It's my daily driver, but not the only one I drive.

So you put well over 20K on that one plus you also drive another car(s)? How many miles do you drive per year? Over 20 is already high, sounds like you're closer to 30K per year. The average is 12K (or so Ive heard). What the hell are you doing, man? Running moonshine?

I live 34 miles (one way) to where I work. I drive to ATL, the beach, NOLA, Nashville, or the GSMNP fairly regularly. Hell, sometimes, I just get out and drive. Itadds up

$111 speeding ticket this morning

this is why I can't have 300hp cars
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

LOL well played.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Now, you better pay it. The systems are all interlinked now. If they suspend your license there, it will be suspended in your state due to the interstate compact and linking of systems.

I've thought about rigging explosives on the speed trap boxes they have all over Maryland now. Getting a ticket in the mail weeks after leaving a place is a motherfucker. The thing about Maryland, though, is that the tickets are only about $40. They make it not worth trying to fight the thing. For $500, I would waste court time in a fight just to get my pound of flesh from the system. Then I would put a quarter stick of dynamite on every one of those radar boxes as I could find...or at least that is what I tell myself I would do.

I would actually get an attorney to get it reduced, but paying is preferable to a suspension.

The attorney would cost more than just paying the fine unless you came up with a "I'll pay you a portion of what you save me" deal.

What about the increase in insurance? Did you factor that into the equation?
