I want either TC or Polished stockers, mine are gunmetal 
.
Trying to find TC wheels is a challenge in Canada though, I imagine getting polished stock ones would be pretty cheap. You going to sell yours?

@ Acey;
those wheels are cool!
I have NEVER seen them in person, an'd I'm sure most anyone would trade you polished LSJ wheels in a heartbeat ~ those SPO Cobalt SS wheels look nice, and you won't have to worry about anyone else running them... the only downside is if you doe curb damage to them.

That I was. It was very well said and I agree 95%. it's alot harder to see the wrong in a relationship when you have an emotional attachment.

My license was expired and I didn't even know it. Yay. Cop was as nice as he could possibly be though, but still $177 for 110 in an 80 on Crowsnest, I legit thought the limit was 100 there... then $230 for driving while expired, that combined with my ticket 2 weeks ago and one I got last year which I didn't even know counted for demerits = suspended for 30 days. FAIL!

Damn acey. Get ur **** together lol. When does the suspension start? Like today or after the court date for the ticket.
I dont plan on selling the stockers. If I can afford winter tires for them I might go that route instead of my ugly steelies lol

I dunno when it starts, I gotta get this all sorted out. It's a holiday so I need to wait till tomorrow to get my license renewed. It's the speeding ticket that put me over, license expiry is unrelated. I think if take the GDL test and get my limit upped to 15 demerits before I pay the tickets, then I might not be suspended. Not sure how it works.
Every time I get pulled over I'm tempted to just pin it and take the LE5 to its limit. I'd be child's play for a Crown Vic but what an adrenaline rush that would be.

Only became eligible this year. Until Feb 3 I had 0 demerits so I wasn't really worried about. If the demerits don't apply till you pay, then I am at 3. If they do, then I'm 9... i.e. suspended.

saw a guy running from the cops today. it didnt turn out well for him. one squad car ran him off the road into a parking lot where another one was waiting and went infront of him causing him to stop. a third was behind him so he couldnt go anywhere. the light then turned green so i had to go but it was awesome

If you need money for tickets, I'm liking the looks of those rims Acey 
.
Sucks though man, hopefully they don't count until later on. Did you get caught by traffic (Ghost car) or patrol?

I don't know where he came from, it was pretty early in the morning and it was westbound Crowsnest right where it merges with 5 Ave N. I was flying down the hill then he came out of nowhere, not sure if he came off 5 Ave or had been following me for a ways down Crowsnest. He got right behind me but didn't light me up until I got way on the other side of the bridge so for a minute I thought I was in the clear.

A detector wouldn't have helped me here, on the ticket it says it's an estimate anyway, not complaining cause we both know I was going waaaay faster. Real problem is RCMP's lasers... not much I can do about those. That's how they got me a few weeks ago.
I'm contemplating selling my high rise, though. Brand new, summit white... if I keep it I know I'm gonna eventually get it painted and put it on.
I probably shouldn't put something else on the car that will attract cops.

That sucks man, I get that urge to take off too lol. I was kind of in the same situation with the demerits/license loss and as far as I was told, it depends on which paperwork gets to their head office first, the tickets or the defensive drivers/getting off GDL. In my case the ticket got there first and I got the suspension. If worst comes to worst you can always get a restricted drivers license that lets you only go to school or work or w/e.

Off topic, but I found the other half of my winshield washer nozzle underneath my Vent Shroud on my car. It's been gone since before I bought my car, I wonder how long its been there. Glued it back together and Voila, will have my wipers back!
