Ticketed.....
« on: July 14, 2009, 03:16:34 am »
For being awesome!

Not really...... 118 in a 100, no front bumper, two headlights out, one rear tail light out, no new driver sign displayed.

Drove away with a fix-it-ticket and only a citation for not displaying a new driver sign.

Ticket - 109 dollars

Fix it ticket - 15 minutes worth of work

Driving away without a speeding ticket - Priceless!

I love when I get pulled over, "drivers side tail light out" when it's just so sooty you can't see it.

I've had to clean my liscense place because of that..  Unfortunatley we son;t get any sort of paperwork around here to back up that it's supposed to smoke like that..  I just sign my name to the little card saying it was inspected..  I'm surprised they been letting me go on that...

Well, chances are rare getting a speeding ticket in an NA 89 Jetta... ;D ;D

However, one day driving into work, I take the scenic route through Jones Beach State Park, and a State Trooper gets me for a cracked (big crack) windshield. 

Told her I was getting it replaced in a week (TRUE!!!), and she then asked me why I drove a hunk of crap.

Her eyes lit up like headlights when I told her I got 40-50+ mpg depending how I drove..

Showed here the non slacking seat belt, and why I couldn't wear it.

She got a chuckle out of it, and let me go.

This was before the new rims,tires, interior and other things done since then. Will be Canada bound shortly for a new engine, head and exhaust mods, carpet, a/c work (Tyler's pal), and my IP 'Gilesfied'. 

Tyler is hooking me up big time. With a little help from Bryson.

Guys at my firehouse ask me why I keep an 'old clunker'. 

Guess ya gotta love VW's to understand why.

That and rising fuel prices.  They won't stay at these prices forever. JMO.

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy

LOLOL. I will let you know about this after Tyler does my car and the IP is "Gilesfied".

Then maybe an NA 1.6 can get a ticket on an uphill climb...... We will see. lol

School Zone?

My td mutant engine can easily get speeding tickets. it will get to 140 (kmh) damn quick. But any faster it really struggles...
In fact, before i did any work at all it would go 180 on a long straight away now it wont go over 150... any ideas? Up to 180 its about 3 times faster though.

Driving away without a speeding ticket - Priceless!


I'm thinking you're lucky this was Clearwater and not Valemont... Mounties from the Valemont detachment have no sense of humor at all. ;)

That, also coupled with the fact that she has pulled me over several times before whilst I was driving friends home drunk... and no prior offenses on record.

67mph in a 55mph up a small mountain...  It's all a straight shot so I got a good run and kept it going..  This was in a slightly molested MK1 though..   A bit less weight to get movin than a MK2...

I was pulled over because my plate has a T instead of a date sticker, friggin cop didn't even know it was the new temp sticker. 40 minutes of time on the side of the highway. I asked the cop for his card so I could get my counselor to call and confirm he had indeed made me late to sign my paperwork for my new apprentice card.
