Road Trip

Just got home from a 1300 mile round trip to Nebraska to pick up a body tub for the CJ-7 my 66 SB never missed a beat The guys at shell valley fiberglasswent out of there way to get me set up dont you love it when things fall into place. I love the looks on the New Dudge and Chabby drivers faces when this old F-100 blows by em. Still I wish id Had those sway bars on . Hey is it true that you can get tickets in the mail after the fact?

Yes. But the trick is, you do like my brother-in-law does, and pay them 1 penny more than what the fine is for. That tends to through a wrench into their bookwork.

Sorry, it's BS, send them all the extra money you have laying around if you want to, they will keep it. This has been going around for years.

Some states make you fill out forms to get the change back.

One more tid-bit I found out.... The Overdrive in you're tranny has a transmitter that sends a signal to the cop with radar. Those picture takin speed traps have the same receiver also and can lock on your vehicles particular signal and you'll still get the ticket, even if you use those Plate Blockers.
Some car rental agencies have been using them in the past few years to be able to charge you more for the rental of the vehicle, becuase it records the highest speed you reached, and the average mileage you went. It's in the ______ print! Good luck guys.. DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!!
