The State of NH is doing "speed awareness, accident avoidance" testing on Route 95 North just before the toll. Ask me how I know.

I was bagged driving my e46(Jesse's car) on 101 the morning I bought my MCS. The officer said I was doing 96 mph. There was no way that car would do 96 mph! I think my fine was just shy of $400.

Mine doesn't that I've seen, Mike. Doesn't mean they're not there and I just missed them... LOL

Anyone interested in a set of 5mm H&R Spacers and bolts? The bolts don't fit in my new rims. The rims are +40, and look better than stock, so not going to mess with the spacers.

I'll make you a good deal.

I've been reading about these plastic shields and they actually help improve gas economy and aerodynamics. For some reason some models have these while others don't. I'm thinking about putting them on both MINIs.

Well you didn't get stopped did you? I usually see them sitting between exit 3 and exit 4 with the officers ahead signs.
