You mean the land of "Vote early, Vote often and Vote Twice!!" Problem is , NOT the statute says they can Take your car!! Just hope it has a lien on it and no municipality will want it!!

But they put the speeding ticket on my record!
Do you have a stunningly beautiful blonde wife that drives your C63 and do you live in the Glen Ellyn/Wheaton area? I have run into a beautiful blonde that drives a white C63 on Roosevelt rd and North Ave several times. It was really cute until she tried to race me.

Roosevelt Road and 355 west bound, ran from the stoplight up to about 85 mph. I wouldn't normally race in a location like that but we were front row and I could see her brake stalling and heard her engine rpm pick up, I was like is she gonna race me? Before I could start my brake stall the light turns green and she was spinning her tires slightly she had me through the intersection but then it was over, as I passed her I noticed the suprised look on her face. Short but sweet, if you ever see her in the area be sure to admire her. Sombody has a good catch, hot, good taste in cars and not affraid of a stoplight to stoplight fight. I've seen her in that area several times, my fiance lives over there. I'm just curious if she has a winter car, if not I hope she has snow tires for the C63.

I think the way they charged for fines there depends on how much you make and the infraction, I remember reading that somewhere.
