Its hard not to speed when the car goes 80 mph @ 2200 RPM. Time for some gears, that will make my car quicker and let me know that I'm driving faster than I should be.

The first mod will be racing seats to give you some more headroom, then the next thing you know, the interior is gutted and you're running 8s at Irwindale with a skinny asian chick in the back for weight distribution.

I got hit on that hill going to work one day. a chp on a bike got me for 85 and tint. He saw me coming s he apeared to finish up another ticket. He wippped out his radar gun as he mounted his bike. I just pulled over and waited. I came back by 15 minutes later and he had two more cars. Now I drive the Galant to work mostly.

El Toro, Lake Forest and Bake (going down towards the 5) are trap central. I know cause I live up the hill and watch my speed going down, all the time.

Oddly enough, I've had runs up Alicia ~100mph and never seen a cop.

It's worth my $3-$4 a day to take the 241 to the 5/405 nowadays, just to avoid headache and possible ticket for 3+mph over.

Was that just an SRJ thing? As in:


SRJ doesnt get speeding tickets. Female CHP officers pull him over just to get his number.
