I've gotten a warning from a Texas State Patrolman, and supposedly that's a pretty big deal to not have gotten a ticket. When I first moved here I was told that if the first thing the officer does after exiting the vehicle is put on a cowboy hat (state patrol indicator) then you're getting a ticket. Does anybody else feel secretly cool during a traffic stop on their Camaro? Like all the people are driving by you automatically assuming you've committed some heinous traffic law infraction when in fact you were only doing 8 over the limit.

I love that feeling. I've only been pulled over once in the Camro and the cop was pissed because I was only 19 at the time, he said how come you can afford this and I drive a whatever car from 1999.

Here is a video clip of my round 1 eliminations run at LS Fest. I was pared up with a mildly modded SS running in the same bracket as me, 14 seconds, so it was a heads up run. I won so SSlayer rides again! I got to run in round 2 which was fun but got blown off the track. It was a great 3 days at LS Fest!

Man I cant stand trying to read posts that are devoid of any punctuation and almost no capitalization just a rambling list of words I dont know where each sentence ends and the next begins always read it in with a voice in my head that very quickly rattles off the words with no pauses or emphasis like a robot just do not get it not to take anything away from rubys victory but that is one slow ass ss

Feb 2012. It had 3800 on it already. It's my DD, but I only have a nine mile commute and I still drive my '94 PU (322Kmi) from time-to-time.

When did you get yours?

Unless he was letting off since he was bracket racing, that's a terrible time for an SS.

That's what I was thinking was a possibility...
