I also remember you mentioning the firebird before, though I don't recall the year. So if it's a lie, at least it's consistnat.
As for weeving in and out of traffic, the more aggressive drivers are used to being able to not get caught by cops. It's the safe driver that occasionaly speeds who isn't used to doing it that gets caught for the most part, at least in my experince. Of course there are exceptions to this.
If you bought your car used, it isn't as expensive as it sounds. His car could be worth between 5 and 10 grand, not all that expensive for a good car.
What gets to me is the plate. He should never have been able to get it. And the the whole signal lights being wired like that sounds fishy to me.
As for Spiffy Puppet, him trying to get woman from the car - some do fall for that, especialy at the later teenage years. The type of person who has a car like that to get woman doesn't care if they are a good or loyal woman or not. They probably just wanna fuck, and brag to their loser friends. There seem to be a lot of people like that around here. [ 07-01-2003: Message edited by: diadem ]

Spiffy Puppet had this to say about (_|_):
Personally I've never seen the point of pouring all of your money into something as stupid as a car. Unless you need to modify your car that much just to do the speed limit then there is no other reason to.Yes, I've heard every response to the comment I just made. Here are a few examples for you:
The first of which is: "I like to race" if your street racing, thats just stupid. Not only are you endangering the lives of yourself, but everyone else on the road. If you do race at a drag strip that is perfectly fine. If your serious about it though that car wouldn't be street legal in the first place.
Another one I hear a lot is "Chicks like my car" or "It gets me chicks" thats b.s. If a girl is petty enough to go fuck a guy because he drives a "badass" or "fast" car she's pretty shallow and probably has STDs that Ajax would not get rid of.
Otherwise I see you as one of those kind of guys that tries to make himself feel badass because he drives a gas-guzzling and inefficient p.o.s. Grow up...
Its called a hobby. Why do people have nice lawns? Why do people have nice houses? Because some people enjoy it.
Does your house have a toilet? If you think of what you said about cars, and compare that to your toilet you should just have a hole in the back because it does the same thing just like a car 'goes the speed limit.' Does your roof have shingles? Well it shouldn't, it should just be a plastic/metal thing above your head because it works, but not as well as shingles.
I take my car to the track every thursday, because its a hobby I enjoy. Just as DDR freaks would go out to the Arcade and 'dance' their hearts away. Some people might ask why? Because its something they enjoy.
Cars are just another accessory, when it comes to attracting girls. Just like clothes, necklaces, watches, rings etc. They just happen to be very expensive accessorys. They will get you an advantage in the dating scene, like it or not.
I take pride in everything I do, espcially my car.
To the people who don't use their blinkers if there's no one around you, remember that there might be someone you don't see who would like to know.
For instance, if you're switching lanes and someone is turning onto the street you're on into the lane next to you, not having your blinker on means they don't know you're switching lanes and could turn onto the street at the same time that you switch lanes. Could cause an accident.

Anyone in NC feel free to stop by and see if its a lie. I'm 18, with the car I describe with no help from parents.
I bought my car used last year for 6,000 with a couple problems. I fixed all problems myself for under 1,000 bucks. So it was about 7,000. I've invested well over 2000 into it after fixing the problems.
Plates are real easy to get slipped through here, atleast from what I can tell. My friend has 'bl4z3n'(blazen aka weed). I've seen one that said just 'ho'. The lady(which looked like she'd never used a computer and was in her late 40's asked me what the plate ment. I said it was an inside joke, and was really pointless. She said 'okay'. I'm sure evenutally some cops gonna pull me and make me change it.
The turn signals are just wired to the high beam setting continuously. Like when the blinker flashes it gets brighter, well mine just stay that bright. A mod alot of people with older firebird/cameros do to look like day time running lights.
Now I actually have to get around to buying one.

You are a god damn moron to compare modding your car to toliets and shingles on a roof. Having a hobby is fine, but comparing your hobby to things that make life a bit nicer in terms of actual living conditions is down right idiotic. Toliets have a REAL function, a solid roof has a REAL function... modding your car with ILLEGAL items serve no purpose, outside of window tinting.
You need a serious reality check if you think your car is equal to items that make your living conditions better.
However, my life is complete without little neon lights under my car and flames shooting from my exhaust pipe.
So, in closing, "meh."

