View Full Version : I give up

Tonight I got pulled over for the second time in a month. This time it was two tickets, 8 points and $350 :eek: I'm mad not because I got caught not but because I knew better, and I did it anyway. As a result I have decided to sell my 240. It sucks because I love the car and wish there was another way, but I need to drive something that I can't be tempted to have fun in since I can't seem to control myself. Maybe someday, when I can afford two cars, I'll own a 240 once again. You'll be seeing it in the For Sale section soon (it's nothing spectacular) and after it's sold I doubt I'll be visiting much (haven't had time to lately anyway). Thanks to all those who have helped me in the past.

hopefully you dont mess up your license. i went 3 years without driving because i lost too many points. good luck with a new car though. and i agree, you dont need a fast car for the street, because if you're going to be driving fast, you will get caught.

Your own fault. You shoulda learned when you got the prior tickets. Grow up.

I know its my own fault . I know I should have learned the first time. And I know I need to grow up. That's one of the reasons I'm selling it. You act like you've never gotten a ticket. Well, thanks for pointing out the obvious. Moving on.....

Anyway, I think I get a pickup or something. I could really use the hauling space....

hehe well i've noticed a trend with alotta my friends who're tired of getting tickets in their sport cars and wanna move on. they either move on to 1) big trucks with a lotta torque or 2) superbikes with alotta speed. looks like you're taking that truck route huh?

Yeah, I'll probably be going the truck route but not a big one. I just need something big enough to tote my bands gear around. Probably a little Nissan pickup or Toyota Tacoma, or even an S10 if I can find one I like. The bike option crossed my mind, but thats even faster that what I have now = me getting in more trouble.

If I get another ticket my license will be suspended. A few days ago I got pulled over for going 64 in a 45 :faint: the cop saw my horrable record and still let me off with a warning!:bowdown: :rawk: what a nice guy.

i don't get it. i have never gotten pulled over in my 240. its a weak car with the stock engine. so i never punch it on the straights. turns are another story. :D

but when's the last time you see a cop pull someone over for taking a corner too fast? seriously though don't sell the car. just stay at a safe speed. u're going to want to drive fast no matter what car you have.

I'm not following the logic here. You've gotten a lot of tickets in the past, so you're selling the 240? Why? That line of thinking seems to imply that you somehow blame the car for the tickets you've received.
