Yes, the city of Berkley gave me a citation stating that my White Honda was illegally parked, and that I need to pay them $35...and I've never even been to Berkley. Wow, all this time I've been thinking that I have a BO IS300

Never had my car been named another car.

But some kid in a 2nd Gen Integra(90-93) had his thumb down when they drove by me on the freeway. If I wasnt already taking the exit, I would have cruised by him, and took a Picture to show everyone on here, what a Riced out piecer it was.

All well, its bound to happen one day, just hasnt yet
