I'm sooo pissed... I just got my first moving violation in 18 years !!!
but the sad part is how. (a little long)

I currently have seven (7) Audis on the road to accomodate four drivers
in the family. Most are of the older variety and job has prevented
proper upkeep. One is in storage, and two are currently not running,
leaving four for four.  Ah, but number one son is traveling for business
and doesn't trust his clunker so spare car goes to him. Number two son
needs to get to class and his car is also down, so spare car goes to
him. I'm also in class this week but I'm not going to drive the clunker
so here I am at Enterprise trying to "rent a car!". (yes I'm laughing
inside) but it's late in the day and no cars left...  what to do?

I say screw it, I gotta get to class so I throw some air in the tires
and a qt of oil into number one sons clunker and off I go. Cruising
middle lane of three lane hway I spot a statie on side of road who
immediately pulls out as I pass. Lights come on and I pull over. Windows
inop so I start to open door. (Bad move!)  Bull horn yells for me to
"shut door and keep hands where I can see them". Officer moves to
passenger door and motions for me to open window. I motion back, windows
inop. He opens door and asks me whats the reason for the big "R"ed
safety reject sticker. "Ah, no idea, it's my sons car...".  I'm watching
him in my rear view mirror and he's shaking head snickering. He comes
back and says the reject sticker is dated mar 06. My son has been
driving like this for almost a year and I get nailed first day. Wtf?  He
hands me a $50 ticket. 8-(  I'm bummin......  it's an insurance
surcharge as well.. Arrrg!

tom. (feeling "a little" better now)