When you are talking about attracting girls, if I girl goes for you just for the car then she's probably the type wearing daisy duke cutoff shorts and has her tits hanging out of her shirt. Since this is the "land of the free" though if you like a girl like that then so be it.Stop basing your ego off some chunk of metal with an engine and you may find that a girl is more attracted to your personality and not what you drive.
Btw: if I were rich and had the money to afford a car like that I still wouldn't buy one. I'd rather have a nice comfortable car such a a bmw or mercedes. [ 07-01-2003: Message edited by: Spiffy Puppet ]

Everything in my car is 100% legal, minus the window tint(which happens to be illegal in my state).
That was just a comparison. I know roofs and tiolets are more important then a car. But he said he likes things that 'just go the speed limit'. So why not have baseline everything? A small round tube for a house, which a bed springs out of and you lay in to sleep. Shoes that aren't really comfortable but protect your feet from the ground. Clothes that don't really keep you warm or cool, but just cover up body parts. Etc.
Thats great Spiffy Puppet, that you can stereotype. I don't really care. Just because I take pride and like my car I have to want the girls that you describe? Sure it does attract some of them, but I wouldn't date them. My current girlfriend loves modding her car just as much as me(or more) and shes the exact opposite of what you would think.

You say your car is legal. If I recall you said it had a huge rumble noise? In most areas they'll ticket you if its too loud. The turn signals don't blink either. Any logical reason not to have them blink still surpasses me. Either way that too is still illegal.
Oh and about your little computer comment. Computers don't run over and kill people when some psycho is at its controls. They also don't spew out tons of exhaust which is already choking the atmosphere as it is.

As long as I drive during hours a noise ordiance is not in effect I'm fine. When I come home late at night I roll all the way through my neighborhood in neutral.
The worst driver is the slowest/least alert. They cause most accidents. I generally stick to the speed limits to 5 over on crowded public roads. And my car burns no oil, and would probably pass most states smog tests.

That might just be the reason it's against the law to change lanes at intersections, ne?

Oh really? Because I've been in 0 accidents with 0 tickets over two years of driving?
Not many teenagers these days(or any days) can say that.
As for yourself so far you've been lucky. Your time is coming. I have a friend that used to drive like you until he damn near killed himself.
How much did you say your insurance was again? $120 a month just for liability? Mine is only $110 for full coverage. When your driving habits catch up to you I'm sure that will skyrocket for you. [ 07-01-2003: Message edited by: Spiffy Puppet ]

In 5 years I have had 2 accidents and 0 tickets. I can also guarantee that in any 2 of those years I have done atleast 3x the amount of driving you have, if not more. I also went my first 2 years of driving with 0 accidents and 0 tickets. And have not had an accident in the last 2 years.

That.. is illegal.
Let me guess.. they are not all yellow or white are they? If they are white.. are they white in the back? Yep, that is illegal too. White light signifies on-coming traffic. The only time white is allowed to come from the back of your vehicle is when you are backing up. (OMFG! On-coming traffic) The other exception is your license plate lights. Do they blink? If they dont, that is illegal. The blinking is there to catch people's attention. Lit up all the time? Illegal. Steady lights are used for sight.
BTW... Are your rear lights a shade of bright red? Did you know that if they are not within a particular range of red you can be ticketed? What about your headlights... are they just white? Same rules apply there as your rear lights. Have light coming from under the vehicle or any non-designated areas? Yep, illegal, they are distractions for other drivers.
Must I go on? Your vehicle is most definately NOT legal.

If you can't use them to signal turns, they are not turn signals. Make them turn signals again, before someone gets maimed or killed, idiot.

They are yellow. Uses the same bulb a normal car would use for its turn signal. They are stock red in the back. Firebirds/Trans ams do not have yellow bulbs in the back.
My headlights are plain normal looking headlights, no fake halogen bulbs or anything like that. Though I have an extra switch to where I can have my brights and driving lights on at the same time which I only use when other cars are no where near. No underbodies here, not a fast and the furyass type of guy. BUT, in NC green/purple and a few other color underbodies are legal. As long as the blub is hidden from plain view, you can have lights in certain colors.
Its really hard to explain how my blinkers work. Okay upfront they are always on the 'blink' setting. But when I press the lever up or down, the corresponding side lights up a little brighter(the parking light bulb comes on). And in the back, when I press the lever, the turn signal bulbs light up but do not blink. If I knew how I'd make them blink, but I enjoy my day time running lights to be a bit brighter.
Btw, as for the vehicle inspections, you can't use that as a basis for what someone could and couldn't do to their car. Some states don't have them. Indiana doesn't. I didn't even know they existed until Deth was talking about getting their vehicles inspected.
Since Kirane said NC, I know they do inspections there, but there really is no way to use those as a gauge for what's allowed and what's not.
I think inspections must be a southern thing. Don't do them at all in Indiana, or Illinois.

I'm one of the only people here who uses them.
It's been a running joke in the newspapers that the only cars with blinkers on have just come from the factory...
