I got me a ticket!
So yeah, I washed, waxed, and cleaned the heck out of my car today and when I was all done I went to take some fall pictures. Well on my way back I was cruising and lone behold there was a feakin cop. I was doing 45 in a 30 and he ticketed me. I have the option of paying the $131.50 fine, or going to driving school and paying $152.00 and not having the points on my license. So I think I'm gonna take the class. But I just thought I'd let ya'll know I got a ticket taking pics of my car for you guys lol. I'll have the pics up soon.

congrats on your first haro lol I know the feeling I never have cops give me a second look when the car is dirty but the day I took glamour shots I get a cop following me and then I find a good spot and pull over to let him by but he stops and gets out of the car and says nice car and I ask if he cared if I took the pics there he said sure and took off. what is the deal when you clean them you get all the attetion :?:

Too bad about the ticket. But, I'd go the driving school route (and have in the past).
My car usually gets at least one good hand wash a month during the summer months. Doesn't cost a thing once you own the supplies. During the winter, she gets a drive through was every other tank. I figure it'* worth the extra 7 or 8 bucks to keep the salt off. Stupid snowy state....

I know the feeling about the car being dirty and the rain coming.
I left mine dirty an extra day just so Dr. Boost could examine a clean patient yesterday

Yeah, I just bought my SSEi in August and this is the 1st time that I have had a chance to hand wash her and wax her. I figured I'd do it before it got any colder. It was 58 here yesterday and it'* going to be 70 here today but the rest of the week is gonna be cold.
