...home that is.

Just got married followed by a 2-week vacation in Florida! Great times, and we have now fully decided to move back down there (I originally grew up in the Tampa area) as soon as humanly possible.

So here I am, and I've been jonesing for Camaros the entire time! So besides the release of some production SS pics (I didn't read the entire thread, so if something changed let me know), what did I miss?

Oh and on a sidenote, the world has the worst sense of irony, doesn't it? My area is full of drivers that just refuse to believe traffic signals apply to them. I'm constantly ranting and raving at them for running red lights or the like. And when a light is yellow I will lay on hard brakes to avoid running a red, right?

Well last night, after a ~14 hour trip from Tampa to DC and 2 hungry cranky kids want some pizza before they go to sleep, and the Pizza Hut says 1.5 hours of delivery, I sigh and pick up the keys to get the pizzas...and in my tired rush I casually roll through the stop sign out of my apartment complex (which should be a yield since we do have a warm up lane running 200 feet up the road) and get a summons.

My first ticket in years. I can't win for losing sometimes!

Sorry to hear about the ticket. That sucks.

Congrats on the wedding!!! Very cool!

I was gone also and when I came back there was like 4 pages of new posts... I'm still trying to catch up.

Yeah, I

the police, but they always seem to catch us good guys doing bad the 1 time that we do anything wrong. It sucks but it happens all the time. I got it for speeding, i wasn't even in a hurry.

Wow, a ticket for rolling through? He must have been told to give out as many tickets as possible. Is your city running out of money?

Should move to CA. Those stops are called a California Stop for a reason. I always stop at least 3 seconds, but most people just slow to 10, maybe not even that.

Grats on the ball and cha......errrr ring.

And Welcome back!
