noooooooooooo, come on..

I told pplz. No matter, it'll be off the record in a yr or so. Time to drive like a granny.

Yeah there was no official meet planned for yesterday because of the holidays. The next one in Columbia should be on the 14th :tup:

95mi + in a 70 zone, Ohio turnpike...

He only cited me for 80mi in a 70 tho, have to call to figure out fine...

Almost got pulled over a second time same night lol... I was being stubborn and wouldn't let an suv pass me, so eventually he got real pissed and just gunned it, he was going 90+ in a 65 and I was goin 80+, the PoPo pulled out and followed him instead of me... phew...

The next night my friend got pulled over driving my car lol... Lets just say he went really fast in a 35mi zone and we both. The officer was sooooo pissed, he was like... "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SPEED LIMIT IS SON!? I clocked you in at 60mph before I lost you and you were still accelerating." Of course, my friend pulls out a fop card so when he came back from his cruiser, he was more pissed at me for letting him drive. He was like "WHY DID YOU LET HIM DRIVE YOUR CAR? WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF HE CRASHED IT!??". Then he said something like... "the officer I just called, he said for me to use my own judgement in this situation and I could put you both in jail and impound your car. One for reckless driving and the other (me) for 'wrongful entrustment', BUT... I'm not going to, I'm giving you this warning citation..."

After all this, I was like... if that were me driving... I'd be in deep ****. We were both so ******* freaked out the whole time lol... I think I learned not to speed from this incident more than my own ticket...

Then literally like 20min later that night some dbag in a Pontiac GT was egging us on and we were like... Nope... no more speeding for a long time lol...

Oh man... crazy weekend...

Also, I'm in crisis mode right now... This is what my car looks like after driving 6 hrs through 5 snowstorms, anyone know a good car wash place?

Slow yo' roll, son. Better slow down before you give us all a bad name. ;)

lingling, thats crazy man, thanks for sharing.. it was kinda funny at the same time.

Yea I won't be speeding anymore... totally not worth getting in trouble...

Also, years ago I drove 160 miles (of a 300 mile trip) through the mountains in a snow storm... when I finally made it home:

I survived by following in the tracks of 18 wheelers. They'd clear enough snow for me to be able to drive down the highway at around 35mph safely as long as I didn't stray outside of the tracks. Once I got off the highway I was on my own... in some places the snow was 6" deep and I was the only car forging through. I didn't do anything that would slow my momentum down, so I didn't stop for red lights or stop signs. Not that it mattered because I was the only car on the road... I should have stopped ahead of the storm and checked into a hotel room... afterall classes were cancelled the following day. :icon17:

I grew out of the "holy crap I'm going way over the speed limit" phase after I made it out of my teenage years. I still enjoy accelerating quickly and everything, but on the street I don't cruise fast anymore... its just not worth it and you never end up getting where you're going any faster than you would if you drove at a reasonable pace.

Now when we go to ZDayZ all bets are off... :rofl2:

I guess I was lucky I caught the storms as they were coming down, rather than after 6 feet of snow lol... I just hope all that salt and dirt doesn't hurt my car...

It's too late to worry about that... Nissan paint and clear is notoriously terrible. You just have to learn not to stress about it too much. :)

You just gotta do it when no ones looking and open her up once in a while.:tup:

Dude, just wash the salt off as soon as you can.. thats what I would do.

Not everyone gets to drive around with a get out of jail free card like you. :p

I wish I could, I don't have access to a water hose at my apartment complex, I need to find a car wash or detailer...

That's exactly what I did lol, I went through Pennsylvania without speeding or seeing a single cop... but as soon as I hit Ohio and decide to have a lil fun, I whip by a cop literally 2 seconds later and facepalmed...

hehe... dude, but I dont put myself in those kinda situations.:tup:

ewwwwwwww. damn!

Exactly, I drive 5 over the limit, if im feeling spirited, ten over.

But then again, maybe 5 is too fast, considering 3mph over in grand island is considered speeding...........ugh im still pissed about that.

We have to remember here that Virginia cops a much less forgiving than MD cops where traffic matters are concerned. In MD, 5-10 over is the flow of traffic.

There's always a bit of a shock once you cross into MD (no, not the shado shock... that's later) and realize that you need to be going 20-30 over to keep up on 495. :icon17:

:icon18:

Dude, I'd be pissed.. maybe the cop didnt like Nissan's.:bowrofl:

Thats the truth..

I was in my Pilot when I was pulled over. When I asked him what I was doing he said "a little fast, 3mph over"..........I asked him if he was serious and he just ignored me. I just took it and went on my way. Its just its all the way up in Buffalo and Im not about to have my insurance sky rocket. Fortunately for me, my wife's grandfather (went to her grandmother's funeral) is on his death bed up there so ill have a reason to go up there later this month and can kill two birds with one stone. If he can hang on for at least 3 more weeks im fine, but better not be before or after.

Im going to hell.

Honestly, if that doesnt get thrown out, I'll be shocked. Isnt it fairly common knowledge that there can be a +/- 5 mph swing on speedometers? Not to mention tire wear can impact it slightly...there are lots of angles you could approach arguing this ticket.

Well its quite common on Grand Island from what ive heard, my wife's parents got nabbed for going 4 over once and it was thrown out since her dad had a clean driving record. Its just one stretch in front of the school on the island where theyll sit on the side and just pull people cause theyre bored......its not like theres ever too much going on in GI anyways.

:iagree: :inoutroflpuke: :bowrofl:

Hey are there any guys here locally that have the stillen G3's? Id like to hear one in person before I blow 400 bucks on one. Hopefully theres a FFX'er that has one. Thanks

I have them on mine, but you'll have to come to an MD meet to hear them ;)

2theextreme has them on his.

Yep, but I just dropped my car off to get the stupid air ride suspension fixed. Been putting it off for about 3 months now finally gave in to having to start the car everyday just to keep it from resting on the tires.

(Note to self.....never get air ride on the next car you buy. :icon14:)

You going to be in FFX this weekend steve?

Planning on it but we'll see. It depends on when I go swap my wheels.

just get some K&N drop ins and call it a day. The gains with the aftermarket cai are negligable and not seen until +6.8 rpms. save the $300 for something else, the z's stock intake is already very efficient.

Very true. K&Ns + Z1 Post Maf tubes = win:

I wanna get this too! after seeing it on Ron's car... however cant decide on the color :p

I think you'd have had a plethora of people tell you to not get air ride on the car in the first place...or maybe you did and I just didnt notice lol.
