Nice reuse, cutting down on waste and cost all at once.

Bruh $500 for a ticket lawyer in Austin? That's wild to me. I paid $300 for one when I got caught doing 85 in a 65 on I-35 and thought that was steep. But if he got it down to nonmoving then your insurance probably didn't take a hit right? My buddy just paid his $250 ticket outright and his premium went up like $40 a month for two years. So that $200 ticket really cost him way more in the long run. You probably came out ahead even if it stung upfront.

Man that sucks, hope your beans turned out okay.
