Sorry to hear that. Unless the cop doesn't show up in court, otherwise it will be your story against the cop's story, and the judge will very likely go for the cop's story.

Good luck.

that is good news. i'm glad it was 2 days and not 30 days as the impound fee per day is like 80 bucks.

so 160 ish for impound fee is actually small.

we all gotta drive careful guys.

Hey Chewi,

I called Jason last week in regards to looking into pricing for an Optima battery and it has been over a week now and he still hasn't called back...LOL!!! Maybe he is too busy during this time of year.

Hi Ed,

I guess he might have forgotten.
He is the only guy that works there so he might have overlooked it.

Maybe give him a call once more just to remind him.

btw... have you considered just buying a batter from costco?

they have like a 10 year warranty

Thanks guys but its ok because I was so desperate for a battery I went back to Acura to buy one. NorthShore Acura sold me their OEM battery for $120 (5yr warranty) vs $160 at Burrard Acura. Don't go to Burrard Acura...such a rip off!!! I will eat my words as the OEM battery sucks ass but I had no choice since my battery was completely dead and I needed one ASAP since I rely on my car everday...LOL!!!

I went to West Coast Alignment on Powell and Salsbury Drive and they did a very good job for my car. They are lowered friendly too so that would be perfect for most of the guys here!!

if you were gonna get another stock battery you should have bought one of those battery chargers from canadian tire for like 60 to 70 bucks or so and just charge your old one thats what i did lol my battery dies all the time from my system

It is much better to buy batteries from Canadian Tire. If you buy from them and your battery craps out, you simply bring it back to them to swap for a new one or buy another one pro-rated, depending on how long you have used the battery.

The best part is that Canadian Tire stores are virtually everywhere and open 7 days a week.

so i went to court 2day for the speeding ticket and window tint tickets, the cop had physical evidence on me and i had nuttin he had the radar 81/50km zone, judge gave me a 3 months drving prohibition and reduced the window tint ticket to 10$ from 109$ and the speeding ticket from 196$ to 150$, sucks tht i lost it tho, anyways after the judge gave me 3 month driving suspension will ICBC add on to that prohibition or was it the judges final call?
