Why I HATE Orange County...
I mean BESIDES "The OC," "Orange County Houswives" and all that.
I hate Orange County because today I'm driving down the street to Home Depot to buy a mirror and this ****ING cop pulls me over and gives me a *****ING ticket for TALKING on my cell phone.
The ****ING loser - had nothing better to do that peep into people's cars to see if they are on the phone. I'm a busy person, my car is my office. I've got things to do when I'm driving.
So the ****ER gives me the ****ING ticket and I leave and drive about 1 mile down the road into Costa Mesa where this ********ER in an SUV cuts me off in traffic - right in front of a ********ING cop. The *****ING cop pulls ME over! And gives ME a ticket for an unsafe lane change. Doesn't he know the differnce between failure to yield and a lane change?
G******M IT I'm a busy person. People, especially ****heads in SUV's need to get out of my way! Especially when I'm on the phone.
So in the course of a mile I get about $400 in ****ING tickets.
I am sooo over Southern California.
And I swear I am NEVER going to buy another red car. I didn't get a ticket for 20 years until I bought my Mitsubishi Lancer rice rocket - that's the one I got nailed in a couple of years ago doing 95 in downtown Laguna Beach - in a 35 zone... LOL.
It's NOT my fault. My Lancer only has two speeds, stop and 95. What's a girl to do.
Giggles,

Mitsubishi
Cut out the MIT and BI you get sushi....
POS company,horrid warranties 2000 to present.
Other than that there is a reason a speed limit was invented.Legally 1 mph can get you a ticket. Doubtfully not always will your tachometer read correctly. If a car has oversized rims and tires it may read in correctly.

LOL - well I don't know - but my speedometer goes to 180 mph so I should have the right to drive that fast. I mean at 95 I'm only running 3,500 rpm and redline is 7,000.

Good - I'm glad that law is in effect - if they'd only do it in Hawaii now, we might be able to drive at a good speed without doofuses yapping on their phone and not paying attention to the road.

Hey - I resemble that Seanchi...
The ****ING cop shouldda given me a break, I wasn't drying my nails or doing my eyeliner at the same time, as usual...
I think this is all because I was wearing a sport bra and tee shirt and I had no way to show a little cleavage.
Really though - it's the car. They are after Lancers. We are persecuted.
LOL,

My odometer says 220 its a Japanese Tachometer. So it is only in Kilometers....Doesnt mean it can go that fast miss..
ECU-computers in the car have something called a governor Which usually hits in at about 90-115 depending on vehicle.
And FYI 100mph+=3 yrs no license.
if one goes 95 I hope you rethink about how you drive for it is reckless.

What I love is riding in France and setting off those silly speed cameras that flash you from the front: as bikes don't have a front numberplate they can't collar me . The French traffic police can kiss my arse!!!

Orange County sucks. I lived in Newport Beach for a while. Says it all.
I feel for you.
