I drove with a suspended license for years, but it was due to failed emissions, which is a lesser non-detainable offense, but after 9 years I got pulled over taken into custody again (this would be the 5th time) and decided to finally get it corrected. About $5k and a bunch of red tape later I finally made it valid. I had to do the written, driving, and the eye tests, which took 2 days to finally complete after getting all of my necessary paper work, and it was fun using my friends Saturn Sky for the driving one. Then I got a speeding ticket a few months after. lol

These days I drive a 410HP Ram Rebel that I've been slowly working on and there's a supercharger going in sometime down the road, along with some long tube headers and a custom tune. That'll get me over the 500HP point but hot dam she's ****ing fast right now. I don't talk much about it here, since it would be like talking to myself, but I do belong to a few vehicle related forums where I ask questions and get some ideas.

I keep edging over into my Dad's footsteps, which was Art, Cars, and Music, in that order. The apple don't fall far, so I've learned to just roll with it.

Also, Uber is huge around here. A few of my friends make a few $$'s as drivers.

Cut Trollheart a break. He gets all his news from CNN.

And he's a fifty year old Irish guy who just start believing in white privilege. Being a little cringe is to be expected.

Doubt it. Unless jwb means he would lose it with the cop (not being known for his patience) and bring the search upon himself? Or is he just being overly paranoid?

Nice attempt at woke points but you are a bit naive my Irish friend.

Being white has definitely come in handy but it's not some sort of invincibility cloak. If a cop finds you with your car broken down they're probably going to stop and question you.

As plankton intuited I'm not street legal yet plus yes if a cop smells weed they can use that as probable cause to search your vehicle.

What's funny is i have these giant get vaccinated signs in my trunk i was planning on doing something with. I think it'd be interesting to see what the cops would've made of that.

I had two cops pointing their guns in my face at 18 all rosy cheeked and literally a pink bow in my hair, for rolling through a stop sign and into my driveway.

White privilege means this didn’t happen to me *because* of my skin color. Not that I am untouchable.

You just can't resist taking any chance to abuse and insult me, can you? I suppose that speaks more to your own failings than mine. Nobody's perfect, but you go ahead and work out your persecution complex on me, sure why not? Also, since you opened with such a sentence, I was talking to jwb not you originally, so touche, turtle.

Also, I'm only progressive when it comes to rock.

Fifty-eight. Almost sixty now. Must remember to go pick out a nice coffin before it's too late.

Well I prefer your response, which at least didn't have bile and vitriol spewing out of it just because I got it wrong. Thanks for your politeness.

All of which convinces me further than America sucks. :laughing:

I'm imagining jwb could at least get Vinny Gambini to defend him.

"Anti-Racist, Anti-Sexist Boy" by the Linda Lindas and it's a heartfelt ode to a middle aged Irishman who finally found out that racism is bad and is very excited about it.

CNN turning some Irish uncle into a fierce and clueless anti-racism keyboard warrior is somehow way funnier than a million Floridian aunts getting into qanon via memes.

So are you just a bitter lefty who's lashing out against the left for not living up to your standards or are you a Trotskyist about to take a job at National Review?
