Haha. Just another way to spend and make money.

Just when you thought they squeezed every last dime out of the auto industry...

 

Damn pig's. I guess they ran out of doughnut money again.

 

Pretty soon they will start give out tickets at the meets.

 

This is definitely possible. A County Sheriff asked me TODAY if my car was stock...it is and then he threw all kinds of stupid questions at me, like why i have an intercooler for the stock turbo.

BTW, he pulled me over because he didn't know 2k5 Impreza wheels were bronze from the factory and that our exhaust is single tipped.

 

fricken basturds have nothing better to do. Soo annoying, I have a sheriff that is a regular at work that will sign all fix's off but its still annoying. Its not really the PD's or the Sheriffs that look for ****. Its the damn chippies that have nothing better to do.

 

but ive noticed nobody cares about the muscle cars its just imports. sometimes wagons dont get tickets or audi's that in CO at least

 

that sucks, well if I'm gonna get caught, take me away for robbing a donut store, not driving my sti

 

Last Time I was in sac I got a ticket for Loud exhaust.... Got a buddy to sign it off.. But if they are getting trained on what to look for it's going to be hard to hide things now!

 

thats B.S....

 

thank god i dont live anywhere nere there my suby would for sure be screwed thats why i love indiana i guess no emissions

 

Wow that sucks for the californians... hopefully that BS can stay there and not bring it to NY
