I got pulled Saturday night leaving Hot Tuna... I gunned it leaving a light for the hell of it and to vent a bit as I'd been arguing w/ my GF who's a bartender there.

Thought you import guys would like to know that the cop warned me about my exhaust being illegal in Va... eventhough my car is registered in NC he said he sees me at Hot Tuna all the time so he knows my car is driven here and the laws apply.

I could have gotten an exhibition of speed ticket, illegal equipment, and he could have made me take a breathalizer... he didn't. He told me this was the first time he'd seen me doing stupid shit, I guess they recognzie my car. Cop said cut it out and get on my way.

Anyway... thought it was odd... first time I've ever been warned about my pipes.

 

ive been warned for my truck, and all I have are flows

srt4s get popped all the time


I will think its fair when they start busting all of thoes annoying ass harleys.
I fucking hate that shit

 

Now, let's say you were a minority driving an import....

 

I'm still knocking on wood.....

 

Not gonna lie... sometimes being a clean cut white guy pays off. But in this case I'm willing to bet most anyone who was courteous, and could engage the officer in conversation so he could clearly see that I wasn't intoxicated, would have received similar treatment. Well, minus the fix it tickets for illegal stuff.

 

This thread would not have been made, as they don't have internets in lockups.

 

^ haha... no I was sober. I had 3 beers that evening over the course of almost 4 hours or so.

 

They'd tell him to grab his ankles.

 

Not the case for everyone. If I were driving your car I would have gotten a ticket.

And spread his butt cheeks.

 

I got out of a 89 in a 65 before because the cop liked my car. I think the main thing, though, is what Brian said about being courteous.
