I had to miss this semester of school because I can't fucking afford it, and I don't qualify for financial aid. I don't start working until next month, and now that's on shaky ground. I'm sleeping on the floor at my mom's house because there isn't room for me, and I'm supporting myself doing odd jobs on cars and houses. This is not where the fuck I want to be with my life.

In other news, I found my old spacers and I'm almost flush in the rear! Haha.

I **** COMPUTER ILLITERATE PEOPLE!!!

My god this kid was trying to install a pirated game, and said that he installed it but couldn't find the file directory for the crack he said "I searched my computer for 'file directory' but I couldn't find it" I just told him that if he couldn't do that he shouldn't be doing it and now he won't fucking leave me alone and my Mom won't stop bitching about her computer going to sleep after an hour, I turned off the sleep timer (like I told her too) and now she is fine. But MY GOD they bother me SO MUCH.

Ran into a guy openly wielding a loaded gun Saturday night. We bumped into each other shoulder to shoulder. Oops.

The only reason I went down there (the parking lot) was to see if this kid's passenger was pissing on my car. Was heading toward my car to examine for piss, and the guy jumped out of his car and we bumped into each other. I checked for pee (no pee BTW), and turned around and the same kid I bumped into was pointing a gun at some kids in the other direction. Phew.

I had a party get raided once, and on the way out, the crowd decided to have a fight in front of my car and my homies car. People were standing on his ek's roof to watch the party, and some Guido was sitting in my trunk. My friend pulled out a bat, almost beat the shit of a kid that gave him attitude after he told him to get off the roof, and I had to push people off my trunk. Some kid we didin't recognize told us he had our back and pulled out a knife (he looked like he was looking for an excuse to stab someone), I got in my car and probably ran over a bunch of people, burned out of the parking lot and GTFO of there. That night was rough, that was 2 years ago. True Story, wish I had pics.

[Kielan]

Well since there are no pics it didnt happen liar.. . That sounds like it would suck hardcore, I have never had anything that intense happen at a highschool party, the worst was after we played our rivals in basketball last week they slashed a bunch of tires in the lot, (thankfully not mine) even though they won the game..

All I really have to say to that is FUCK RIDGEFIELD.

[Mark Ostrowski]

well thanks to Mr. Ego-cop whos an asshole i might not get my licence until im 18...grrreeeaatt

[Kielan]

What happened?!

[Mark Ostrowski]

What happened?!

well the aforementioned asshole cop was tailgating me w/ his brights on as im trying to find my friend's street (we got lost the first time we tried to find his house and it was dark out) so i ended up slowing down "too slow for him" because i got pulled over for that impeding traffic flow bullshit and got a ticket for not having my permit, now i find out that not having your permit, is like the worst thing you can do as a teen driver, because if the judge is a total asshole like the cop and is having a bad day he has the right to prevent me from getting my license til im eighteen

[Kielan]

Wow... Fuck asshole cops (there are a few good cops out there). You try do something right and they shaft you.

Where do you live that you can drive other people than your parents with just your permit?

EDIT: NVM just saw in your avatar thing that you're in Chi-Town.

[B Rod]

I had some stupid fun in the rain in my E28. Ended up ruining my throw out bearing. Now I have an over heating E36 on non-OP(awaiting S52 swap, but I need more money for parts), an unregistered over heating E30, and an E28 that needs a clutch replaced. Three cars, and I can't drive any of them anywhere. Sweeeeeet.

yeah, shouldn't be too big a deal in court, i can argue he had no probable cause to pull me over, show that i have my permit and most likely just get it dismissed

[Zack01GC]

So wait... you were driving without a permit? Do you have a permit at all? Or was the one you have at home or something?

From what I'm reading it just sounds like the cop was just doing his job?

It's like when people get mad about speeding tickets. If you weren't speeding... you wouldn't have gotten the ticket. Yes, sometimes cops go out of their way to be jerks, but (this may suprise some of you) most of them don't care enough to pull anyone over that they don't have to. I'm not trying to defend the police, but I'm just saying that most of them will leave you alone if you aren't doing anything wrong. Yes, there are crooked cops, and there are also cops that are on a power trip. Just saying that there is a good portion out there (half I'd say) that are just there to do their job.

P.S. driving too slow IS probable cause AFAIK.

[Kielan]

P.S. driving too slow IS probable cause AFAIK.

This is true, and yeah as long as you aren't doing anything wrong they shouldn't bother you, (and even then you can get away with doing like 10 mph above the limit around here, and having license plate frames and such (which are illegal in CT yeah I know its so dumb, and dealers still put them on, and schools still sell them...) if they want to pull you over they will find SOMETHING that they can do.

In terms of the cop "just doing his job" there was no need for him to be driving behind with his brights on at night, thats just stupid and dangerous on the cops part, I think this is a case of the cop wanting to pull someone over and that was a way for him to do it.

See, and this is where you're going to have a problem in court: Can you prove it? Cops can be douchebags, but they are cops, they get paid to pull you over, to maintain civil order, and even when sometimes they cross the line (and they do so, a lot), you cant prove it half the time.

[Kielan]

And that is exactly where all justice systems fail.. Oh well what can you do?
