Don't let your car fall into disrepair.

Why? Because you will get pulled over way more than you want to be, as I've learned tonight. I got pulled over for the millionth time for having a tail light out - except this time they weren't working at all.

Lesson learned? Stop Jerry rigging (sorry for anyone named Jerry) my tail lights, and fix them permanently.

At least I got a warning, because the cop was a cool guy.
