It was only two of us. Stormalong somehow vanished right before the cops appeared. I guess they were a bit concerned because as soon as the two of us pulled over, another cop showed up behind me.

A third cop showed up as well after we'd be issued the tickets but were still pulled over. I was really worried they'd charge us for racing when I saw both those cops.

All in all - could definitely be worse but I'll be a little speed shy for the next few months I'm sure. :/

ok... non-pints topic.
@TOZER I still have your strut brace in my trunk. It's an awesome part that you'll notice instantly, and you've already paid for it. I'm surprised you're not beating down my door. If you want to sell it, I know a few here that would like it.

Yikes! Yeah, I took the offramp to Hw24 to get back to Cambridge, that must have been right before it happened.

What was the ticket, speeding? I didn't think you guys were going all that fast.

Maybe we need a badge, like the Sons of Anarchy 'Men of Mayhem' patch. When you get pulled over you get a sticker to put in the rear window. Although, from what I've heard, if we did that Slartibartfast might not be able to see out the back anymore.

Honestly, I kind of like this idea!

..we'd have to keep them small, though, for Steve's safety.

Not yet!

I'm keeping an eye on the electric supercharger development - that sounds really cool.

I don't think anyone in the area is running a tune, either. Anybody?

I've got the OpenFlash Tablet. Running Shiv's OTS tune version 1.2. Bought it for the well-being of my injector seals. Enjoying the reduction of the torque dip.

I (kinda stupidly) got the extended warranty and so a tune or FI option will make that a waste of money. So I'm SOL until I can trade in for a factory boosted option whenever that becomes available.

I'm at the plant south as well. Not driving the FRS every day right now, but frequently. Mine's the red one with Perrin exhaust and LED DRLs.

Bunch of the guys are in QCE with the more modified ones.

Meet tonight, anyone? Or are we too busy putting on winter tires? (Or being afraid of speeding tickets? Or spending too much eating out?)
