Glad you are ok, it was an interesting drive yesterday.

Highway Patrol is nothing but a business and they were making sure they would get their money for the annual pizza party. He was going right on down the line handing everyone stopped tickets for failure to control. Guess there were no serious injury wrecks or matters to deal with. He seemed to be a miserable fella and I wanted to wish him a merry christmas but he quickly left as I pulled up. Glad you were alright Tjjeepjeep and looks like the purple wonder can be saved!

P.S. Getting to do some urban wheeling drifting with the trailer on I-275 was awesome!

The Columbus radio station said to trade insurance info if you had hit another car then call the H.P. and report it after you got home. So what were they planning on doing, sending tickets to people through the mail???????

Thanks everyone. I naively thought he was stopping to see if I was ok; then asked for registration yada...and realized not so much. The worst part of the ticket is that if I'd made the decision to drive a potentially unsafe vehicle on the highway (cause how the heck would I know); I would have been spared the $95. That's what is getting me. I was still there 2 1/2 hrs after it, so my 'fault' obviously.

I've had the car since August (I think); admired it since it first showed up at a CORE meeting. It's fun to drive and a 4x4 that gets 28 mpg. Ain't no way I'd get rid of it.

have no fear she will live to see another day. the quarter panel is the worst it will need to be pulled but finding parts for these cars is a hole other issue. all in all the fact that you were ok (and that the zuki was able to drive away

) is the important thing but the fact that the state trooper didnt ask how you were just that he wanted another ticket to put on his resume is just plain ass. what happened to PROTECT and serve must have been free coffee during that part of the class :mad:

Sorry about your luck, but glad you're OK; it's easier to fix cars than people.

Best wishes for the New Year.

Yes, that blows. You were looking out for the wellbeing of all, and you got screwed for it... Sorry about the luck.
