Default No respect

I should have posted this before the other one. I've been having some drive train problems and nobody has been able to help me out. Anyway, after taking my car to the third and final place that has no clue, I decided to lift the car and check out some things on my own. Found a couple probs and fixed them right away. Anyway, drop the car down and take it out for a test. Drive around a little bit, punching it here and there then decide to go ahead and head home. One last punch, in town, 1rst gear ... second gear (hit 56 mph)... Then BAM!!!! Get popped by a cop. 56 in a 30 ($140 ticket) Talk about a bad week. I need to trade this thing in and get a bicycle.

Sorry but this should be in the Drivetrain, or if your just letting us know you fixed it and got a ticket then that's cool but it's not a race like subject...

Please repost this in the proper section..
Thanks.
