Calling all Toyota owners in the Lynchburg and Charlottesville and surrounding areas!

^ That never gets old.

 

Well, I got a Reckless driving ticket last night for doing 103 in a 70 on the 29 bypass. I'm a dumbass. I was only doing that speed for maybe 2 seconds as I came down a hill and coasted back up, but still the dumbest decision I've ever made. Right at the last 10 minutes of my 3 hour drive from West Virginia after a day that started awesome and ended up being majorly disappointing. My first ever ticket or time being pulled over and really one of my only times ever even speeding. My life is over.

 

In the tacoma??

 

From someone with a reckless ticket on their record do whatever you need to do to get is reduced. They stay on your record for 11 years. I missed out on several jobs b/c insuring me as well.

Good luck and get the best lawyer you can afford

 

It goes away after 5 years, I got one when I was 16, 131 in a 55; had to spend the weekend for that one with community service. try your best to get it reduced.

 

Yeah, in my truck.

Stephen, that's not what I want to here :/ I wonder how ruined my insurance rate will be?

Brandon: Was this in VA? How was your insurance after? What was the process?

 

No SC, and yes insurance skyrocketed, can't recall how much it was though

What the heck, 103 in that tacoma?? Lol

 

Reckless in va is 11 years, got mine 2 years ago

Holy shiiitt, been that fast but never caught. Mine was 105 in a 55

 

That's ridiculous, 11? Why not 10? Wtf. Sc is 5 years, I got 1 ticket in sc and that was it, multiple 5-7mph over here in va

 

Yep ridiculous

 

That's literally the top of what this truck will do.

And like I said, I was going down a hill. It wasn't like I was racing or just generally driving fast. Ridiculously steep hill.

 

See if they will let you take the driver improvement class, that is what they offered me after an accident I had. Took the day long course and they removed all charges and points. Like it didn't happen. Insurance was involved so that did not change.

 

The class might be mandatory. I got two speeding tickets and both times I had to go to the class. My wife got one right before she left to come over here and she took the class three days before moving here. I wouldn't be surprised if they say take the test at DMV again as well.

 

Enzo I came acrossed this thread where you posted a pic of your tacoma with your tent and awning set up http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/222453-need-help-deciding-awning.html . What kind of bedrack did you have in the bed, like how tall was it above the bed? Did you just move the tent more to the passanger side to make room for the awning or is the tent centered?

 

All this speeding talk, wowsers! Glad I've never gotten clocked at those speeds...

 

I had a Thule Xsporter 422XT. I can't remember how high I had it set but it would go a lot higher. I think I did have it off centered a bit because I wanted to get full use of the changing room.

 

I don't understand, I was gonna say upgrading? But you getting rid of seat covers?
