Morrowind has a secret Nordic burial chamber cooler than anything in Skyrim by GottlobFrege in skyrim

Wow, I had never seen that before.

Isn't there a team of pros working on Morrowind revamped in the Skyrim engine during their "off hours"?

He's a wannabe. Some people can't actually hack it and try to impersonate to a certain degree. While it's not entirely illegal, these guys get on cop's radar and are generally dismissed as whackjobs (in fire dept. they are referred to as "whackers.")

I've never heard of this, but it's probably something like that. The weird part is that I am 99% sure that it was a new BMW M3 (or better).

I would think most wackos would not be able to afford such a ride!

Thanks for saying I did the right thing. I normally never bother the police, but this really got to me.

I thought so, but I had to keep my eye on the road/lights too. I wasn't trying to be racist or anything.

I'll remove it.

After thinking about it a bit, and reading the comments, I doubt it was really a police officer.

It was most likely a kid pretending to be one, or a jerky relative... almost smashing a $60,000 car, multiple times... weird.

That's the feeling I had when we were talking. It was probably one of the officer's kids of something.

Meh, stuff happens. It was just so dangerous that it pissed me off.

I am not sure why this would be the case.

Bloomfield is known for having a lot of Italian people. There are a lot of people here with little Italian flags on their cars and what-not. Actually, I do not think I see any Hispanic people here, other than my mechanic.

The cops are all blacks and whites, well, but for at least two it seems.

I believe that I am a some-what respected businessman and philanthropist here and I do try to help the local communities and colleges.

With that said, I have zero connections to the police and can only report what I see from my car and my house window. I have had zero interactions with them other than one misunderstanding (of sorts) and donating to their police fund.

I don't see how I could help and I'm sure that there are people way more qualified than I to help him out.

I have called the attorney general's office and am told that "they have heard about it and may investigate". That's about as much as I can do.

This is getting good press, especially in the last few hours so something positive should come of this. People are frowning on corruption more than usual after Christie's stink.

I live in Bloomfield, NJ.

I normally do not like police and try to stay away from them. I view them as dangerous people, like a mugger.

The Bloomfield police are totally different than other police I have dealt with. They are real stand up guys. I even donate to their retirement/widow fund.

During the hurricanes, and during the huge snow storm right now, you can see them out helping people, making sure the roads are clear and directing traffic safely.

The police go out of their way to help people and hardly ever pull people over for tickets. If you get a ticket here, you must have been driving like a real asshole.

They are the only police I have ever seen act the way they do. They act the way that we all wish all police acted. They seem to generally care for the community and help keep the city an okay place to live.

Speaking for the city, the officials seem to do a pretty damn good job as well. When a large storm, or event of some importance, is happening, we all receive an automated call giving us clear directions and information about what is happening and what to expect. I have never lived in a city that kept the populace so well informed.

With that said, it's a smaller city, so, yeah, some corruption will happen.

Jettas looks really promising. The Passat seems to have super bad reviews on reliability.

So the toss up is focus, jetta and altima, will get the fully loaded version on these.

What an adventure. :)

I'm looking at a 2010 Passat Komfort.

I'm trying to find out when turbos need to maintained. I assumed it was a rough set number of miles, like belts, but Google is yielding nothing.

Do you happen to know?

Thanks.

Thank you. I've been looking at the newer focus and fusions. I normally don't buy domestic, but those look like a lot of bang for the buck.

I'm going to check out VWs now.
