Basically the same as "If you cant do the time, dont do the crime" but on a more military scale.

Ahhh lol no where I live in NJ its woods...endless woods...theres literally a road that is FLAT straight for 50 miles that there isnt one gas station or single building from mid jersey to south jersey that you cruise 155 all the way down its almost always deserted. Its a rush. no cops sit on it either because its pointless theres no one you could possibly harm. Its like the US Autobahn.

Like I said in one of my previous posts I ONLY ever run speeds like that on closed roads or roads i know i can only do damage to myself.

Otherwise i keep it on the track. Even there 133 is not enough :)

Yeah I'm not too worried about it. I've been in a should of died accident as the paramedic put it "Kid you survived by an inch...if that much less." when I went head on in my Integra vs a Jeep Commander SUV...head should of went out the driver side window which would of been a broken neck and cranium damage...aka died. MY airbag thru me into the side panel.

I just guess i look at it as if God wanted me to die in a Car wreck he'd of done it the first time. I just love the rush of the wind ripping thru the car at 155....its....amazing.

You got some big plans, sir... I'd think all those mods would run you over $10,000 (all put on within your first month?). If I ever acquired all of those sorts of mods, it would be because I couldn't afford something in the 30-35K range when I bought the car... If you have that kind of money to drop, why not look into something sick straight out of the lot where you could do smaller stuff to make it your own while still keeping warranty. Like an EVO/sti with exhaust and wheels or something...

Totttallly just my way of looking at it, do what you will.

And btw, I'd hang onto that warranty as long as you can... Mine has no mods really, and has been to the dealership quite a few times for creaks and such.

I had an experience like that. The salesman said one thing and said a different thing later on. I corrected him and he came up with an excuse saying that he never said anything like that before. While everyone was checking out the new civics and the accords I got up and yelled right at his face and said "are you calling me a ******* liar?!" and went off on him. He turned pale and everyone at the dealership that went to go buy new cars just kinda listened to what I was saying and left. :)

I was buying an Evo IX for 27,500 before I began looking at the Si's but I went to the dentist and apparently my 1 tooth is going to cost me $2,005 and i was shocked so it ruined my plans so i have a spare lump of change that was going to be used to buy the Evo. I was going to dump it all into the TL but thats not necessary because of the miles on my TL so i want something new.

I could technically just payoff the Civic Si at 27,500 right out of the lot. But I I like the 6,000 loan which is easy to pay off and keep my credit golden.

even transactions close to 10,000 can be reported if it looks funny, i worked in a bank from 1986 to 1992. i hated filling out the ctr form (currency transaction report)

so, for example, if i made a money order of 100K, the bank would tell the IRS?
