I've had this huge stress "What do I do if I lose my license?"
That weight has been lifted....
I do currently have 6 points on my license, The ticket I received on 12/14/14 was worth 4 more points... So that'd be 10 points total and that would mean license suspension.
Fortunately, I just came back from court and the officer didn't show up, So the case was dismissed. I feel so good right now. I've been driving carefully and even got my MPG to rise lmao! I'm garaging the S550 for a while, I'm about to go buy a nice little 4 cyl car from the 90's, Something that won't catch attention...
I don't see the point of driving my loud car to work and back 6 days a week, risking getting stopped! So not only am I getting a car that won't get much attention, But I'm also getting a little 4 cylinder gas saver for a daily =P no more $60 fill ups every 2-3 days.
I'm looking for a 1995 Nissan 240SX, But I'll settle for any little 4 cyl =P About to go browse around.

I'm trying to build a new set up for my room, I'm going to get a 70" TV and get a whole racing set up, Pedals, Steering wheel, Comfortable desk chair and all that great stuff, I'm going to get into racing games and drifting in-game... I know it won't be the same, But I've always enjoyed that. lol. JayCPC

Long as the car is dependable, has AC, who cares how many cylinders it has. Just make sure you get insurance on it.

Get an unmolested 92-95 Honda civic VX. 45-50mpg, doesn't look to bad either. Make sure it has the D15Z1 engine, otherwise no good mpg's. A 97-99 Civic HX isn't bad either. Around town probably 38-40, and it's still a pretty peppy car. There are a ton of cheap ones on Craigslist.

Depending on how you drive, the geo metro isn't for everyone. The civic VX can best the metro in some areas, and isn't a complete dog in city driving with A/C.

back in like 2012 (I think, can't remember), I was driving on a local road which consisted of that "suicide lane" which divided oncoming traffic. this guy in front of me was driving too slow, so I sped up, passed him at a traffic intersection where the light was red. Long and behold there was actually a cop at the cross traffic, which witnessed the entire thing. As I passed the light, not even 3 blocks later, obviously he pulled me over. The ticket ended up being around $320+, not including a letter from the BMV requiring me to retake the driving test, online. I have no idea how many points that put on my license, but i'll tell you, I will never do that again. The odds of the cop being there when I did that was very very low, + it was at 5 something in the morning. was crazy!! Basically, you never know when a cop is going to turn around watching what you're doing.....

I want this one :  He's asking $4,600 for it, Not too far from my house, I sent an e-mail asking some questions about it. Max I'm willing to spend on it is around $3,500, Depends, If the interior is good as well, I might go a little higher...

YOu would be surprised at the actual insurance costs for a geo metro. considering the size of the car, the liability and the chances of you actually getting hurt in a metro are really high., which is going to make the insurance rate a "little" higher.

I would take it as a blessing it was dismissed. Taking the bus would suck. Make the most of this, grow a little from it. I would suggest trying out Project CARS if you want to race online. There is a thread in the gaming section about it. It's not going to do any good if you get all hyped up from racing games and want to got out o the streets. If it's a good outlet, then good. Good luck! :)

Thats what I am saying I would hate taking a bus or some kind of public transportation. Well if he did get is licenses taken away he can always get one of those pedal bikes that can switch to a electronic motor that goes 35mph. The bright side in riding a bike to work is you dont have to pay for fuel but your stomach, no insurance, no state inspection/registration, no licenses renewal, no auto maintenance, no expensive auto repairs, and you wont be a fat slob anymore because you would be in shape with all that pedaling.

Whenever you're down in Los Angeles, I'm down to hang out with you... You can tell me everything you don't like about me then. You're the definition of a hater, Can't see others doing good, Maybe I'm doing better than you and that's why you're mad... Do you hate your life?

A 240SX is going to get you just as much attention as your mustang. I highly suggest going with a 4 door sedan, something like a Corolla, Civic, Spectra, Elantra or Altima. They can be had for like $2,000 in pretty decent condition and they also get pretty good gas mileage.

The guy hasn't replied to me, I just came up to a pretty nice 1995 MB C220 (2.2L 4 Cyl, 22MPG combined) for $1,500 . It looks in good condition, So I'm going to check it out later today, If it's as good as it looks in the pictures, I'm gonna buy it.

slow down on the road, don't go to street races... your asking for trouble. If your willing to be irresponsible to laws on the road, got to be ready to accept the consequences. Let this be your saving grace freebie and drive like a regular human being in a mustang driving fast, driving crazy is just begging to be pulled over, and next time you get a sports car stay away from red... That's just asking for trouble, colors that stand out in general do. Get your car plasti dipped to a color that is not loud saying look at me... don't get red, a bright blue, a bright green, or even black. Grey's, forest greens, ugly flat dull tan like you see on many sedans. Watch your speed, and you will be fine...
