got pulled over.
just wanted to vent....
i was driving down near my house in Fremont. i make a left onto Washington Blvd from Paseo Padre and i see this Dodge Charger cop (these cars look mean as hell) anyways, i make a left and immediately he starts following me.. im like great.. (ive got the windows down cuz im listening to music and then..... i see ...flashing lights..oh great... i pull over, cops walk up next to me (there are 2 of them btw)
cop: you know why i pulled you over?
me: not sure..
cop: you have clear corners. no front license plate... hey do me a favor.. roll up your windows
me: (thinking ohh ****, great)
cop: ya thats wat i thought...can you pop your hood, are you turbo'd??
me: nope, and ok no problem
(btw my car is twice as flashy now that i have a CF hood and trunk, it prob added to the reason why he pulled me over)
cop: you have papers for that intake?
me: no, but ive got the CARB sticker in the trunk
cop: ok good, also whats with the exhaust, you have papers for that?
me: no but its HKS, under 95 decdibals, which i believe is legal..
cop: ok no problem, i am gnna ticket you for the windown, but the sidemarkers and front plate you should put on
me: ok thanks officer.
cop: btw, very nice car
me: =D
(through all this i was thinking, i want to go TT eventually but i doubt ill be doing that now, prob just see how much power i can get out of an n/a motor, considering the crackdown that fremont cops are doing, i just dont want to risk it)
story over, it just sux that i got a window tint ticket, though Fremont cops are **** about this stuff so i do understand. there lightly tinted nothing dark. ive got 35 all around
well thanks for reading.... and now im done venting

2 cops in different cars came to eat.
They went out of Chipotle and so did we.

One cop backed up into a tahoe, but the Tahoe had a tow hook so no damage but the Police cars bumber got f&%^&.
And the other cop went into drive but there was those cement block things and u hear a scraaaape.
