I never said "fancy".

And as you said, 30mph or 70mph, each could kill you. If you want to regulate the speed limit always have a minimum and maximum. A slow driver is just as dangerous and as likely to cause an accident as a speeder.

if your car can handle endangering others' lives, then by all means you should do it often!
But it doesnt. I have a perfect driving record.

Judges like a guy who knows how to dress well. Basically be an individual and express your self when it comes to your stlye I perfer semi baggy jeans and cargo shorts, Nike athletic shorts, t shirts I really like a lot of the graphic tees at anchor blue, polo shirts, and sneaker usually something like nikes or pumas. A few don'ts 1. Never wear slacks with a tee shirt 2. never wear all black unless its like a suit you'll just look insecure and pathetic 3. don't wear skinny jeans or tight ass shirts thouse are for the hoes 4. Don't waer nothing but band tees 5. wear more colors that just black 6 don't wear super baggy clothes. Another inportant thing is hair don't have long hair or a emo hair stlye. Faux Hawks , buzzed head and similar styles are baller. As far as facial hair goes side burns,goaties and soul patches are dope.

I don't think you know what this word means (and I'm assuming you just typo'd by putting in "increases" instead of "decreases"). If I'm driving 40 MPH it takes me 1.70 seconds to traverse a distance of 100 feet. If I'm at 20 MPH it takes me 3.40 seconds to traverse that same distance. Now let's add an additional MPH to each. 41 MPH takes 1.66 seconds while 21 MPH takes me 3.25 seconds. The additional MPH at the slow speed has a larger impact on my reaction time than at the higher speed. That's pretty much the opposite of the common usage of "exponential". Unless you meant a fractional exponent.

I'm going to assume this is sarcasm. If not, I can disagree with several points. Not that it really holds a candle to most of the people on this board, but I had (and still have, I was being considered for management after working just 6 months at my last job) a pretty impressive resume at age 18, which included several management positions with different companies, and well as several leadership roles in high school.

Even though Jinx refuses to see himself in a good light, he has a damn good record too. Multiple certifications, leadership roles, outstanding customer service, etc. His customers would ask for the kid with the black nails and green in his hair. People would actually leave and not come back until he was working because they loved how he could explain the inner workings of computers to them.


I'll step off the soap box now. :lol:

Right, but those customers have had the opportunity to experience Jinx's abilities and for those abilities to overshine his initial appearance. That's not going to happen in traffic court.

I live my life by that thread. Thank you buddasmoker for showing me the ways of picking up judges.
