i went by the shop at about 9pm to maybe see how my FD was doing since i got zero phone calls about it today. i go there shop is all locked up so i head home. i borrow my sister's subaru since i have no car at the moment. i am driving home and pass a few big rigs then see a parked cop car, a few moments later he follows me pulls me over. i give him PBA card etc, takes me a few minutes to find registration and insurance card etc. he comes back gives me a ticket for 94 in a 55 woohooo. the one time i get pulled over for speeding its in one of the slowest cars we have!!! wooohooo. i'm gonna fight the ticket. the only positive thing is i will have cheap insurance for another year since my policy renews.... anyway this sucks ***. i'm not even looking forward to getting my car running as i now have to pay this ticket + court fees. YAY

Sorry to here that man. But don't worry soon you will have your FD and the sun will shine again. Actually it won't be the sun at all, but giant ***** of flames coming out your exhaust.

Damn Vosko...That sucks. But look at it this way, the last ticket I got was going 120 kph in a 60 kph zone...and they took my LICENSE for 6 months...AND I had to pay $700 fine for speeding. This was in my FC. If I hadn't gotten that ticket, I would still be driving that FC...
...and Subaru's can do 90+? WTF...

My Subaru would do 95, but I bet I could argue my way out of a ticket with that car...lol. That really sucks that you got a ticket and still have no FD...
