hah that's awesome! I like how they called your Z's color : MEDIUM.

medium what???!?!

you should shave, and go bald, and workout hardcore before your Court date, and go "Yo that wasn't me."

Crucial . . . .

Those camera cops were removed for a while around here following up someone's fight against them saying they were using them to unlawfully prosecute people. Just sent the ticket to the registered owner without finding out who the driver at the time was. BUT that's over now and those camera cops are back in full now but they give off so much K band signal i know they are there from a mile away


happy birthday

Here in Oakland, Berkely, Emeryville, SF . . . all over. Gotta watch out. Get a radar detector or some reflective plate covers or both. Maybe even polarize your windshield so they cant even see your face! Shoot, with that honda I would be wearing a fake beard and mustache all the time regardless of cameras or cops alike . . .wouldnt catch me driving that yucket

You know what I mean . . . .that honda is something to be ashamed of. In your case just wear a rasta hat and some huge sunglasses.

I'm terribly ashamed with my 38 mpg...

It costs me $32 to fill up and it lasts for 10 days!

How's that Z running?

I'll put a scarlet H on my chest and wear it all the way to the bank!

As you should be.

It costs me 50 bucks to fill up and I can drive to Santa Barbra ( 330 odd miles ) with a little less than half a tank left

Shes running like a champ. Hows it feel to drive that ZXT? Or have you forgotten since its been in the shop for almost a year . . .

You should drive through the burbs of Oakland wearing a huge gold chain and huge clothes with a fake gold "grill" in your riced out 38mpg grocery getting honda

I get the same MPG in my little 1990 240SX, and people RESPECT that thing!

Everyone I know with a 240SX gets more around 28mpg, not 38. That's nearly impossible with a 2.4L engine unless you're going downhill all the time.

ok so not 38, but I still only have to fill up around once every week and a half. Maybe I don't drive as many miles as lww, but the money spent in gas is the same...

If you get less than 38mpg then how can you spend the same on gas if the price per gallon is a constant?

It must be that 'New Math' they're talking about using in schools now.

dang Carl that sux, gonna be a hard one to fight since you've got Carls Z right on the license plate, and thats actually a pretty good mug shot they got of you

you should know that the cameras mounted at intersections work off of magnetic sensors under the pavement, not conventional radar like those vans. i would say get a polarized plate cover, but last year i got a ticket from one of those where they got a pretty clear picture of my plate despite the fact that i had one, so i don't know what to say other than suggesting that you slow down a little

new math? I hope not.. I'm talking 5th grade level here:

LWW drives 50 miles per day. DynamicJ drives 20 miles per day. (just guessing)

Gas is 3.00 per gallon (guessing again)

LWW uses more gas than DynamicJ, however DynamicJ drives his car less than LWW. In the end, it must add it, due to us both spending the same amount of money per 10 days in gas..
