So I figured that since things have been relatively quiet lately, I'd start conversations with whoever wants to join. I'm out in South Dakota visiting my girlfriend this weekend. Left Wednesday and will be here till Monday...Vacation from work. I got a speeding ticket on my way up here from the coolest trooper out there.

His name is Bret Schultz lol...He pulled me outta my car, sat me in the front seat of his squad car, and I'm freaking out lol. He tells me he's gotta write me a ticket for going 10 miles over, he lowered it from 12 mph over to 10 mph, cuz it's a less fine and I was honest to him. We spent, literally and not shitting you, 55 minutes talking about cars and other stuff. He was asking about my car, I showed him the engine and all...he was all "OOOO AHHHH" lol. Then He was talking about how he wondered if it would void the warranty if he put a performance chip in his squad car LMAO! Seriously, the ONLY reason I had to go, and leave the conversation, was my girlfriend, who at this point was 10 minutes away, was scared I got into an accident and that's why I was late an hour lol. So, a $79 ticket, well deserved for the speeding, but I'm writing him a thank you note for being so cool about everything. This is by far the best cop out there. I hope you all can get pullewd over by him just for the experience lol.

Let's see, my girlfriend and I went to "Music and Lyrics" Wednesday night...not too bad for a chick flick, especially with Hugh Grant. We're going to Ghost Rider tonight...looks to be decent, I hope. On Tuesday I'm having my trunk lock solenoid replaced as well as my driver's side power door lock. This next weekend I will have my Remote Start/RKE/Security system installed...Then I just need the hood and valence painted and I'm set!

How about anyone else? Car related or otherwise. This could be a nice little topic for those boring days...Let's keep it going!

I saw Music and Lyrics with my lady last night for her bday. It really wasnt that bad, I thought it was gonna be a gay musical or something. I want to see Wild Hogs next, it sounds pretty funny.

As for getting pulled over, Ive been pulled over many times and never gotten a ticket. Well I did get one ticket that I honestly didn't deserve for running a red light (it was yellow and i was making a long right hand turn), but I won in court. That police officer was not very nice, and nor was I. I started arguing with him and he threatened to write me another ticket so I said I'll see you in court. But I have found if you are polite, have your info ready and tell the truth police are pretty nice.

Spring break is in two weeks, nothing planned. Gonna finish putting all the parts in the TGP and hopefully get it running right.

I went to "300" the other day. I have to give an honest opinion. I did not like Sin City, another of Frank Miller's stories/movies...so my expectations for this movie were low. Even though it looked like it would be good, I figured the plot line would let me down. Boy was I wrong. Kick ass movie! Great action sequences, very beleiveable (except the occasional weird-ass looking bad guys), but I totaly liked it. I'd go again, and recommend it. Great acting too, even though you can tell the piercings on Xerces face were fake lol...you can see the fask skin that attached them lol. Still great...

I saw WILD HOGS last weekend.  That was HILARIOUS!!  Great acting, and I saw everyone from ages 4-80 there and everyone laughed at it. 
Excellent movie- I would DEFINITELY go and see it again.
5 out of 5 stars.
