LOS ANGELES -- Officials say Los Angeles motorists can disregard red-light camera tickets.
The last red-light camera citation would be issue Sunday if the City Council votes to end the program.
Police Commission executive director Richard Tefank told the city's Budget and Finance Committee on Monday that the tickets are part of a voluntary payment program and there are no consequences for drivers who fail to pay fines.
The committee has urged the City Council to endorse an earlier Police Commission recommendation to end the red-light camera program. The council was deadlocked over the fate of the program last month.
The Los Angeles Times says the committee also recommends that city agencies work with camera system contractor American Traffic Solutions to remove equipment from 32 intersections.
Does this apply only to LA county? I hope this makes it up to Sacramento! Ive never got a red light ticket before but still...they make me nervous when i know they are present lol...

lol cause it will probably go for nothing! sigh....

Not to mention most all cars coming from japan have major rust repairs or NEED major rust repairs...living in that kind of climate/close to the ocean is horrible on cars

We are extremely lucky to live on the west coast where we are...not NEARLY as many problems with rust...

I don't want to make a whole separate post here on it, but I know at least one of you guys works in a body shop so I figure you might have an idea on this and wouldn't mind replying to it in the thread https://my350z.com/forum/cleaning-an...-hardness.html

Go get a claybar kit
Used one for the first time a couple months ago and it worked pretty well.

If that was aimed at me, I already have one I need to get 23K miles of paint swirling out though and was trying to find out how soft/hard the paint on the 08's was so I don't use too aggressive a product on it.

I do have a claybar.

Claybars dont really take out scratches or swirl marks though, they are mostly for removing contamination/crap from your paint...like lets say debadging your car...perfect example of when to use a claybar...

I dont really have any Grime or crap stuck to my paint...i keep my car pretty clean for the most part. I usually try to wash my car once a week or every two weeks at the most...

Lately i havent been doing it that much but then again i have been carpooling every day to work...so i rarely drive my car unless i wana go have some fun or pick something up at the store lol
