Are you high?

 

Keeping my fingers crossed

 

I make my fiancée drive in so cal. I can't handle it

It's nerve wracking

 

I have a friend...who currently lives down here, that owns a condo in Oakland...Been up there a couple times and he is a real nice area next to water. Lots of bars/shopping/farmers market in walking. Eastbay I think.

 

East Bay is nice. I've only driven through Oakland on the 880 I think. I've never stopped there.

I'd honestly be happy where ever they put me for the first year. After that, I bid for my top three choices which will probably be along the central coast.

 

CHP looks at your vehicle for violations? Interesting, you learn something new every day.

 

That's what the lead recruiter/background investigator said during orientation. He pointed out a "murdered out" Challeneger and made an example out of it.

He said no tint of any kind whatsoever.

But I think that's bull. I'm leaving the rear. I didn't pay 300 less than a year ago and then take it all off.

 

OP, you need to update your custom user title.

 

I didn't even notice the MS3 was still there

 

locomexican

 

That's rough. When I went through backgrounds all I did was give them a copy of my registration and insurance for both of my cars to validate they were current and that was it.

 

I slapped on my front plate yesterday before my drive to SF. On the way home, I hear a clunk, and felt a bump, so I pulled off in Dublin, and thankfully, it was still there.

Shits already driving me nuts

 

Oh, and I rolled 17k yesterday

 

So did Golden Gate actually inspect your car?

 

If by Golden Gate, you mean the CHP, no.

This was a quick leisure day trip.

 

So what's next PHQ then backgrounds? Once you pass backgrounds then panel interview?

 

It's panel interview, then background.

I heard they mindfuck you with the interview.

 

Youtube some oral board questions. You'll be fine.

 

My buddy just interviewed. He thinks he got DQ'ed and will need to reapply during the next phase.

He said he couldn't talk about it. All he said was that it was a total mind fuck

 

You'll love the scenario questions

 

Where is the shopping cart picture??

 

I'll upload it right now

 

This happened when I left work the other day

Oh and I feel your pain on backing into stuff with a backup camera. I've done it twice now. First time was the dog kennel and the most recent was a step stool. Also that 526 mile range is NUTS. The most I've seen on my car is 355 but I do a lot of city driving so it's usually right around 300-310 when I fill up but I've got a long trip planned in a month or so and I'd love to see 400+.

 

The range drops once I get moving. Best I've done with mixed driving is 430 miles. I've yet to go on a long, all highway trip

 

Wow yet another car mishap. You need some kind of intervention sir.

Good luck on your oral interview. I bowed out right before taking mine because I found a job in my major. I was nervous about it too lol.

 

Bryan needs a driver or a bicycle. He will probably end up becoming a better driver after he drives the crown Vic for a while.

 

I haven't went all freeway in mine either, maybe next week I will.

 

Just did a quick 80% highway trip with hills. Averaged 36.7 with a distance of 380 miles.i was 15 to empty.

Oh, and I think that cart may have hit the passenger door and rolled to the back of the car.theres a quarter sized dent that a friend had pointed out.

 

18k

I'll really hit the 20k/year mark no problem. 4/30 will be a year with the car.

Oh, and I hit 41.6 mpg on the way home from the coast today. It was a 155 mile drive and I still have a range of 370ish. I was doing 10-15 over the whole time except when traffic slowed to 55

 

Here's a pic of said dent

But hey, that's why I bought a Honda. So I don't have to worry about little shit. Once I get on with CHP, this will be the primary commuter car.

 

The race to 20k before the 30th is on

 

Your at 18 and some change right?


I think you can do it. If you go to the coast a couple more times, which Im sure you will.

 

If you really wanted to, you could probably get that fixed for pretty cheap. PDR.

 

Kev, I'm at 195xx I think.

and I thinking my dad's buddy does PDR. Theres another dent right under my gas cap from dropping my mountain bike. I'm not sure if they can take that one out. I'll snap a pic of that one in a bit.

 

Shit you will hit 20k by Monday.

 

It happened this morning on the way home from the coast

Congrat on your new Civic. It looks very nice

 

Yesterday was a year with the car. Just a tad over 21k now..

 

Did you get someone to check out those dents?
