"But officer, it's a sedan, of course there is nothing illegal on my family car"

You - "I'm with the sedan"

 

LOL, that's what I kept telling everyone. Why would they want to pull over a sedan??

I even left the Recaro car seat in the back seat with the window rolled down to show off the fact that its a "family car".

 

cheaters!

 

aww that's a cute mod

 

Keep telling them Marcus!

 

^Haha, yeah and my family rarely rides in my car. We usually take the wife's car bacause she hates it when I angle across an entire driveway or the fact that we can't park next to another car and have to walk further to where we are going.

 

i think imma do tht too

 

once you guys do get pulled over leaving a show after showing your car at an event (HIN San Jose) from a couple of cops in an unmarked car, you'll than come back to the boards telling a completely different story.

this is probably another one of those times where, "if it didn't happen to me, it probably doesn't happen"

i understand that if you have not had this happened to you, you'll think that only people who rev and race out of a parking lot get pulled over.

the unmarked car pulled me over. he asked me why i thought he pulled me over. i said i didn't know. he said i was going a little bit too fast and proceeds to ask me to pop my hood. tickets me for illegal turbo and no front plate, but never bothers to ticket me for speeding. so exactly why do you think he pulled me over????

oh wells, i've learned better. you guys who go to these shows will learn too.

 

Of course there's always a risk, and I'm not saying it doesn't happen or won't happen. I'm saying that I saw a lot of people out there after the show that were attracting a lot of extra attention to themselves. We all have illegal mods, and we all drive around like that... if I get pulled over and they ticket me for all the non-carb parts I have, my tint, my exhaust and no front plate, well I have nobody to blame but myself. The cops might be "profiling" me as a racer or whatever, but bottom line is that I have illegal mods and I know it.

 

so the conversation didn't go like this?

Cop: "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

DrSifu: "Possibly because my illegal turbo, officer?"

Cop: "Bingo..."

how bad is that ticket gonna be???

 

So getting to the show I was pulled over for not having my front license plate on, I think I made it about 200 feet of the freeway ramp before I saw the flashing lights........however I have to give it to the cop........he made it quick, easy and funny.........so the conversation went somehting like this......

Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: No sir?
Cop: Front Plate.........
Me: oh good.......I thought it was because of all the illegal drungs in the trunk......... just kidding officer just kidding!
Cop: Linsece and registration........
Me: (inner thought) damm this is gonna suck........
Cop: Well sir heres your license and registration.......its a simple fix it ticket, once you put on your front plate on get any officer to sign off on it and your good............
Me: Any officer, doesnt matter what county or city......
Cop: Any.........either look for them at the donut shop or at a drug raid............have a good night and enjoy the show sir.......

About the show, sadly the show wasn't all that........however I like how G35's showed up in full force and represented!

 

haha some funny stories there. LOL at papa and Marcus. I have a babysit in my coupe as well and that didnt help me at the last HIN. Got pulled over for clear side corner, tint, and front plate. Not much you can do really. So far it seems that the cop target the attendees rather than those that show their cars. Just bring your DD or stock car next time if you are going to HIN. Not worth the trouble and the tension bringing your modded car.

 

^Geez they got you for clear corners, I thought they were legal as long as you had amber bulbs?

 

Well my bulb for the clear corner was LED, so it looked white instead of amber. This was in the previous HIN (pleasanton) and they had Fremont PD pulling people left and right using clear corner light as bait. The cops even pulled another stock G35 coupe and start comparing my car and his. I can tell the G35 guy was pretty pissed They also told me that my rear corner light was illegal because I had KS rear . They finally figured out that the amber light was embedded in the taillight and dropped the charge. Anyway pretty surreal experience

 

Ok, so here is a little movie i made...
