Texas BS Thread

I got dinged for a red light at mockingbird and 35, man it pissed me off it was no where near red.

Then i watched the video, i ran the shit out of that red light. Oops.

 

Happened to me too, thought I made it through, but was actually more than 1 second late.

Dalworthington Garden caught me doing 53 in a 40 recently :/

 

I literally just went through all of this with the them (Southlake). They also make it especially difficult to get the study results without a lawyer (even though it's public record). There are dozens of ways around it, including the fact that they're unconstitutional by assumption of guilt.

I used to watch cars get rear-ended almost weekly at an intersection by my house years ago because of the risk of a red light ticket. Several of those cars were pushed out into the intersection as a result of inertia, causing larger pile ups from cross traffic. When I asked the Southlake peace officer about the safety of me/my passengers/the other drivers as a result of slamming on my brakes, he shrugged and said, "That would be unfortunate, but the law is the law." You could clearly see the Mercedes hella riding my ass in the photos they got!

I took that as a promotion of reckless endangerment. Obey the "law" and possibly fatally injure or kill someone, or pay an illegal fine to the city in order to increase my chances of safety.

I get really fired up about this, but I'll end it here.

 

It's never been about safety, it's a money grab for the city.

 

I understand that, I'd just rather them admit it than advertise it as a way to make commuting safer.

 

I'd rather they go away altogether. I've seen some articles about some state govvie types discussing it, but so far it's stuck at news outlets making noise.

 

Might be going down this weekend to help with cleanup efforts in Houston. Peeps from Houston how are the resources out there? Should I bring my own water and food?

 

Hey Kevin @Kolunatic . Not the same Axis that roam through your back yard but still a fine Texas product.

 

How is it?

 

I'm still waiting if we're going down there for work

 

It's good although I still prefer the Oskar Blues IPA out of Austin.

 

So far I've experimented with darks and won for the most part. But I haven't been so lucky with the lights. I have Miller high life in garage fridge

 

Oskar Blues definitely started in CO, they brew it in Austin now but that's a Colorado beer

 

What I like is now I can find it less than 30 days old. Age is a killer of IPA's.

 

Just came back from Port Arthur. Never seen anything like that. Whole towns destroyed. We did what we could to help the homeowners. Piles of furniture, building material, etc on the sidewalks.

 

Any of y'all interested in an RTT? We have a few openings due to drop outs. Check it out here

Dammit.. thats mighty tempting but im saving for a supercharger

 

It's cheaper than a SC, so you save money.

 

Sooo true my friend! Just not sure how much id use it.. i know with a s/c id be making it whine everryday!

Thanks for the headsup though! Someone should jump in on that! Great deal to be had for sure

 

I'm just jealous. Love that SC whine almost as much as I like to hear turbos spool up.
