Atleast he sat through the green light reading a spicy hot text message from most likely this chick, and not frompassing out after drinking what was most likely cheap, boxed wine like LaRussa did in Florida.

He's in that band Sixx AM now, right?

They did “Life Is Beautiful” or something?

Yes, Sixx AM is Nikki Sixx's new band

As to their songs, if you tell me they did “Life Is Beautiful”, then I believe you.

He sat through a green light with two cars behind him?

Jeez, they must be polite in Arizona. Here, they’d be leaning on their horns about 2 nanoseconds after the light changed.

And why does he have an Arizona driver’s license, when he’s from Houston and was drafted by the Rangers?

And does this mean he’s been driving on a suspended license for 7 years?

I wonder who had to go pick him up, or if he took a cab.

The article was wrong. It was Texas that issued Nix’s driver’s license, then suspended it.

if a rental car is impounded for 30 days

does that mean nix has to pay a 30 day rental fee while it sits there?

I'm assuming the Reds just gave him a rental car

Probably a group rental, and assigned cars to individual players or roommates or something

Who knows really?

by Highlifeman21 on Mar 18, 2010 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

he had a license

It was just suspended. I don’t think they check, unless something goes wrong.

This happened to one of my coworkers. He drove through a red light on a snowy day, because he couldn’t stop. He got a ticket, but never knew it because he was in the midst of a move, and his mail didn’t catch up with him. He drove for years with a suspended license. He never had trouble renting cars or anything. He only found out his license was suspended when he took one of those driver safety courses. He wanted a discount on his insurance. When he submitted his paperwork to his insurance company, they found out his license was suspended.

it has been suspended since 2003

you are telling me that there is a state in the union that doesn’t require a renewal ever 7 years?

Driver’s licenses do have expatriation dates.

dunno about Texas

But here in NY, you only have to renew every 8 years.

My wife recently discovered that Ohio requires a renewal every 4 years on your birthday

she learned that a month after her birthday when she was pulled over for speeding.

Luckily she renewed that day, went to traffic court 10 days later (pregnant and in her Public Health Service uniform) and the judge dismissed both the expired license citation and the speeding ticket.

not for driver's license

If they do notify you, we didn’t receive anything.

yep

and since my wife never pulls out her license except when Johnny Law pulls her over, she didn’t know. She was just glad that it happened within 60 days of expiration. Things get much worse after 60 days.

you do get a letter from DMV here in NY

with the application to renew. (You can renew by mail or Internet.)

If you forget, things don’t get worse until you’re two years expired. Unless you get caught, of course.

i got my arizona license in 1999 and it was good until like 2036 or my 50th bday

the only reason i got my indiana license was because i was tired of cashiers bugging me when i wrote a check

i got paid minimum wage and i did minimum work for the company. I always did work hard for the customers though, because well they don’t need a shitty cashier with an attitude.

The FMM pays all bills online.

We now write MAYBE 10 checks a year.
Cash is king. When low on cash go the Debit card route.
Please cut up all but one credit card folks.
(We don’t even have one).
Debt is crushing our economy, both nationally and privately.

Checks cost money
Credit cards steal money from you
and overdraft fees should be illegal.

i like the comfort of having credit available to me

As somebody who spends my summers living from small paycheck to paycheck, and the rest of the year living off my financial aid, I don’t really have savings.

It is nice to know if there is ever some sort of emergency, like I have to get home in a hurray, something happens while I am traveling, I get sick, I break something expensive, I can cover it.

Just because I have credit available to me, doesn’t mean I have to use it. After watching my parents struggle with credit card debt I am not going to make the same mistakes they did.

sounds like a shitton of fun.

I don't use my debit card

Unless I have to. In fact, if I could get an ATM card instead of a debit card, I would. The only time I use my debit card is at my bank’s ATM.

You don’t have the protection with a debit card that you do with a credit card. The laws protecting consumers are much stronger for credit cards than debit cards. And if there’s some kind of fraud, it’s your money that’s gone. With a credit card, it’s the bank’s money. The bank may refund your money if you can prove debit card fraud…but it can take weeks or months, and in the meantime, your account may be frozen. With a credit card, they just give you a new card and a new account. Takes three days.

However, I never carry a balance.

I once had a problem with my visa-debit card

somewhere between Visa and US bank my money was refunded and I was given a new card.
