How about this:

My car boost cuts anytime I go WOT. First time it happened, I thought I blew my $h1t up. So, imagine driving around a 300whp car and not being able to get on the gas for 3 weeks. It's horrible I tell you.

Hopefully I get it fixed this weekend when I go to Tuning Tech.

6 tickets, dang! here's something else to make ya feel better.

i had a tinted up acura for 7 years, few years ago, i got stopped by police just 15ft away from my parking lot at work(random check) i had belts on, got the usual paper work out, then he checks my tints with his gadget, sez my tints are too dark. he took 20 minutes to write me up, i thought to myself, wtf? he comes back with 5 tickets(FIVE)! one for each tinted glass(it was a 2 door hatch).

i got lazy and decided to pay them. then somehow the check i mailed in got lost and that caused me a suspended licence, i found that out cuz i got pulled over again a month later for tints. while i was being cuffed for driving w/o licence, even that cop was surprised that one officer gave all 5 tickets.

the end
(i now own 2 cars w/o an inch of tint them anywhere)

Ha! That's funny, you just reminded me. I had to pay twice for both my only ticket, and my wifes only ticket. Both times they said they never got the money. It's a scam I tell ya!

How about this, every time I get deployed I get freaking jacked! Last time my apartment got robbed, they caught the bastards but the apartment management wouldn't give back our stuff. They said they weren't going to give away stolen goods. So they just threw everything away. Wow, I'm pissed again.

This deployment my rims got jacked and had to pay insurance $1000 to replace them. My wife hired movers so she could move out, and they jacked a box of ours with about 30 video games, both xbox and ps2. Plus some other sentimental stuff. Maf sensor got jacked up, and my wife took it to the dealer. {thumbdown} There's another grand out the window.

I'm expecting the ground to open up next and swallow my Evo.

If it makes you feel any better, I got pulled over for failure to properly indicate a left hand turn, most people don't even use one which pisses me off, and I wasn't even in my car, I was walking into 7-11, and then he said i smelled like alcohol and gave me a DUI, I'm loosin my evo cause of it, oh and even though i didn't get charged for it his back up excuse was not having a front mounted liscence plate, but the whole thing was HID's and BIG WING

Thats not very nice. I dont think I am doing anything stupid. Bought the car and on the way home got ticketed for broken headlight? Yes it worked when I left the lot.

all im saying is you are a bad driver caus the majority of the time you dont get ticketed for the stupid things you do on the road... you get away with it caus there are no cops around... you must be doing a lot of bad driving if you have been ticked four times... ill give you the headlight one...

defensive driving.

plea with the prosecutor, tell them you'll take defensive driving. You usually have to offer somthing to get something back.

Usually, most of the states take points off for taking these courses. I know Georgia takes off 7 points off of your driving record and your insurance gives you (depends on the company) discounts for taking the course.
