Bro it’s so true! I am so used to speeding all the time here. I have never seen police doing radar here…Ever! and I have been here almost 2 years now! (in Greece only that is).
I speed here like there is no tomorrow. I’m so use to it I do it without noticing! No one here follows the speed limit, everyone goes as fast as they want!
On the Autobahn I have seen cops doing radar in some areas that do have a speed limit but people ignore it and then they get pulled over. Out of all the contries I have been in, in Europe I would say Austria and France had more radar traps then any other places in Europe.
2008

Drove my fathers 1/4 mile car, ran 9.92
Got my apprenticeship

2009
I just hope for good health and for things to get better within my life and my families. With everything going on with running a business and juggling my life…it gets hard.
Basically just want to be happy.
Car wise…Would love to finish my 87 S15. Swap the piece of shit 2.8 outta my 88 for my built 4.3. Build up my 240 slowly.
Get my license. Pass port, travel etc.
Oh yeah just remembered one pretty good achievement. I went from 290lbs in January to 228lbs now haha…done in 4 months, im back to working out now. Yeah I got fatbut I could curl 55lbs dumbells in january too (i cant now, I’m not going beyond 25lbs dumbells i dont want to get big). Being big/fat/overmuscled/whatever/huge = useless. My goal is 180lbs as I used to be when I was competing in amateur fights…
Got my 240 coupe on june 28th, fell in love with 240s
Blew my first engine and swapped in the second one by end of summer
Got my hatchback this november and fell even more in love with 240s
