That's what you get from a California company. :mellow:

I don't get it. I guess I missed something.

Oh, yeah, the citation was 74 in a 50.

Yeah. Gears = Ground.

It's definitely grimy for them to sit on the speed limit border like that, but if you were going 74 then you were speeding even for the 65. Not to be captain obvious or anything.

He didn't get stopped for speeding in the 65 zone. He got nailed while coming around the bend before he even saw the cop. Sucks, but he got caught fair and square. A speed trap is more devious when a cop is doing something like monitoring a 65mph zone as it drops to a 50mph. You had the reverse lol. You were already speeding by a large margin in the 50mph zone, which then gets faster. Time to buy a radar detector if that's normal driving

I think that about sums it up, really.

Probably has been mentioned here before but happened to me yesterday.
Songs that have a strange noise syncopated in the rhythm that sounds like bearing/cam/rotating assembly beginning to fail. cruising down I-25 in the Solstice not paying any attention to what was on the radio and this racket comes on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8ygKnBtKAk and it has me changing gears, slowing, speeding trying to figure out if my HPFP is about to disintegrate. I see no musical value to that little chirp noise hidden in the rhythm!

This or noises that sounds like emergency vehicles...

Haha yes. I have checked my mirror many a time when a siren is used in a song.

GR-8 · Postby **GR-8** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 9:14

I forget what song it is but it annoys me. It is one of those buzzer alarm clocks. I always think it's someone alarm on their phone. I just hear eeee eeee eeee eee eeee eeee and it's in the background of the song.

Different subject, but when people say "and I" when referring to someone else (e.g. Will and I) trying to sound smart when it really should have been "and me." It makes me disproportionately angry. And it's not even that hard. Just take the other person's name out and if you would say I then say and I. If you would just say me, then it should be and me.

I was wondering if she was thinking about Nicole and I the other day.

Second sentence doesn't make sense. Should have been me.

Yes, I know I'm a grammar nazi and I accept it. Most of the time I'm able to keep it to myself at least but the urge to correct is strong.
