Default Got Pulled For Speeding Today...

...but, he let me off with a stern warning.

I took a 400 mile cruise today in honor of the new exhaust system I installed this morning. It was sunny and in the 60's. The police officer pulled me with less than two miles left to go until I got home.

So, I had me some GOOD LUCK already this year.

4:30 PM January 1, 2006 Washington


Okay, I was doing 74 in a 55 zone.

You're talking about US 58 that runs to Virginia Beach from Emporia, yes? You're right, it's the world's longest speed trap. But, I'm wise to'em there.

I know the NC drivers handbook says "Over 70 in a 55, Lose Your License". I wonder if they ever enforce that. I think it's code for "Go get a lawyer".

My cop buddy said he hit 160 in his 97 the other night. Must be nice to be able to get away with it.

actually she was attempting (sucessfully) to hid an airplane bottle from the eyes of the police officer--she discovered that even airplane bottles will not fit under the seat of a c3.
