I learned a lot yesterday....

But probably the most important (sorry kara :P ) was

Don't tell yourself that the goal of the trip is to not get pulled over, because you just might... (twice)

Did you get out of it?

I never get out of it :(

Whad'ya get tickted for??...speedin'?

Did you take a trip to NERD?

Well, the first time i got pulled over (like 15 minutes away from my house, and literally about 2 after quoting my agenda of NOT getting pulled over for the day) He gave me warning, b/c I didn't have one of those expiration stickers on my license plate....dumb. I also don't have a plate on the front of the car, which i guess is illegal. I can't put one on the front because of the body kit, so i don't know what im gona do bout that one.


The second time was on the way back in mass, like 2 miles away from the CT border for speeding. He wrote me a ticket, but for 5 miles less than what I was doing. I also learned that my exhaust is illegal in mass. nice.

If you might have not been able to tell, i have this terrible tendancy to get pulled over a lot. LOL, this is my second time that i've gotten pulled over 2ce in one day. And it's always when im visiting mass- what the hay man???
I get out of them a lot, with just a warning- it helps to turn on the dumb cuteness :wuv:

And yes Jball, I went to NERD. Completely worth the whole ticket shpiel...

Awesome!!


Was NERD incredible???

I guess the exhaust was illegal b/c it was too large, not b/c it was too loud. *shrug* He didn't write up for it- he was really after me for the speeding.

NERD was totally, 200% incredible. I was waiting for Kara, and I was just mezmorized by the pet store downstairs! Crocs, reticulated pythons, chiclid tanks, turtles that i could pet, hanging iguanas.. and karas adorable kuckaburro (spelling plz??) She finally got him to talk... so cute.

Upstairs just took my breath away.. i couldn't talk except for the redundant "wow", "that's so cute", and "OMG". I was allowed to hold this amazing black-headed python, big guy (girl? i forget!) who was just beautiful.

but i gotta go to class.. im late!!

~deeply envious sigh~ This makes me awfully excited for those "somedays" I keep collecting! LOL I'm very glad you got to make such an awesome trip!!!

I remember those days.....my group of friends were all into modding cars and whatnot, amongst a lot of others in the area also....hang out in parking lots and stuff....get harassed by the police....for some time there was actually a special taskforce called the "lowrider patrol" whose sole purpose was to find and issue citations to illegally modified vehicles.....pretty lame! I kinda grew out of it, and now I drive my dad-mobile SUV!

I used to have a car that was fast looking, fast sounding and not that fast. i got pulled over more than 15 times in 5 months.

I now own a 240sx with a skyline engine. It sounds almost stock until you hit wide open throttle, then it becomes a monster. Ive never ONCE gotten pulled over.

My sister got 2 ticketsin one week. One for an illegal u-turn and the cop was going to let her off but she was being a smart a..... And then she got one for staying behind a MARKED cop when he was going 85 in a 65. Shes that dumb to think just because he's speeding she can..... NOT

My brother runs a 240 too with an s13 sr20det.....its actually much quieter than his stock motor was...something about those nissan turbos i guess.

Ok, I will bite. What kind of car do you have, body kit, non-stock muffler, etc?

I think that might be part of your problem heheh.... Also, drill two holes in the body kit, pop on a plate, easy enough. Luckily you can hold off on that until you get a warning, and then you have to do it :( or something.

Another option is gluing a super strong magnet to your plate, and then putting a magnet on the inside, might need a few of those, and real bar magnets, not those fakey ones :(

Okay people, you're missing the important part of this thread -- hearing about Kara and NERD's snakes! Where are the pictures?! =D

For the lisence plate issue you should be able to just lay in on the dash of the car in the front window...I know that's totally legal here in MN. I have a ton of buddies here with custom body kits on their cars, so that's what they resort to.

BTW I'm with Cass, no pictures? Pictures please!

Aww, Im sorry guys- i didn't take any pictures! I didn't know if I was allowed to bring a camera and take pictures of their animals :sigh2: I was thinking about it, but then i figured I would just go back again in a few months when I forget what something looks like lol.

There was a really adorable pied there named sharpie- lol he has little black smudges/spots that looked like he got attacked with a sharpie. SOOO cute! We watched kara fight off her mad cobra, make her kookaburra sing, and wipe out 2 rodents with style.
Tons of retics, monitors, some hots, iguanas, crocs, turtles, fish (seahorses!!)....
It was totally worth the trip/cost, and I would recommend you all to get your Arses down there to check it out!

Snakey- its a 2002 silver nissan sentra spec-v. it's alright, nice mods... but ide rather have my datsun 280z with a 350 swap :D

Awesome!!!

Hey Kara, can we see pictures of Sharpie oh please oh please oh please?! =D

LOL...yes, here's Sharpie...she is such a doll!

And for future reference, yes, photos are allowed. :) Now this gives you an excuse to come visit again!

By the way, it was a real pleasure to share these critters with someone who could appreciate the beauty of each & every one. :D

K~

Sharpie is too cool! :sweeet:

That's a tempting road trip! I've done MN to the FL Keys straight through, so that would be nothing. :) I'd have to bring along a mop with me though.


I'm sure I'll want to head up that way even more after I get my copy of The Complete Ball Python (which I ordered yesterday) and oogle at all of the pretty photographs I've heard so much about. ;)

Sharpie is quite a looker!

OoOoOoOooOOohh! She's gorgeous! Thanks for the picture! =D

And that's just awesome...snake Mom gets to brag in person on her scalekids!

My trip to NERD was breathtaking. Well it was kind off a half trip. After looking at all the animals downstairs, and buying some supplies. I go to leave the whole time I just figuered they just kept all those awesome snakes away and no one could see. Then I see the sign "Come take our tour". Well my dad was already out the door. And I took him 45mins out of his way, to see the only thing he dislikes most, reptiles. Well I left saying DAMN. The cuckoobarra was awesome. And they had some huge sulcatas. Really cool stuff. I missed the tour Grrrr. :( EDIT: is KLG Kevin from NERD? Does KLG work at NERD?
