So I go pulled over by CHP today on 101 in San Mateo and...

I was going to work in the fast lane doing about 70mph, the CHP pulled me over for window tint! Asked me for my L's, insurance, and reg, asked me if I have ever been into any trouble/tickets with the law..... The answer was I had a ticket in 2003 in my Explorer, and pulled over in Tahoe for passing a car without chains in the snow. He went back to his car and did what he does on the computer, he came back and said "thanks for being honest" now we get into the part where I about had a heart attack!! The CHP said, "what kind of mods/performance parts do you have on the car" I told him I told him I had a catback, FMIC, and a spt intake. He had me pop my hood and looked things around for about 10min, asked me to cloos my hood and get back in the car. Now he gets under my car and looks at my exhaust, come back to talk to me and say it's nice to see that everything is good to go!!!! I was so happy nothing for tint or the parts on the car.



This CHP was really nice and 23 years old, he had a 06 wrx and is selling it to get a new evo because his cop friends have them haha. I got off very lucky with a warning for my tint.



Have a nice day all!
