ok, ive got some questions to ask.

Ive been pulled over 5 times already. First one I was let go ( just suspicious ). And 4 i got warnings ( practice my manners and kissing up ) They were kinda of bad too. 1) driving without license, insurance, reg, driving after curfue with my provisional 2) driving against traffic (one way) almost hitting the cop and speeding. 3) speeding 4) getting on the center lane too quickly and driving more than 100 yds.
Funny thing is i always get pulled over by a cop lady and they always gimme a warning. HOW MANY WARNINGS CAN I GET TIL I GET A TICKET??

Next up is that on the cross street of my street theres a lot of traffic thanks to Costco. So i often have to rush in and accelerate fast or else ill be there all day waiting or if i accelerate reg. ill get hit by traffic. So one day when i did that there was a 300zx that i think was offended by me cutting himoff and wasnted to race me big time (or make a statement or something) he was swirving left and right and revving behind me. I was thinking about racing him or not because they were two youngsters (hispanic). SO they prob cant drive well, and the paont job was kind of faded so it must have been old and beat already. dont know if it had turbo or not. Im guessing its pulling about 200 - 230 hp. Right???? But i still think i had a chance on the freeway handling thru traffic. WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ? DID I HAVE A CHANCE ?

Next is if i can beat my cuzins talon tsi. 200 hp awd right??? but how is it on the street.? i want to shut him up cuz he keeps blabbering on me and our other cuzins that we suck and that we're slow. Know i know that my car aint fast but i can beat some cars. But He even said that to my cuzins rx-7 turbo, 330 hp. And his rx-7 is kinda fast and yet he still thinks he can whoopp our butts with a civic si or integ gsr!!!!!!!!!! So thats the main reason to give him a whoopin.

1) Driving like that, you shouldn't have a license.
2) It's 222hp without turbo and with it's weight, plus a passenger, maybe you could take him, but I' mnot sure.
3) I didn't understand anything from the last part.

1.) simply answer. stop driving like a fucking moron (wrong way down a one way street?) and maybe you'll stop getting pulled over.

2.) you could probably take him, or maybe not. i don't know.

3.) a TSi would hand you your ass, stock.

lol.
ok about the last part. MY cousin thinks he can beat most cars with a civic si or integ gsr. Now that he has a Eagle Talon tsi (Eclipse) he thinks he can beat any car on the road. Therefore, me must kick his butt!

OH AND ANOTHER CURIOUSITY. Me and my cuz took out another rotary engine (13b turbo). So he gave me an idea of swapping it to my 240. (After playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 and putting an RE on the s13) I know that was fantasy gaming, but in real life anything is possible with $$ and mods. So it would be cool to do the swap but rotary engines dont have a lot of torque. CAN SWAPPING THE RE IN MY 240 WORK OR IT AINT WORTH IT??? OR AM I CONSIDERED A STUPID DUMBO AND A TRADER FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT?

1) i dont do it on purpose. I try to be a good driver.
2) ok next time i see him in my neighboorhood ill take him on and tell u the results.
3) Thats waht i thought. So will i need to invest a lot of money to beat him, if it does than i'll just beat him with my boss's vr-4 for now.

there is no limit on warnings..it is up to the cop to either give you a ticket or a warning...not the state ect ect..

I thought you were just carelss and a dangrous driver, but if that's what happens when you try to be a good driver, maybe you're just not to bright.

haha........funny.....i tend to speed ( by speeding i mean going over the speed limit i.e. 40 on 30 mph street) on the street because i simply dont notice it. On the freeway i drive the speed limit cuz i want to conserve gas. Gas prices over here in Cali are about $2.45/gal.
The time i got caught without anything was cuz my uncle got a stroke and the whole family stayed in the hospital til 3 am. We left in a hurry so i forgot my wallet and the papers for my VW Fox were in my room still. The wrong way driving was at nigh on a street thru the park, i didnt see the one way sign or the cop and again i didnt notice i was going 25 mph on a 15 mph street. And about the center lane part, i didnt do anything bad, i just drove for 500 yds on the yellow center lanes when u could only go for 100 yds when making a turn. But there was a lot of traffic, so i figured that it was ok to drive in the center lane (i mean thats what its for) to make tha turn instead of waiting to get close enough to go in and then make the turn where i still had to yield for traffic.

do us a favour and learn to drive before you go out again. doing all this shit you're telling us will only wreck your 240.. you're gonna come on here one day with a story about how you got impatient in traffic and went on the shoulder, lost control and hit a telephone pole.. now don't take this as seriously as it sounds, but you sound like a honda driver who drives a car with mods that only TAKE AWAY any good the car originally has and drives around like a retard on coke.. BUT, you drive a 240sx, which is a car that CAN handle a lot of what you throw at it (as a driver) but there will be one time where YOU can't handle the car.. so stop driving like that for the sake of the car and yourself..

secondly, you say you speed in the city but not on the highway??? a little ironic, i must say.. in the end, it really depends on how you drive but if you take it easy in the city you still won't get the same mileage you would on the highway, even if you drove the piss out of it on the highway.

all right then man. Thanks a lot for your advice and for you looking out for me and my car. I wont do it again. I'll be good and listen to my parents now. No really I AM!!!!!!!!!!! and btw every time i get pulled oer i learn a lesson. Right? i learn from my mistakes. And now i know that no matter how fast i go in city i will still get same mileage so now i will keep driving faster! yay! oh i mean, uh.........yeah....... and btw i used to drive a prelude.

You should learn your lessons before getting pulled over, because the day you go to fast, lose control, take out 3 people, 2 cars and a telephone pole, it'll be to late, you'll be charged with man slaughter, or maybe murder, you'll owe 10 grand to the city for the phone pole and the cars you hit, but most importantly, you'll have wrecked your 240!!!!! lol Anyways, have fun. :-P
