretty much sells enough parts to build an entire new Volvo S40 out of http://www.mister-auto.nl/fl/volvo-s40-i-vs-1-6-105pk_v7920.html

I'm getting a job soon, and I told my parents I wanted to buy a car that was more fun to drive. They proceeded to laugh at me and tell me that different cars don't vary in fun factor and that I was wasting money. These parents also think that a 2009 camry is one of the nicest cars you can get. Why do I even bother telling my parents about my interests?

Fun cars to drive are cheap Clios. I swear, I ended up with the shift in my hand, the clutch managed to get stuck, I had a similar incident with mud as I had with my truck, except that the insurance paid that due to it being a rental so I didn't give a forget.


Lets not forget, the backseat seatbelts are bad. Very very bad.


I have a truck like this it's a 5-speed
