Beware of Irvine...
In case none of you were driving on the 405 N last night…
I was finishing dinner at my boss’ house and I decided to call it a night. I proceeded onto Jamboree from UCI area. My Jay Chou cd was on and I was feeling pretty good…so there was no need for speeding. I’m getting on the 405 when I see lights behind me. I’m thinking to myself…HA…some idiot is getting pulled over. Well, it turns out that I am the idiot. I knew I wasn’t driving like a mad woman so I was pretty calm. The police officer approaches my car and he starts asking me about my gauges then he makes comments about how much he thinks I put into my car. Then he tells me that he pulled me over because the light above my license is out. He then told me that he knows that there are parts on my car that shouldn’t be on there. I followed orders and popped my hood. The P.O proceeded to try to open my hood. He came back to my window and asked how to open it. I told him that it is like opening a stock hood on any car. After he tried a few more times I got out of the car and opened it for him. That is when he started with his comments on how much he thinks I spent on my motor (15,000-25,000.00!!!).
Police Officer: So,…How much money did you dump into this?
Niki: Ohh…hardly anything really.
PO: Yah…sure…a good 15 thou to 25 thou…and that’s how much it will be to get it back to stock again.
Niki: There is no way that this motor has that much money put into it.
PO: So…where have you been racing lately?
Niki: I don’t race, I go to work and school…ask my b/f. I have no life.
PO: Then, why invest all this money into this car, what a waste don’t you think?
Niki: Um…there really isn’t that much here.
After that little convo I went through with him what I had in my car. I spared a few details because I don’t think he understands that there is a huge difference between my “RS” and stock ones. Anyways, he had one of his partners meet us out there…soon…I would have 2 black and white cars w/ 2 police officers looking at my car. Before PO2 showed up, PO1 pulled me to the side and said, “Like I said before I know you have stuff on your car that you shouldn’t have, but because I have a soft heart for the past 15 minutes I have decided that I am going to let you go. Do understand that anyone else would write you a lot of fix-it tickets and that is something that can add up. I’m going to have my partner come take a look at your car. He specializes in monitoring street races and cars like yours. Lately we have been having the street races on the west side of Orange County. We will pull over any car that looks suspicious.
PO 2 was pretty cool. He said my car looked too heavy and nothing was gutted out so that he doesn’t think I use my wagon for racing. He said it looks like a daily driver to him…yada yada yada.
So…everyone beware when in Irvine. Apparently Irvine cops are cracking down and they will pull people over and make you lift your hood. Once again the damn street races are ruining it for all of us. Aiya.

replace Irvine with Fremont and you'll have norcal in a nutshell.
I had a 2.5RS with no mods 5 years ago and the officers ran me through this:
PO: So where did you get this car?
Me: the dealer
PO: Thats a pretty big exhaust tip there, mind telling me where you got it?
Me: the dealer and that is a stock exhaust.
PO: Mind opening the hood?
Me: Sure
PO: So whats going on with the engine
Me: it runs great.
PO: so why are there red spark plug cables?
Me: I got those from Kragen because my other cables got cut.
PO: How?
Me: Changing the spark plugs.
PO: Thats a pretty big wing back there
Me: I do have to admit that it is bigger than the average.
PO: So where did you get it?
Me: the dealer
I hated getting stopped like that, but that turned out as one of the most hillarious experiences i ever had.
