i had a USMC sticker on my stang and never got any trouble for it, as soon as i got a sport compact, bam, they were all over me, i even got out of a 95 in a 55 ticket once cause i had a USMC bumper sticker on the pickup that my dad drove, cop looked at it, asked if i was in the service, i said yes, he ran me real quick to make sure i didnt have any warrents, then comes back and gave me a 10$ seat belt violation.... that was friggin great, i stood there for about 20 min. talkin to him about the Corps and his son who was in the Army...........

 

No one got any kills this weekend I can't untill my new wastegate comes so I got none for awhile.

 

no kills, but i did get a ticket....... doin about 100 down a country road in the middle of the state (had to go to my g/f family reunion) and figured what the hell, i never get to open my car up around my area (to many damn cops) and of course comin around a corner my radar detector lights all the way up, flew past this cop doin about 90, so he pulls me over and gives me a ticket for 80 in a 55, i didnt even try to talk my way out of it cause he knew that i knew that he got me, he was pretty cool about it though, he just asked me to slow down and be carefull.........

 

Ummm...i got a kill.

My spyder's dead. Really dead. Like not gonna be driven anymore for a long time. T-belt went out and bent 6 exhaust valves. The head is warped, and the entire valvetrain(including cams) is pretty messed up. And me being poor....well atleast i have another car now. Not my daddy's C-rolla, but the an 01 Corolla S model(automatic, or "autotragic"). My dad bought it to replace his 97 c-rolla, but now that this happened, he's giving the 01 to me. Cool thing is it's gonna be for free. Just a little info on my life, my parents *really* want me to focus on school. They don't want me worrying about driving and racing and putting too much emphasis on my car. They were willing to pay the $159/month car payment for the 01 Toy, but not the repair bill for the Spyder. The spyder is with the insurance company now, they've paid it off and given us a little extra....but it'll never be enough

I wasn't even racing or driving hard when the t-belt went out, just cruising @ 45mph to my house from work on saturday noon. Well.....atleast i'll remember the good times....good times. If you're wondering why this post is in purple, every DSM i've ever owned was this maroon color. The spyder was repainted black

I'm holding a wake at my house, a lot of my friends came over. My toyota friends are happy atleast, but i'm still a DSMer at heart. I was gonna anounce this later on today on the eclipse board, but since a lot of people still visit this thread, it seems like the right place. This is the oldest, largest, and most popular thread on the forum....and one of the first i started....[X(]

 

Oh man! Sorry to hear that Spyder! I hope you will still be around. The board won't be the same with out you. May your Spyder rest in peace.

 

That must suck I feel sorry for you hope everything works out.

 

that really sucks man, dont know what id do without my spyder........ your parents are right to want you to worry about school though, and its cool for them to help you out like that........

 

OMG dude.. that sucks ***.

shall we start a SpyderGS fund raiser?? I'll throw in.

 

i would if i had any money, no tellin how much ive saved cause of spyders advice............

 

I'm putting my wastegate on when I get time so hopefully this week I can get a kill, I wanna race a Type R or a stang or something fun.
