they are a pretty advanced joint iirc, i believe they perfected the "rifled long neck" on the miller lite bottles. swirls and swivels in mass produced glass aren't simple to reproduce millions of times. i'd call it an accomplishment.

Know what I hate? Effin construction zone speedin tickets. I got popped a couple of weeks ago going 36 in a 25, at 1:30 in the morning, when there were NO workers present. I was behind a Lexus, there was a minivan behind me, and one cop pulled all three of us over. The Lexus ran. They chased him down. Anyway, I just called to find out how much it was going to be, and the grand total is $175. I've only got $120 to my wallet. Time to start gathering up all my change...

It seems to me that you wouldn't be in this situation had you obeyed the law.

You're right, I wouldn't be, and the fault is my own. But it's something to hate nonetheless.

At least you are mature enough to own up to your mistake. I can respect that.

Yeah, because going 10 over at 130 morning is such a hazzard.

Most States are broke. I have been hearing about a lot of speeding tickets being written for five over on a lonesome rural highway. It's all about the money.

illinois is an automatic $375 fine in any work zone, and they just happen to be doing a lot of construction by me too. i drive like an old lady though, never was much of a speeder.


ironically enough the only speeding ticket i've ever got was in the slowest vehicle i ever owned, my old I6 e350. i flatfooted it around a curve to see what it had like a fool when i was like 17. cop was sitting behind a power station and caught me for 45 in a 30 as i was slowing down.

Boy I'm glad my state isn't broke.......


Usually can do 5 over here with out a issue. Hell, even get passed by HPs sometimes at that speed.


I can't even remember last speeding ticket I got. Most of the times I've been pulled over is because of loud pipes, or "obstructed license plate"
