Addition to the "Worst cars that hit me up" List......
Crusing home on the freeway last night at about 80 just minding my own business, when a friggin honda Insight(?) ( the new crx-like hybrid) that I had just slowly passed swerves behind me and gets on my *** so I can't even see his headlights.... I goose it just a touch to increase the distance between us( LOL even barely goosing it gave us a 4 car spread). I let off and start cruising at about 75. He pulls up next to me and starts pacing me. I just sit there with my jaw on the floorboards amazed this hybrid muppet is actually tryin to race (The blue Ion bulbs he has add 50HP i guess :P). He decides to put me in my place and takes off about as fast as a quadropalegic could pedal a bike....
I didn't even think those hybrids could hit 80 mph...Needless to say I was too embarassed for him to even hit the gas pedal. I kept up my 75 and let him keep his ego intact.

Bah, you missed out on the last ticket, don't you feel excluded? Oh speaking of which, the sheriff
that I was hoping would hook us up with a write-off is giving us the shaft. He says before he'll sign it I need to get a front plate on the car...grrr what's the point if I'm actually gonna have to fix it. Sorry guys, I thought he was cooler than this....although he's not in a great mood cuz his daughter is being deported. Oh well...you guys come up with a strategy on how we should fight this? Mebbe consulting with Mr.Ticket would be good.

You can D/L the update, however...
you need to buy the $99 home interface kit. It's well spent in my opinion, especially if you own less than 4 programming slots. The interface kit and software allow you to choose which program you want in each slot. If you're like me and only bought two programs, you can decide to have any combination of programs (91, 93, 100, valet, stock-like)in your available slots. Pretty cool cuz it only takes about 15-20 minutes to yank the ECU, reprogram and replace.
