I bomb around in my M5 at around 140 Km/H though playground zones and residential if I'm feeling super cool. Otherwise, I take public transit.

What a timely topic.

My son recently had a professional photo taken of my car.

Your son was speeding... he's a monster!

I am posting this because my 2003 Vibe (Pontiac damn it) is the worst named vehicle ever!

Truth be told I've had my share of those photos, but it's been some time since the last one.

I made him aware of the infraction by posting pic on Facebook and tagging it with his name....

Amazing thing is, that's 16 Ave at 10 St NW... and no other vehicle in sight.

That is weird, judging by the shadows it is early evening on a nice clear night.

I couldn't remember that intersection until you mentioned the address. I used to know Calgary like the back of my hand. (20 yrs ago)

That liquor store used to be a laundry mat and that corner would flood every rainstorm.

To me it looks like a clear Sunday morning.

There is a 2nd shot, a close up of my plates.

Time was 19:43:49, Tuesday, Aug 10 Eastbound on 16 Ave..... only reason I knew it was my son and not me, was the date.

Their son was born the week prior & I let them borrow the car. I had made the 16 Ave trip too - to see my new grandson at Foothills hospital (he was in NICU) But according to my daytimer the 10th was the day they returned the car.

Fight that ticket, you stand a very good chance of getting it thrown out.

I can tell you that that particular intersection's camera has never been working properly, it basically goes off randomly and myself and a ton of people I know either have been caught innocently or have seen it flash at times when it is impossible that anyone was speeding or going through the red.

They've had so many problems with that camera already that if you plead not guilty it might not even make it to the courtroom.

A few more pictures of my former love... considering she's such a hit around here I'll provide some pics of this hottie. Next time these cost money though...

Honestly, I'd take one of those (or the generation after) over any of the crap that Chrysler is producing these days. Their minivans today are just terrible.

Those Mini vans saved Chrysler and made Lee Iacocca look like a genius.

I bought 2 new Chrysler products @ 0% and haven't had any problems.

I have a personalized plate, it's pretty clear in the zoomed in shot. There are only 250 of these cars in Canada (mine is # 82) and less than a dozen of them in Alberta.

Besides, it's really not hard to speed with 350 hp.

Starting tomorrow i will be driving around with my name plastered to both sides of the car; so I don't mind having my plate # on the web....

Here ya go.... can you read it? Let the jabs begin....

I'm too lazy to go down to my garage and take a pic, but I just recently bought a new Audi A4, looks identical to this:
