Caution! Please Read.

So Saturday night my girlfriend and I go on a triple date with her brother and his girlfriend and our best friend and his girlfriend to Olive Garden. As we are waitign for our orders he pulls out an article from the Boston Herald. It says that Boston Police in the Hyde Park area will be arresting the operators of any lowered vehicle, fining them and towing there cars . It also statest that Hyde Park will have a "zero tollerance" for lowered vehicles. It also refferenced T3 Motorsports as doing a lot of the illegal modifications (lowering of cars) and the mechanics are not certified. Massachusetts state law says that you are allowed to lower or lift your vehicle 2 inches above or below factory standards, but most police officers can't tell the difference between lowered and or slammed, especially when a car has a body/lip kit. I just thought I'd post this for us Bostonians that live in or drive through the Hyde Park area.

^I guess they are getting bored and trying to say that most of the lowered vehicles are tied into illegal street racing, but thats still no reason for them to opt of something of this measure.

Some of these cops are so dumb that they might tow your car thinking you are slammed just because you have a full body kit.

What about corvettes for example, they sure as **** are lower to the ground then our cars...so if we lower our car most likely it is still higher than a corvette...does that mean im going to get a ticket and the corvette(who is riding lower than me) is going to get away with no ticket?

if your allowed 2" just keep proof of what springs you got and show how much it lowers your car and then tell them to go smoke the rope

some of the cops drive modded cars/trucks too.
driving next to a slammed car, thats swirving left and right, trying to dodge pot holes, man hole covers and any imperfection on the road, is dam right dangerous . slammed cars cause traffic because they cant drive fast because of the bounceyness.
