You're being charged with Failure To Read Entire Thread - Misdemeanor. Your sentence is to answer the next 10 posta where a newbie asks (1) Can they burn their own CDs and play them in the stock HU or (2) Should they buy a used TL, they're worried about the transmission.

If you think the chrome rims and everything will slow you down, throw it into the TL you have now. And to tell you the truth, any car is fast enough to get you into trouble, the only thing thats different is the time is takes to get there. Why start up another money pit when you have a good one in front of you!

Good luck with whatever happens on the 18th Justin.

People drove drunk, hit cars and got away for MUCH less than that. To me, the consequence is unfair. My lawyer and I will discuss this with the judge on the 18th.
I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm just looking for support and ideas to help me with my problem. I realize what I did (I will not get into details) was stupid and that it will cost me a lot, not only because of the fines, record and suspension, but my insurance will go up big time, the cost of my license (when i get it back) too, and a criminal record aint no good. The story even made it in a local weekly newspaper (EXAGERATED, on top of that
, just like the police report...)
Anyways, I'm really sorry for what I've done, and I am ready to pay the (fair) price.
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts.

Learning your lesson is good. Sometimes we need to learn from the school of hard knocks before we are willing to change our behavior. I'm glad you are becoming more responsbile for your actions, it shows maturity and level headedness which I applaud.
With a good lawyer, you should be able to remove the crimminal record and reduce your penalty. What you need to do now is learn how to control your right foot (I know how hard it is), and swapping your 99 TL-P for a new one doesn't make sense. If you can't control your foot in your modded 99 TL-P, what makes you think you can control it in the 02 TL-P?
The fact that the 02 TL won't have any speed mods doesn't make a difference. You will still speed but be slower getting there due to all the extra weight. I recommend you take some time to reflect on how to gain self control. You'll be a better guy because of it. My 2 cents.

Oh yeah, and good luck with everything. I've been there before, it sucks. Deal with the consequences and move on, hopefully learning a valuable lesson in the process. Keep your car, black cars are pains in the asses to keep clean.

hey Justin,
I wish you luck with everything. Take this advice from an old man (32).... well older man at least, when I was your age, damn now I sound like my dad, anyway, when I was your age I use to drive fast and very aggresive. Driving in and out of NYC from NJ for 5 years for school will do that to a man. Now, I dont drive like that anymore. My friends laugh and remember how aggresive I use to drive in the past and ask me what happened to that person, I guess I just grew up. Dont get me wrong I still open her up, but not like I use to in the past. I guess the older you get you realize that we are not immortals and things could happen in the blink of an eye, here one minute gone the next. Well, I guess I think like that as well because I work in the medical examiners office and see all types of motor vechile accidents. People like you and me just driving home from work or school thinking whats for dinner and BAM, accidnet, lights out game over. Bottom line, sorry for the soap box speech but it really isnt worth it, the worst calls I make are calling in parents to come in and identify their son or daughter. Next time anyone reading these words wants to speed or drive aggresively, think just think of how the people around you would be if you were no longer around. Ok, I'm done. Signing off, sorry for the long speech. JBL
