LIKE OMG 2 IN A ROW! Music that doesn't make me want to cry, slit my wrists, brood myself to death or move to a place where people rust? Thank you TWIR may we have another?
Watch-out, everyone speeds - that's all there is to it. But now there's more CHP out there trolling for revenue than I've seen in fifteen-years of Labor-Day Weekend crackdowns. L'Etat est desperate. My fav Crystal Method is predictably mainstream, "Trip like I do."
A recent speeding ticket, (second one ever, first one 8 years ago) wound up costing me $440!
With the state sucking at the local gov. funds, and refusing to share, the local governments are starting to include "court fees" in their ticket processing. This is why a $50 seatbelt ticket will cost you around $250. (that is not an exaggeration)
It hit the news up here because a $20 cell-phone ticket in SF winds up at $132 with the extra fees and stuff added on. And it's different county-by-county as various levies are added and piled-on, and none are explicitly stated so it's a big unknown. My 72+mph will probably be waaaay up there.
Lily Burk's story is about a young girl's trust and our failure as a society. It includes a family friend of hers who joins the discussion and unbelievably offers the beliefs that perpetuate these horrors. Read the posts and comments starting here. Never forget that these people exist.
Remember James Broadnax
He wounded and executed two Christian music producers for $2 and a car so he wouldn't have to walk home. Watch the interview with the remorseless murderer that changed my life. Never forget that these people exist.

I once got pulled over while listening to Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law." That was awkward.
DirtCrashr, I know that all to well...
