My 05 lancer turboed lancer thread...never thought it would happen
So I got pulled over tonight for going 54 in a 35 zone. I wanted to log boost real quick and theres a nice little stretch of road where cops usually don't bother. Well not tonight. The cop was towards the end of the stretch of road. Lights came on right away.
After getting my license and green card (kid lost my license) he goes to the his car to check everything over. I'm getting ready to wet my pants because I some license points just dropped off my license and now they are going right back on.
Anyway he comes back and he asks me when was the last time I was pulled over? I tell him a long time ago and that I can't remember. He asks me what happened to my license? I tell him my kid lost earlier this week and I haven't had a day off to go the RMV. Then he proceeds to tell me that he is going to cut me a break, but wants to know why I was speeding. I tell him that I made a mistake and I just wanted to log the ECU. He let me off because I haven't had a ticket in 4 years or ever been arrested (I have but don't know why it didn't come up but whatever I got off). He told me to make sure I got the engine running well but in a safer place.
I said "yes, sir". [THe highway it is] Hehe.

poor desicion on his part.

It looks like they are patrolling it now more than before because they just finished paving it. It took about 2 years for them to finish it so they gonna take care of that road.
I definitely got lucky. I'm still on a high over. I just couldn't believe he let me go without a ticket. Awesome cop.
He asked my wife if she was right handed or left handed? and told her to wack me across the head next time I was speeding.

She just doesn't care anymore. She figured she can't stop me from doing it so she might as well go with it since I like doing it.
I got no complaints about her in that regard.

My wife says "your car is embarassing", "you've ruined your car", "buy a grownup car", and sometimes "You aren't driving, there will be people we know there"

ROFl...she says that when it was dirty but now that its clean she doesn't mind. She wants stock fenders back on though cuz the paint is chipping on the car.
I tell her I gotta fix somethings on it so she can't drive it.

on the way home today the car threw code p0134 (Oxygen Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 Sensor 1)) I looked at my trims and my mid trims were +12. I didn't much of it and the trims started working their way to about -7 or so which is the usual that I have been getting. Could it just be a bad o2 sensor?
