The drinking question and because I work in a really rich sort of town and drive a transmission leaking, dog tracking, butt-clenching damned ugly car.

To put it in a more familiar perspective - my beat up crapper is driving down the road next to BMW's, Benzs and Porsches (I've even seen a Lamborghini or two). Of course the guy driving the crappy car must be a crack head!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...............

Man, sorry to hear that.
You need some I love the police stickers, or another car.
I wish I had some great advise for not getting stopped, but I don't.

They probably think you drive round there cause they buy it for more than most! heh.

I'm telling ya, duct tape what looks like a bumper, and spray paint it. People do stuff like that all the time with tail lights (red tape) and missing doors (clear plastic, spray painted to look like it has windows, a door handle, and the same color as the side of the car).

With a plate like that, the drug lord in the Lambo might think you helped pay for his car!
