Weekly meet thread - Read the last page for info!

[Matt D.]

I continued to 94 east (south) and in the northbound ("west") lane coming out of down town there were about 50 cops, a huge police truck/van type thing, maybe an ambulance, but I had a cop fly up behind me with lights on, then fly by going to that thing.
Yeah, when I was sitting in the car they were talking about a huge accident on the radio further ahead on 94, he was in a hurry to let me go and get to that accident because they had to control traffic.

Sorry, I just get tired of seeing groups of cops sitting at interchanges playing "traffic hero" instead of out looking for real problems. You have to realize that when you get pulled over for speeding, it's not about safety, it's not about upholding the law, it's about the state making bank. That's the way it's been for decades, and that's the way it'll stay. I'd honestly rather pay more money to the state via taxes than having to deal with fighting tickets to keep my insurance down.

I'm sure it could be argued that we were being "reckless" or "dangerous" but realistically I'd rather have someone go flying past me who's got racing experience as opposed to someone with no license or insurance who's only been driving for a year, and those're the people who always seem capable of keeping their sorry asses on the roads while we get picked on.
I'm expecting your tone will change when you get older. Maybe you should move to California for a couple of years like someone else did because you can't handle the law keeping you down. ;)

Did you see what happens when you move to California though? I saw. I even stared a little, not gonna lie.

I don't really mind when cops nail you for speeding, when I get hit for going too fast, I just admit my fuck up and go on my way. Now, No front plate, dark tint, loud exhaust, etc. Those are the things that piss me off. Especially you guys in the cities that get nailed while your cars are parked outside and the owners are nowhere to be seen. That shouldn't even be legal.

Exactly. I don't see how they can give us tickets for loud exhaust when there are Harley's that are at least twice as loud as our cars are.

So when is this St. Cloud style meet gonna happen? Matt D keeps talkin about it :D
