A ticket.

I turned left into a Chevron yesterday to fill my SC up.  Right inside hiding behind a wall was a bike cop, posted up for speeders. Right as I pulled in, I saw little piglet ears perk right up on top of his helmet as we made eye contact.  I situated myself next to a gas stall to fill up and he came over and yelled "LICENSE AND REGISTRATION", which I honestly couldn't make out the first few times due to traffic roaring by (probably speeding).
Apparently that left turn that I had been making for the last 2 years had been illegal due to there being 2 double-yellow lines, whoops.  He told me he could technically get me for being on the wrong side of the road as well b/c of my angling (bs) but only wrote me up for crossing the yellow lines.
Filled up, got the ticket from the piglet, threw all that behind me, and went on my way to santa monica to pick up a welded diff.. Somewhere along the way, I developed an immense exhaust leak and my cat seemed to have lowered itself a couple inches,  as I was scraping it every 10 feet.
No, i don't have ricer blue LED's, they're supposed to be white.
I'll run some seafoam through to make finding the exhaust leak easier, but I'm guessing the EGR or exhaust mani gasket.
smog to come soon, so I need to get this fixed by then.  Steering rack bushings have been ordered, welded diff is in my possession, and control arm bushings should be going in within the month.
