There are a few people on here who knew Mike McSpadden aka Muley. There is a cool little blurb on page 44 of Diesel Power this month about him and his truck.

Hear him say "This is my audition for Channel Eight", then completely loses it when the vehicle pops?

I suspect the News Director at Channel Eight just laughed and laughed at his basically-worthless video.....

If you've got 15 minutes to kill this is recommended listening:

Today I decided to man up to my mistake and take responsibility for my speeding ticket. I hope the state will enjoy my $513. I didnt really need it anyway.

I took traffic school online too. Its basically a drivers training refresher course. It took about 2 hours because it had minimum time timers, that decided I needed to read pages longer. Apparently the average Californian reads very slowly. I watched Ice Road Truckers after reading pages and waiting for the timer to expire.

West Covina I-10.
Clocked at 82mph
Posted was 65mph

Traffic was flowing much higher that the posted limit. I was in a vehicle that was unfamiliar to me and I was aware that I kept unintentionally speeding because I wasnt used to the vehicle and was using traffic to gauge my speed (not a legal argument I know, just an explanation). Traffic was doing at least 75. Probably 80. I saw the officer with his radar gun pointed at me and I saw him put it away and he locked eyes on us as we drove by. I knew he was after me.



I told everyone in the car "I just got a speeding ticket" it was funny at first because everyone said "Really? Why? You wernt speeding faster than anyone else."

I pulled over in a safe manner, was polite, honest, and straight forward. Even shook the officers hand afterwords, he is after all just doing his job, and I knew I was going faster than the posted limit.

Also, I didnt have my license on me at the time
I was wearing special Paintball jersey pants and when I had changed into them from my jeans I forgot to get my wallet.

Yes sir. Thats the total with my fine for not having a license on me. Total ticket was about $150, the rest from "assessed fees."

Criminally high, isn't it? Total costs tend to be about 3 times the actual fine for the infraction. They just keep adding more fees and court costs. People are getting very pissed off.

That's more than the cost of a V1.
