yeah i cant beleive im helping this guy out.. if he isnt driving with safety and courtesy i dont want him on the same road as me. but i do know what its like to get booked for something stupid (was on today tonight in the height of P PLATER hating season 2-3yrs ago) . It sucks ass.

seriously... you shouldnt have parked in a handicapped zone... and if your friends were only 2 min i wouldnt turn the car off.. just roll around the carpark. none of this stay with the car bs..

if you were with it and it was still on ie keys in (idiot) or turbo timer (also illegal- car should not be on when ignition turned off) cop may have told you off anyway

Edit: just showing how it wont stand in court anyway

When the coppers say 'you'll get it in the mail' it's just a scare tactic. He was prolly laughing at you when you left.

HOT TIP: Leave your rear P plate on the parcel shelf like it fell down, when a copper's like wheres your P plate just look back and go 'ummmm it must of fell sorry I didnt realise'. I used to do it on my P's always worked and saved my being pulled over everyday.

Just as illegal as not driving with them at all.

A P-Plate must be clearly visible from 25metres away from the vehicle, when viewed from the front, or the rear, hence, why I can't put my green P in the rear window of the line. The window is too far tilted, especially with really dark tint (Legal tint)

As for the handicap thing. GET THE HELL OUT OF IT!

I'm sick and tired of going to the shops with my dad or what ever, and some soft cock P-plater is parked in the disabled spot and he can't use it (He is disabled!) Walk FFS! You are fully bodily abled!

Although, you will never get the fine in the mail at all.

Also, copper is technically never off duty. They're a civil servant IIRC, meaning, they're always on call.

The other day I parked at a mall and out of the probably 10,000 parking spots, maybe 5 were filled. I wrestled with my own mind but eventually bypassed the 5 disabled parking spots and hit the next available normal one. I am completely conditioned not to use them. I guess I don't need the recall stabilisation after all. :) (1984 reference for those who don't recognise it)

Also my Dad has the disabled sticker - with good reason - but sometimes he doesn't park there. He goes, "Oh there is probably someone more disabled than me." :)

Ha ha ha, at certain places my dad goes "I know I can park closer in a normal parking spot..."

But at certain places he uses them, other times he parks like normal.

Not always. I got a fine for a red light (which I never went through) from this fat troll cop not too long ago, they said "your fine will be in the mail" and guess what, it was. Assholes..

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
