Yeah, that 60/40 thing sucks. It's addicting, but I either need to get a police scanner or just don't speed at all. I've gotten two tickets this year so far both at 6 in the morning. What luck I have lol. $310.00 bucks worth :( I think the police scanner is worth it.

You know you're going too fast when....

People think you have a loud exhaust, but that's actually your car breaking the sound barrier.

You tell the cops, "You mean this ISN'T the Bonneville Salt Flats? I must have taken a wrong turn!"

You can rev your engine and watch your gas gauge drop.

Your passengers must be aware of the emergency escape procedures (I've actually done this) given during the safety briefing.

02-16-2006, 10:39 PM

When you are late out of bed and still have to burn a musical disk for your aunts funeral. (while getting formally dressed) Complications with the music creation process and traffic disfunction lead to extreme stress. I lost focus on reality at the Latouche and Benson light. (while in route from Turnagain to Muldoon)

I shot away real WRX like, still hauling around the corner and into the 8:15 am sun. I didn't see officer Stieding on his beamer bike until I was slowing back through the 50's.
(he had just arrived at princeton minutes earlier)
He lasered me twice by then and gave me 69 mph, or 29 over the limit. 6 points, $360 fine ect, ect.

A bad day all about relearning the art of descression.

I'm suprised ours haven't complained yet. I've got a modified wrx with a really loud exhaust and my roomate has a modified sti with a loud exhaust too. Lots of half to one million dollar houses nearby (not mine). Plenty of dirty looks though. Maybe they're meeting secretly.

Please be careful in neighborhoods. A two year old playing with Daddy can run out from behind a parked car before you have time to react. I keep it to a respectable 20mph in my neighborhood.

...but back to the point....

99 Forester + GOVERNOR = 112.5 mph. It lets me know every time. :banana:

even if i go 10mph my neighbors get mad ..because of exhaust being loud (maybe not that loud compared to people on here) but to them its loud and they thing its that loud because im like speeding or sumtin.. had people complain before..
