I admit I am happy to see Monkey posting! I admit I am going to TRY to get to bed before sunrise, tonight.. I admit I need to check my bank balance, but after the trip, I am afraid to... I admit I got pulled over on my way home tonight. (insert "I admit.." as needed): the 2 lane road I travel to and from work is a 35/30 zone. Generally, the cops dont stop you unless you're doing 45 or better (I have been told so by the cops). Tonight, I got stuck behind some idiot that was so busy chatting with his passenger that his speed varied from 40 down to 30 and back the whole way up. As I have mentioned a time or two before, my cars transmission is screwed up and only really engages UNDER 25 or OVER 35. As it happened, the idiot had dropped to just under 30 about the point where the cops usually sit, so as I passed they heard me revving the engine trying to get it back into gear. Next thing I knew, I'm sitting in the right lane of the two left turn lanes and have 3 sets of blinky lights behind me (blocking both turn lanes). The first officer approaches, and before she said a word, I explained the above scenario and said "I was just trying to get it back into gear". She says explain it to him (the next officer), so I go through the whole thing again... He shakes his head, then says "well, that's original, I'll give ya that. Have a good night" and walks away! I admit that it makes me laugh, knowing that it's true! I admit also that HAD I gotten a ticket, I could have fought it with an affidavit from my mechanic...
