Yea I only tend to speed or do stupid driving on this one road out in the desert. I'm not putting anyone in danger and there are never cops out there.

I honestly can't believe all your grown ass men are acting like little kids on the playground. It honestly looks sad when I come in here and watch you guys fight over the same thing for 10+ pages. Let people believe what they want and MOVE ON.

Yup! I like your recent comment on how you said that some people just cant appreciate with what they have. And with that said thats why those who are materialistic do not appreciate with what they have, will be debt slaves for the rest of their lives. But from this bickering that is going on, I see things happen a lot in the gun culture. Many fanboys tend to get upset when they are factually wrong and then they bicker by trying to justify and protect their purchases even though they have a horrible weapons system.
 
 

Hey Rush have you thought about some AEM brakes or Wilwoods? By the way you should take your CATs out so you can annoy more people on the road and have even a sexier growl.

How much more is necessary to get the car back into shape?  Are you still driving it?  Did you add it to the policy yet, as you may have to show it fixed before you do?

I'm not 100% Sure how much it's going to cost me overall, Yes, I'm currently driving it. I just got a no insurance ticket last night (They stopped me to check my tags, Which they also gave me a ticket for not having any even though I told them I just bought the car, They said it shows that they were issued already)
 
I'll go get it fixed. I can't add it to the policy because they want pictures of the car.

Darn Rush, you gotta stop getting tickets. Put the car in the garage. If you do not, you'll continue to take money that could go toward the car and give it to the city. I like my money too much. I had a bunch of tickets over the years. I got tired of the higher insurance and in giving my money to whatever city was ticketing me, so I slowed down. I got two here lately being inpatient and running late to a golf tee time (of all freaking things) and hated to spend that money. Even had to do the freaking defensive driving on-line course. What a joke that was.

I have a feeling it won't be his last ticket this year. He needs to park it until it's fixed, tagged and has full coverage on it. I bet he will be looking at new rear tires within a month.

Guys, since we have been discussing brakes and stuff, what's the best way to brake at high speeds? Holding the brake pedal at a fixed position, or applying heavily and letting up as you slow down? I'm trying not to destroy my new brakes but, some advice would be nice.

If you're trying to brake in an emergency, Why would you let off the brakes?
 
Holding them. Even if that means they get hot, Releasing them and pressing them again is the last thing that'll be on your mind.

Depends of your brakes.  If they are ABS (anti locking brakes) then you mash them or hold them steady.  If you have older brakes, then you pump them.   The force you use in either situation depends on the amount of distance you have to stop.  Shorter distance, the more pressure.

My McLaren will smoke anyone on here who hasn't posted 1/4 times. Why? Because it's just as hypothetical. Lol.

There, now that that's over, Rush, how are the repairs/insurance battles coming? I saw the other ticket post, that sucks. Any chance of fighting it?

Insurance declined it, But tomorrow I pick up the parts (Hopefully) and By next week the car should be ready.
 
That same day, Earlier I received the letter of denial of coverage, So I'm taking it with me to court to see if I can get the no proof of insurance dropped, The plates one is a smack to myself though, I told him I just bought the car, So maybe they just barely mailed them in... He even saw I had the permit on the windshield, But he still gave me the ticket for that. -_-.
 
He did however save me from losing my license, He talked to me about how he heard me coming fast (Loud exhaust) I told him the exhaust is just loud, But he was still going to give me a ticket for speeding through a "Guesstimate of +10 MPH over the speed limit) and I told him "Thanks, Over a guesstimate I just lost my license" and he ended up just giving me a warning for that (I wasn't speeding. I told him I learned my lesson the time I ran from the cops, Which he asked me about 'cause it shows up lol)

 
How is your car not on insurance now? Driving a car without insurance well get you're license revoke. Showing up with proof you didn't have insurance because of the denial letter will prove even more you knew you were driving without insurance.

It says in the denial letter that they are covering the other person, But not me. That's like if I had liability, which is enough in the state of California.
 
The only reason it's mandatory is because the bank owns it and requires it.

Did your car have insurance at the time you were stopped? Does your car currently have insurance right now?

My car is not in my policy at the moment, I am not driving it anymore for a bit, until the parts get here and I can fix it.
 
The policy is however still active and offers coverage to the other party, As stated before.

Man, I had some clown on the other street thinking I was coming too fast around a corner from a stop with my factory exhaust.  Dude seriously jumped out of his car and waved his hands around like he was flagging me down. I was doing about 28 in a 25 zone.  Most people in my area do 30 in 25 zones, I try to keep it under 30 and I stop for cats, kids, etc all the time.
 
How can he ticket you for anything, I thought you said the other driver was at fault. Also if you don't have plates yet, you can't get a ticket for that, that would be stupid.  It takes some time to get plates shipped to you.  Shoot, even the Jaguar down the street from me has been around for a while now and doesn't have plates yet.  He has to show proof that you were speeding too.  If he doesn't have a print out from radar / laser, then I don't see how he can actually expect you to be liable for a speeding ticket.  Last time I got pulled over and the police said I was speeding, I looked at him and said "huh?".  I didn't get a ticket.

The funny part is, I was coming from a street that was going towards the main street, There's a barrier between the main street and that street, separated by another street... I was heading TOWARDS them while they were
          *Cop* facing >>>>

So how are they able to guesstimate my speed like THAT? in the middle of the night, With my headlights on and everything, Like they can tell how fast the light is travelling? or wth?

Well in order for police to get a reading how fast your going from radar(K and KA band) or laser they have to scan the front or the back of your car. So apparently from your diagram you were facing the police car so maybe thats how they got a reading? But then again you can argue that the idiot officer said guesstimating so that in itself defeats his whole purpose of prosecution legitimacy against you for speeding.

If you have ABS, you're suppose to just hold the brake down and the computer system will take care of the rest for you.  You let up as you slow down if you know you aren't in danger of colliding with anything anyway.   Your best bet is to avoid having to do this at high speeds because yes, if you hold it down hard your car will screech and slide.  The ABS should help but the physics of rubber contacting pavement isn't exactly controlled 100% by the ABS system in a car.
 
My project car doesn't have ABS and if I come to a stop too quickly, the car will just sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide.  Sounds fun?  Well, it isn't.  It is cool though as long as there isn't cross traffic.  You just don't know if the car is really going to stop sliding without the ABS.

That means he did not actually have a visual on you and a cop can not isn't supposed to write you a ticket if he did not see you break the law.

 
Fixed. 


They are NOT supposed to, But that does not stop them.
 
That's completely true, However LAPD messes with you if they see something they don't like. *Cough* like hanging out with people who usually do bad things *Cough* you know, Because they can't touch those people, They mess with us. (I'm not saying I don't do my fair share, Because I obviously do, But they still mess with me a lot over nothing... I get dirty looks just driving around)

Some cops will mess with you if anyone in a group you hang out with causes them to do extra work. I received a $65 ticket for not turning on my headlights while backing out a friends driveway after 2am. Soon as i was facing away from neighbors windows, i turned my headlights on (i only had my parking lights on). Prick cops just wanted to get me from something to send a message.  (this was years ago)
 
 I think that is why i get a kick out of watching cop block type videos on youtube.

Nah, I only own Mustangs! =P
 



 
 
Then there was this one, But.... Idk what I was thinking, Although I did like it.
