I am a full time Aeronautics engineer and not doing this to make money; it's only to cover cost and give us all a break from shipping cost of low volume orders.

yeah, we took her car to plano for the weekend. In plano it didnt hail, so her's is fine. I'm just soo pissed cause i know if they fix the car, it just wont be right, either there will still be some small dents or the whole inside of the car will be creaky and loose, cause they will have to take apart the inside roof to do the roof. I would rather they total it and give me money hehe, but even if i had the option which i dont think i will, i wouldnt know what car to get.
Oh well
Oh well

GOod body shop..
Think it might be called Texas Something or other..
It is located in Addison, On Midway Road.. South of Trinity Mills on the west side, just south of Sonic. They did an awesome job on my Del Sol, Replaced the windshield, front fenders, bumper, lights, hood. Insurance didn't total it out, but when I got it back, it was like new. Even gave a warranty on the paint and finish. It drove straight, haven't had any problems with it in 3 years since it was wrecked. When I was there they had Lexus, Mercedes, and all sorts of nice cars there.
And Deeyamm, I just got the Mother Load ticket. 76 in a 45.. Ughhhhh. Was just spooling it up on a "what I thought was remote" section of Plano.. And whammooooo.. Major ticket.
Going to try and get Deffered Adjudication. 76!? Only felt like I was going 50..

Whoa, i havent checked these forums since our last meet.. speaking of which, when is the next one?
for some reason, the forums stopped sending me email updates, so i didnt check, but it emailed me today outta nowhere, and now i've got 14 pages to catch up on. whohoo, we beat that sacramento thread!
my last ticket was 66 in a 35, on the service road of 75, going north right past campbell.. it was a construction zone, so they lowered it from 45 to 35, and boy was i shocked.. this was back when i had my camry.. 4cyl!!
i also got a lame 72 in a 60 ticket just 6 months before that (i thought they were pretty lenient for 10 over.. i wasnt that far off!)
well, first thing i did when i got the TL, ordered that valentine!! felt like i sure needed it.. doubled my hp from 136--> 260 so far so good, no tickets with the valentine (knock on wood)
well worth it in my opinion.. why skimp on a detector.. if you get 2 tickets, its covered already.. and people who get the passport8500 instead of the valentine: why skimp on 100$ when you're buying a high end detector for 300 anyways? the arrows rule!
you read stories about how good the valentine is and stuff, but i've got a story of my own: my friend and i were driving on aveK (plano rd) going south on the stretch between renner and campbell. we're driving side by side, going 55 (i think limit is 40, but nobody goes that slow) and we both catch a Ka signal.. it gets stronger so we slow to 40, and sure enough, we soon see a cop going in the other direction. as the cop passes, my arrow changes from forward to back, but then the counter changed to 2 intsead of 1, and the forward arrow came back on. my friend speeds up to 50 again, but i'm kinda skeptical. soon, we see a 2nd cop pass us, going the other direction, and i see him slamming on his brakes. luckily he didnt get a ticket, because i'm guessing the cop just wasnt out to catch people, but the point is, his radar didnt have a counter, nor the arrows, and that REALLY helps. he just assumed the signal he was catching was from the first cop that had already passed. i've always read stores on valentine's page, but i thought this was cool, this stuff really happens. i'm totally sold on the valentine.. i will never buy any detector without arrows and a counter
like i said earlier, there's no reason to skimp on a detector, its definitely worth it to get TOP OF THE LINE, not the 2nd ring down
ok, thats my advertisement of the day... sorry if i went off into nowhere haha

Alright ladies, just in case anyone is remotely interested in heading to Ennis Friday April 12th. We're meeting at Walnut Hill on I35E at the Texaco (right next to Speed Zone at 7:00 pm).
Gates open @ 8, I expect it will take about 1-1.5 hrs to get down there.

DAMN guys, if DuckBlue hadn't told me about this thread, i wouldn't have checked it. He just told me that all of the sudden it was like up to 30+ pages. It's been since that last meet since i've even looked. Which was a cold and dreary day I might add.
Oh well, i've read the 14 pages that I missed and the TL forums are slowly but surely going away unfortunately, so I need to keep in touch with my dallas ppl. Sounds like you've all had fun with mods, and can't wait to see those 19's when you get them mantis. Unfortunately I can go to the track tonight due to the fact that I have to get up early to go to Waco for a billiards tournament early. If I didn't have to, i'd SOOOOO be there.
Oh well, hope yall have fun tonite and I pray for good numbers.
