I pull into a parking spot, turn off the ignition and take out the keys. He comes over and tells me he's pulling me over for front side window tint and no front plate. I'm think alright. He asks to see my license and I'm like okay. He then asks me what I've done to the car and I'm like nothing much. Pretty much stock, which is true, since I've taken a lot of parts off to sell. Either way, he asks me to pop my hood. Hmm okay. I knew he was thinking I got some illegal non-carb stuff, but everything is pretty much stock. I popped the hood and he says, "Everything look's stock in your engine bay. Your car's pretty fast stock yeah?" I said the car's alright. Then he adds "Well you put a lot of $hit on the outside" (most likely commenting on my rims, brakes, and exhaust).

either way, he tells me to wait for a sec and comes back with my window tint fix-it. kinda weird how he didn't even ask me for my registration though. I think he just forget about my front plate violation. funny thing was he had no idea what year/make/model my coupe was. goes to show how much cops really know about cars. guess this was due to my debadging.

I have had window tint for over two years now. 35% all around and I've driven by tons of cops and never got hassled. in broad daylight, and yesterday was freaking bright, my car doesn't even look tinted. i'm thinking it's because of how our cars look. my girl always tells me that people make assumptions when they see a young guy in a sports car.

anyways, i know it's illegal, so i take responsibility for getting the fix-it at all, but come on. either way, i ask my co-worker and he lets me know that this cop, every 1-2 months goes nuts for a few days to meet quota. when i called my friend at 5, he was just leaving work, and that same cop had someone pulled over at the same location was at.

no i truly believe there are quotas. how convenient was it that yesterday was the last day of may.

ahh well. more reason to trade-in this car. i stripped the front window tints after i got home yesterday.

i'm tired of getting revved at by everybody and their mom. yesterday i got revved at by an old 5-series.

S60R, here i come maybe.. heh

I'm sure these sheets are reviewed... and if the activity is not up to expectations, action is taken. So - quotas.
