And so here it goes...

I'm sick of it. I got pulled over again, and I'm over it. I dont have a record and havent gotten a speeding ticket for over 3 years and I cant stand getting pulled over or being nervous everytime I see a cop, so I'm done. I've made the decision to get rid of my car. I love my car, I love driving it, I love modding it, I love hanging out at DB with Paul, and talking to everyone on I-club, but I just dont think that I should have so much contact with law enforcement when I'm just driving home from work or going to get something to eat. I know there are a lot of people on the boards that drive around all the time and dont deal with this ****, but the thing is, I do. I'm not driving around like a jackass, not speeding, not being a young idiot, because of the simple reason, that its not the type of attention I want. But I am driving my car to work, or to meet clients, or to go hang out from time to time, and as I'm putting along, I get pulled over. So, this decision is a hard one, and not one that I would like to make, but its done. I dont know if I should sell it with all the **** I have on it or put it back to stock, but I'm just fed up and I cant deal with it anymore. I have a lot of new parts, over at DB that I havent even gotten put on yet, and frankly, I dont know where to start. This sucks, but I'm done.

parting your car out is a PITA but it's the only way you can truly hope to recoup your expenses.

I'm sorry, man. That sucks, but it's becoming a reality with the levels law-enforcement is bumping up to on enforcement, especially when they're profiling

you'll always lose more money if you sell the car with everything on it.

That being said, you may want to try just swapping the stock catback or axle back on there. It doesn't hurt performance that much.

Just stealth it, or de-mod it, it's still a fun car to drive de-modded.

I agree... just stealth it hardeep, IMO it's not worth selling the car. What I would do is keep the appearance on how it sits now, then put the stock exhaust(or damn near stock looking/sound) and don't get **** without da sticka!! don't let the man win!!!


I think roseville P.D. is out for modified cars... When driving to school I was getting mugged hard in my camaro, I almost never get looked at in my camaro, infact the cop came to a dead stop heading the opposite way of traffic and waiting for me and this del-sol to go from the line. Which I don't get, cuz there was no way in **** I was going to race him
