Np, just showing you a picture of a properly functioning moonroof because I didn't know which piece you meant specifically wasn't moving (although you said above the rear seats so I pretty much knew) and you could see and compare with your own to know it's working properly, etc..
So I sort of had a random and quick question. On Thursday, I got a BS speeding ticket + HOV violation (trying to drive home and every1 is driving slow, I take the express exit for the first time stressed from school and I am going 70+ and I get pulled over). Its like a $235 ticket, and attorney costs are $300, so if they can dismiss it its all good.
I searched around the forum and couldnt find anything, but I was wondering what radar detectors you guys use. Someone told me they are still legal is WA.

^ sorry dude, I did get tickets as well, and also got radar detector. Saw u are 17, and I understand its hard to follow the speed limit lol, but nothing can beat the cops radar gun. U gotta be careful when u decided to speed. Its all about experience. Anyways, don't speed is my advice 
IMO, attorney's cost > insurance cost raise, but if the attorney can fight the ticket, then its worth to give it a shot. Usually, u should be able to fight the first ticket. Good luck!

I would at least call and ask an atorney, they should be able to tell you pretty quickly if they can fight it or not. Gotta tell ya though shounds like you might be better off mititgating it down...
The attorney said that the ticket should be able to be dismissed, especially that the court is in Shoreline. They said the two judges there are both very nice and very reasonable. My dad has had an attourney clean up a few tickets for him, and he is charging me $300 for it. He says he has never not gotten a ticket dismissed at the Shoreline court, so. He says the speeding part will be the easy part, but getting the HOV will be hard because there is no denying it. But he said that maybe they will just clean both. But as I stated, he says theres a good chance of getting it cleared off.
I have learned my lesson, dont drive when you are stressed. Today I was driving a little fast because I took something for a workout (has caffeine and other stuff in there to help your workout) and I was taking backroads and I was a little excited but I hit the gas a little but saw a cop to my right. He turned behind me and I think ran my plates. He seemed chill and it wouldve been a dick move to pull me over for doing nothing. But nothing happened thankfully (he turned right, I turned left). I gotta be more careful though..

Thanks! I've loved my tc so far. I can't believe I just found this site. My poor tc is very stock and basic, ex didn't want me/wouldnt change anything on my car and I don't have the skill or tools to do it
Do it as in get the xb? Its very tempting I'm waiting till I finish my degree so I can get the extra 1k off and I've got a few pretty big life changing decisions make here soon (stay in washington and buy a house or leave here and move to arkansas and be unmployed for who knows how long) so I might stick with the tc a little longer.
