Oh high reverse can be fun , you get going WAY fast ,, fucking BACKWARDS !!!!!!!

I have never had to deal with a 27 speed , 13 is the max i have EVER had to deal with .

The company i work for has 2 Volvos 440 450 hp i think , one truck weigh 65,000 lbs , the other ( with the 450 ) weighs 45,000 lbs , talk about power to weight ratio !!!!! that thing is a fucking 45,000 lb Porche !!!
Oh and one of our "drivers " has already ripped the rear end out from under it and put it nose down in a ditch !!!
" but I was ONLY going 40 mph !!!"
Yeah RIGHT !!!!!

9 speed x 3 behind = 27 + 3 reverse. A real joy hauling 4800 gallons of milk into NYC. Some people saw yellow cabs, I saw red...bastards.
Now the engines are getting so big they can use automatics in the lowlands but I wouldn't want to do the mountain states with one. That's moot anyway because I gave up my truck license when they went to CDL. Too much hassle with that damn thing. You get a ticket driving anything anywhere and it gets tallyed at home.

Ok. I'm going to jump to subject of JUSTICE! Today I was using the county paper for only thing that they’re good for. Place under deep frier to catch grease. OOpps I'd better edit my sig. or someone might drop a bomb on me.
Anyway, Back in past the HDlines were,
14 year old girl kill in auto wreck. Not much detail. A freind gave me a paper from another county. Guess who was in car? The mayor's son. It was his step daughter, who he was (anyway). Story is that he has 13 DWIs, but they never get to court. Yes Boss Hog Is alive. My great town is one of few that has radar, hell the county sheriffs in MS. can't even get one. Boombox law right. When they caught all the whites, they put it away. Before someone gets all out of joint, I have black friends & they know how to play the system here. Also the the sub cheif is blk. and a friend of mine.
The bitch is not only blind, but stupid.
If you have a problem with the law, courts, please try to find someone who knows the court clerk. Someone knows him or her and can talk to them. (I'm not talking about killing some sob.) The judge may be the bad ass, but if clerk never puts papers on his desk. You'll never go to trial. IMHO

I finally found out how the 13 dui thing works. It's the result of the plea bargaining system.

When you're caught, you're caught, it's hard to make it go away, but they can plea it down to a first time dui. So as long as the DA is willing to play the game you can get as many dui's as you want, and they'll all be first offense dui's.

Nope just never have it come up in court. Then it's not on any record. For insurance or other things

The spotlight is on Hammond at the moment, not as many tickets go away as used to. We get a lot of federal money so oversight is growing, plus a lot of people are moving from upscale areas into Hammond and they're starting to come into conflict with the GOBC* But give graft a chance and it wedges itself in wherever it can. It takes a while for money to spread itself around.

TS. I see your from the great state of LA. In which I lived and worked for many years. But did you ever spend 6 days in the Red River Parish jail, in Coushatta,LA. Boy try that for kicks. No nothing. Buy snuff from a vending mach. that was marked "not for sale free sample" About 3 bucks a can. Yes it must be great to go to LSU & have the world at your feet. Or perhaps N State?

SLU in Hammond actually. I've not been to prison yet, but I've been around a little. Military, offshore, owned my own business, near indigence; no rose colored glasses, but I've seen a few things.
