Ouch!
but, I, ummm: can't garner much sympathy in this case. 22 over in a work zone (was it a real, active work zone or just a bunch of cones, BTW) is completely uncool.
Dude, your a cop magnet. :huh: Slow down!

Big empty stretch...lots of 90 throughout NYS is coned off for some reason...they only seem to be doing work on about a quarter of it.
Agh, DUMB. Teach me to not zone when doing that drive...
I got popped doing 55 in a 30 workzone. The speed was normally 40, and no one was around. It was 2 in the morning. I told the officer, "I saw the construction sign but noticed no one was here. I've been driving 5 hours to pick up my friend comming home from Santa Cruz at the gray-hound station. He got stuck here and needs a ride home. Then I'll be out of this town for years." All of it was true.
Only warning I've ever got :praise:

You were on an interstate and the limit was 45?
OK, that's pushing it a little.

for me or for the limit?
Wow, it's been a banner week for you, Josh. First you get crushed, then you get nailed. :banghead:
Don't worry too much about it. A ticket isn't as bad as an accident. And since bad things usually come in 2s, you should be done for a while.
What you need to do is get your buddies to take you out for drinks, and buy you alcohol equal in value to the cost of your fine. I joke about doing this with my friends whenever one of them gets popped. You might even go to court to argue for a higher fine in that case..... :lol:
Bad things come in threes.

On the bright side, he got laid yesterday. :clap:

Josh, I'd say getting laid cancels out your ticket. You're doing fine, buddy.... :lol: :ohyeah:
Yeah, but I can get laid for free, tickets cost me moeny!

That concept has gone over Dazzle's head. Poor guy, pays out the ass. :(

Quit trying to kid yourself.
You wanna get laid with a prostitute? Ask "How much?"
You wanna get laid with a girl who isn't a prostitute by trade? Ask "Can I buy you a drink?"

I think it's gone over your head, man. Sex is never free. You pay one way or another.
But as you get older, the balance shifts, and it's the women who have to start paying..... :lol:

Whether it be speeding or sex, one way or another, we pay for the things we enjoy. Never forget that, man. :rockon:

Ever played Grand Theft Auto? After the hooker's done, you get out of the car, pull out your gun and kill her. Then steal your money back!

No. Interesting concept. :lol:
Ever tried it?
:lol: Yes, in Grand Theft Auto! I do it all the time. Usually, the hooker's carrying more than your money, so you make a profit. You get sex, you get to use a gun, and you also make a profit!

I guess that's better than trying that in real life..... :lol:
How about letting a 45-year-old woman pay you for sex?
:wtf:
My parents are 46. Thank you, no.
Would you do it?

I did have an encounter with a woman in her 40s when I was in my 20s. But I didn't get paid for it...

My buddy did that the other day but got coffee and a ride home. That counts as payment, doesn't it? Not a very good wage, but still...

How much did this ticket lighten your wallet by, Josh?
no clue, its gonna be a bundle.
selling the car the next couple of weeks anyways.
greg, youre a dick :lol:

Sweet Kentucky air, I imagine.
I need to find people to try and dump engine parts off with. If you sell the Subie, that will make it a little tougher. I have an idea...Imprezas are rated to tow 1,000 lbs. and Foresters are rated to tow 2-3k, IIRC. Get one of them. :lol:

Plus, since Foresters look completely bland you might be able to fly under the radar a bit more easily! :rockon:
Don't quite know. Whatever is under 2k in my area after mine sells. Hopefully a 96--ish Legacy wagon.
Why do you want to sell?
1. I'm bored with this car.
2. I need more space.
3. This car has lots of little things wrong with it that I don't want to be bothered with.
4. The insurance company totaled my car, cutting me a check for what I bought it for a year+ ago as well as the title so I can sell it myself, so this is the perfect excuse. (Although, I'll believe this when I actually get the check).
So Josh, did you shape up as a result of this ticket, or are you still violating those speed limits?? :lol: [Hopefully the latter].
$285. Shitty, but less than I thought it was gonna be.
Dave, is that a necessary question?

Hah, I'm so old that I can remember when $50 was considered a hefty fine.... :lol:
$285 is a bit of a kick in the nuts, with the severity depending upon the individual's financial situation. It's a lot more to a college student (who can't pass the fine along to daddy) than somebody making more money.
I guess it wasn't a necessary question, Josh. :lol: I know you'll keep speeding as a matter of principle. You can't let the man push you around.... :rockon:

If I could pass my fine along to daddy I'd drive 120 mph everywhere!!!

Hah, that depends on how much crap your dad gives you for getting the ticket.
I always preferred to pay my own fines and hide the whole thing from my parents, rather than get them involved.? It was a lot easier to come up with the money than it was to listen to their haranguing any time I got into some sort of trouble.? :rolleyes:
Not to mention that they would have made me pay my own fine anyway, so it was a lot easier to do it without their knowledge, and without the hassle. When I lived at home and had a ticket pending, I used to rush to get the mail before one of my parents so they wouldn't see the letters coming from the court. I took the same approach whenever I got in trouble in school -- keep them out of it. I guess a lot of parents are 'cooler' than that, and can be told this type of stuff, but not mine. They had zero tolerance.
hehe, the only thing my parents worry about is me becoming an alcoholic.
