Sonny btw who painted your new bumper, was it one of ash's sources?
If so probably same guy did my tails.

They scatter painted on so the light bleeds through very well. Matter a fact i just got pulled over last week, for going 53 in a 50 mph freakin end of the year quota, wth man! Anyways it was a motorcycle cop he didn't trip at all about my tail lights, but did give me a ticket "speeding" for highway street that is common to go 65 my freakin luck ruined my week. My 2nd ticket on this same street and i was careful!

But ya as long as it done right the light is very bright, for backup and turn signal. I can take pics.

53 in a 50? In SoCal?!?!?!? Were you doing 65 and he did you a favor, or did he completely lose his mind? For those that don't know, in SoCal we regularly drive 10 MPH over the limit with the CHP watching.

Maybe it's the rain. It's snowing and sticking at my place - first time since the 1980's.

Nope no favor, was a bright sunny morning, i was leading the pack of cars going no faster then anyone else i just happened to be in the front and he tagged me ...the dude was being an a** came up to my window shows me his radar gun shows me 53.4 mph and im like "oh, sorry yes i know the posted speed limit is 50 mph" and he just continues writing me a ticket, i could not beleive it ..all i say afterwards was "you can't be serious officer is this a joke?" BTW i had my radar jammer off

The CHP wouldn't have even cared its cause this is the LAPD + a motorcycle cop!

99CLK320,
if you have the time and energy, wait until a few days before the court date, call in and reschedule your appearance. show up at the next court date and I bet the arresting officer won't be there. If he isn't, and you plead not guilty, the ticket is thrown out. If he does show up ask the judge for leniency. Why was I singled out? Purely a case of selective enforcement. I was going no faster than any of the cars around me. 3.4 miles over. COME ONE!!!! I've heard of that working before. Is there anyone out there that has tried it?
