Default Houstonian joining up

What's up.

I'm Jeff, originally from Louisiana, and now living in Houston.

I have a '99 Z28 that i'm looking to mod, so hopefully these forums will help me do just that.

thanks for having me~

welcome fellow Houstonian! Word of advice - don't street race here. They are VERY strict on that sort of thing!

Always good to see a local guy on the boards!

Houston is home to some of the fastest cars in the country.

So i hear, Shiner...

Hey, i heard a story about houston from a budy of mine....He said that sometimes on weekends some people get together and lap I-610 at about 130+mph.

Any truth to this?

Got a ticket today on jones road going 60 in a 35.....

******* motorcycle cop too...(no i'm not saying that solely because he gave me a ticket, although partly)

cop: "i don't know how you louisiana boys do it but that's not the way we drive in texas"
me: well you pointed for me to pull over there, not under this bridge dude....
cop: "look if you're gonna cop an attitude with me we're gonna have a REAL PROBLEM!"
me: just give me the ticket please.
cop: /walks around my car inspecting every tag and continues to issue me a court summons.

price: $293.00

ya cops in texas dont do well with attitudes.

The more attitude you give them, the more they will write you up for and jack up your ticket price.

Just kiss their *** and then part ways. Maybe next time they will be nice enough to give you a warning.

That' s what pisses me off about cops. There' s no reason to be a dick in MOST cases. There are a lot of cases where they have to be ********, especially considering the stupidity officers have to deal with! I would flashed my ID and told him where to stick it!
