You know better than that.. driving a truck through smallville TX. They'll ticket you for going 1 mph over. That's how they make their new car payments and lunch money.

Not sure if it applies in your case, but in TX you can get the ticket knocked off your record by paying the court fee (~$100) and taking defensive driving course (~$40, 8 hrs in class or online).

But buy directly from them: for the warranty and usually cheaper too: https://store.valentine1.com/store/ My V1 has been indispensible, I love it. They also don't believe in planned obsolescence. So they do upgrades where you'll send it in and they'll replace hardware/software when necessary for a nominal fee (I think last time, I paid $99, and they just sent me a brand new V1)

I've also hardwired so if (read:when) you buy it, I can show you how I did it.

Lucky yeah. And the city my work is in is one of those 40kmh everywhere but school zone city. So it's slow. But you get used to it. Ain't in a hurry or anything.

And you'll get shot point blank if you pull your license and registration too quickly from your glovebox.

You'd be surprised, although some of these are pretty bad, Montreal has some genuinely confusing and opposite meaning signs somtimes. Then there's orange signs put when there's snow removal that are more important than the non-orange ones... Add construction zones 24/7 with left over long forgotten orange cones... and fuck I hate driving in this city sometimes.

The whole adage of there being two seasons in Canada - winter and construction - is totally false. Its one season and its construction

Toronto is awful when it comes to construction, but im sure its pretty universal for most big Canadian cities unfortunately.

I was in Houston when I got the ticket. I had just gotten off 610 onto 69/59 North.

And, Jeremy, I have to say, I like your TL even more now. I like the new look!

You better watch your ass in Houston..



Also, keep up-to-date on local laws. San Antone and Austin have hands-free laws in effect. Houston might be next. Next time you get a hand job while driving, be sure it's someone else's hand doing the deed.

Man... that is amazing

"lol I just got my new tl the first time I took it out to see what the power felt like my cell was going nuts scenes then if I fell like smoking a ricer it does not come on but then again if it flash thears to much load that's all nothing to worry about its just the ecu telling you to calm down a bit cus it can't keep up with motor idk my tl is kinda crazy for be stock"

It's the ECU telling you to calm down because it can't keep up with the motor has to be the best explanation for a CEL.

Can't say I've seen as many construction sites elsewhere, but most likely because I haven't lived in TO. Vancouver had a few cranes and shit, but that was in expectation of the Olympics.

Still though, that's amazing. Very sludge, much problem.

stupid means you don't know shit.. no edumacation
dumb means you might have and edumacation.. but your mouth moves before your brain does
numbnuts means you brain is somewhere near your testicle region.. it only gets activated when fapping
ritard means you don't understand the distinctions above

Which one is for your brain moving so fast on so many topics that you miss all the important details and your mouth is so used to moving that it keeps going out of habit and you then appear really dumb?
