Whoooops. Sorry 'bout that rant. I'll step down from the soap box now.
Funny thing is since I've bought this new car the girlfriend and I take joy rides all the time.. I accidentally ran a stoplight today being distracted by a joke she was telling me and netted a fresh crisp ticket. That's the first one since 2005. No worries though, I coasted through traffic without causing a scene. Good thing I know the judge and I like community service.
