Lately I've been asking for money for the upgrades to my car.

I finally have one to be proud of.
1998 Monte Carlo Z34 with the racing package. Same engine in the Indy pace car. They upped my insurance by $500 a year after I got it. *sniff* Bastards. Like they expect I'll speed or something.
It's not speeding if you can't read the speed limit sign because it's just a blur out your passenger window.

Speeding tickets suck. And cops apparently don't like (was a teen when I got the tickets) teenagers in mustangs. I actually got 1 when I had my radar detector after leaving the track. I forgot to plug the damn thing back in... Always remember, there's no law that says you can't floor it and level out exactly at the speed limit. Unless you burn out and it skids all over the place and you are in a school zone and a cops right there...
So... I currently hate these towns:
Edgewood (I hate them sooo much)
Greenville (My home address. Only ticket I couldn't get dismissed)
Seven Points (was coming back from the track, swerved around a cow, and forgot to plug in my radar detector)
And of course, the TUPD. (bastards ticket my car every chance they get. Like $30k a year isn't enough)

I drive down the A77 to work every day. a road that is notorious for fuckwad drivers and unpleasant squishy death.

stewart wallace, a friend and workmate of mine, was in this crash. he was driving too fast. now, when i see him in the next life, im going to boot him in the crotch.
you cannot BEGIN to comprehend my contempt for people that drive dangerously. Particularly people that drive right up your arse.

a speeding ticket in the UK is between 3-6 penalty points, i think they tend to lean towards the high end, so you would have hit the 12 point limit and been disqualified (if they were within a three year period i believe)

Geez... what do they build cars out of other there? Cardboard? At least when you have an accident over in the US you can still die, but the car stays in one piece most times.

You know, the article doesn't say they were speeding. Perhaps the cars just got angry and turned on their passengers?

Get in the car.
That's right...
Now push in the clutch, and put it in first...
Yes, yes...
*cuts seatbelt in half with a knife*
Now, you shall drive recklessly through rush hour traffic with the radio on full blast, and all your windows open; and you shall sing old Beach Boys and Beatles songs at the top of your voice.

Nope. Pleather. But they were tight and form-fitting. And it wasn't a joke.
The good news was, I didn't look TOO awkward for the one day I was coaxed into wearing 'em at school.
I think I wore them on a dare. I forget.

Maybe the cars committed suicide! And took their evil masters with them!

Every year for Christmas, Michelle's father gives her and her siblings toys from McDonald's and Burger King that have been piling up in his car for the past year.
Other than that, we're usually pretty easily amused. Especially when it comes to people giving us free stuff.

There are actually different crash test requirements for non-us cars. Thats why its so damn hard to get a Nissan Skyline (*likes R32's*) here... you have to put in braces and all kinds of crap to get it up to spec. But that wreck was most likely due SADS, Severe Acute Dumbass Syndrome. One or both of them must have srewed up big time to get those cars torn up like that, especially considering there wasn't as suv involved. *hates suv's*

We lost a classmate last year to speeding. His friends, close friends, and him were all speed freaks, but they were so carefull after that...for about 3 months. Cause after a few months, they were chasing down the road, ironically even the same road that took him.
It's amazing how quickly people forget...

Lucky for you. My school has pictures of me cross dressing for the homecoming pep-rally... Not my proudest moment. At least there aren't any pictures of me from spring break.

Some of these clueless gifts sound like the kind of things I could use. We should set up some kind of trading website where people can exchange their unwanted gifts for other people's unwanted gifts. We'd be bigger than Ebay.
... Okay, maybe not.
