If you follow the rules of the site nobody has to "moderate".
If you are locals looking to sell something locally post it in the local classifieds and link to it.
I got one a few months back in West Chester by a highway patrol douche and it was $165 if I remember correctly. The fine is 60, but court costs are 105.

No front plate needed in KY. If anyone needs the front plate mount for an VIII I have one. I would post is as "for sale" but I am not allowed to do that in here.
Court cost? Did you contest it or something? I thought you just paid the ticket and you're done, like a speeding ticket?

You ever get bored and want to practice....feel free to snap some of my car.
HELP WANTED ! !
I have a set of rear coil overs that the lower mounts will not break loose. I've tried soaking them in BP Blaster, heating them mildly with a heat gun, torquing on them with a 2 foot extension on the spanner wrench. I even beat on them with a soft rubber mallet. All to no avail.
If anyone has some "tricks" I am all ears.

1.
wire brush as close as you can to the perch.
put the damper in a vice and take a flat head screw driver. place the screw driver in one of the notches and tap to loosen. reverse direction, and repeat.
2.
if you're still having trouble remove all pressure from perch. remove the spring and move any other perches out of the way.
if it is a stuck cup:
1.
remove the entire lower control arm(or fashion something you can bolt to the base cup), place the damper in a vice, then use the lower control arm as leverage to loosen. you wont have to worry about spanner wrenches falling off.
NOTE: don't buy JIC garbage (i think remember you telling me you use these) . in fact if you can afford it, buy an all aluminum shock body. most hassle free **** EVER. love it on the ITR.
