:lol: . tlak about dirty though. there's this huge straightaway of brand new repaved road that everyone speeds down but it's a 35. so i'm coming home, empty street and i'm pretty tempted but i'm like nah, my house is right near the end so i might as well just go the speed limit. so all the sudden this car turns off another street and is going behind me and accelerates up to my speed really fast and starts tailing me pretty close with his brights on. i'm thinking monkey off, but i just coasted the 2nd little part of the "W" shape of the road and get up to 45, this guy's tailing me the whole time. as i'm slowing down to the stop sign to turn onto my road he turns off his brights and i just see those new little low profile lights and i'm like aw monkey. so instead of turning down my street i go right because i know i'm probly monkeyed and figure i'd be way better off getting pulled over not in my neighborhood. so i go down this other road for a bit just waiting to get pulled over and he throws on the red and blue lights and i'm like gg. so i park in this tiny little parking lot of this little convenience store in this neighborhood and he got my license and all that and gave me a warning. i was scared as stuff but i'm 2 fopr 2 with warnings now :lol: . i'm probably done next time though. and there were two cops with their lights on behind me by the time he was done with everything. everyone driving by was just looking at me like i'd shot up the store or something.

i mean, i was speeding but i still can't belive they tail you like that. i would have obviously seen it was a cop if he hadn't had his brights on. i dunno if that's a typical thing they do but it scared the stuff out of me.

He was probably going to offer a Police Escort to the soccer game that you should have been late for, then he realized that you had no kids and felt like an idiot for pulling you over and figured give a warning.

khax next time make a bunch of turns followed by a u turn :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

he asked if i was heading home and i said yes because i was. then i realized he was checking my license in his car and my house was on the street before :lol: . he asked about it and i said i was dropping off my friend's longboard at his house that was sitting in my backseat. i felt like a dumbass having to make a bunch of random BS up but there was no way i was risking getting pulled over at 11:45 in the middle of my neighborhood.

lol, i always feel i have some sort of advantage driving a white volvo when it comes to looking suspicious.

Anyone looking for a black T5-R? Came across a fairly nice one on craigslist. Bunch if IPD stuff, 3" exhaust, stereo, and 850R wing. It's in Orlando.

Looks like the paint on the top facing surfaces (roof, hood and trunk) could use some work. :unsure:

Car looks ok on Craigslist. Looks like he put some more pictures up in a newer ad. Not too sure about the price he is asking though. Might be a little high even with all the mods that he has.

You're Nintendo controller has VTAK!!! haha, I'm tired.

So we have this Swedish kid at work right now, The General Manager's daughter and the Swedish guy and his sister are staying here, then my bosses daughter and the swedish girl are going back to Sweden and the Swedish guy is staying here. But anyhoo, he's supposed to be out washing the lot, but he gets distracted real easily and he was getting in the one technitions way so when he came back to recon we started talking cars and that kept him preocuppied. His parents have a V70 deisel, and he got all excited when I told him I have an 850 Turbo. That would be awesome if he could give me the hookup on a built motor and a bunch of performance parts, along with a Manual Turbo wiring harness.

the rant:

So I rode my peddle bike to work today, one guy almost ran me over in a parking lot, but no biggie. The new guy at work who was supposed to be supervisor for tonight did nothing but talk on his cell and play the same crappy cd over and over. I was doing a delivery and had the gas card laying on the dashboard, because I was going to put it back in the office when I drove to the front of the shop after washing it. Well he kicked me off it, most likely half assed the interior because he was done within 3 minutes, and left the gas card in it.

While my brother was getting raped with service washes and me unable to help because I was doing a bunch of stuff for parts and the service writers, he again just talked on his phone and didn't do anything. Two hours later we got an asap delivery and the gas card was no where to be found. So I right away knew what happened and called down to small dealer we cleaned the car for. We were giving a scooter to be a delivery for tomorrow so I took it down to the other dealer to wait for the lady to come like she said she would. This was at 7, at 8:20 me and another sales guy took a Mustang down to where she said she was, and we didn't see her car at any of the shops around, so we came back. It was now almost 9 and the dealership closes at 8:30 so I took the scooter back up, to the main dealership. Luckily I didn't get pulled over for not having reflectors or lights because it was dark out.

When I get home, my brother told me that the guy who left the card in the car was telling everyone he saw that I left the card in the car, then the Service writer (the words I have about them belong in the R forum) were doing there normal talk behind your back thing apparently. And I'm going to punch the one oneday, and from now on I plan on being a major dick, and I'm not going out of my way anymore to help them. When they leave at 5 and give us 10 service washes, I'm not going to slam them out so they can get out on time; I'm just going to take my sweet old time.

I was going to be nice and come in tomorrow even though it's my day off, but $70 isn't worth it and I'll know I'll probably get myself fired because I'm still in a really bad mood. So tomorrow I'm going to the other dealership, getting the card, dropping it off, and enjoying the rest of my day off. I hope they get hammered with work tomorrow, so the other part time guys will go to the real supervisor Monday and probably get the new guy fired. He's been there 3 weeks, he should know whats up by now, and that you can't be on your cell every minute and taking smoke breaks every 5 minutes.

So jist of the story, to hell with my current position, Service writers and new guy can go rot in hell, I'm thinking about applying to be a sales guy at the other dealership, the reconditioning department gets treated like &*^%, I'm almost 20 and I've put up with this for 3 and a half years, but can't wait till November when I go to Basic, so I'm hopefully moving to a better postion within the company.

Sorry for the Novel.
