I've been reading a lot of threads since I got to this forum about stupid tickets. Now, sure, I've gotten a few stupid racing tickets in my day, but the other day I realized how LAZY the cops around here REALLY are (or stupid).

I was driving my RX 7 home for the first time from a friend's house. Risky for lotsa reasons.

First: The tags have been expired a LONG time. The big shiney sticker says Nov 2002.

Second: I had one taillight that was SLIGHTLY unplugged, so it only worked when it wanted to (Damnit, why does it keep saying STOP LAMP?)

Third: It was stalling at a lot of intersections. When it didn't stall, it chugged trhough first gear (had to slam the gas to keep it from stalling)

Fourth: When it stalled, and started back up (fifteen minutes later once) there was smoke. Not a lot, but there was smoke.

Fifth: The cat is blown to hell, and possibly disconnected. The exhaust has holes all up it. So it's louder than hell.

FIVE cops on the way home. Not ONE pulled me over for ANYTHING!


Damn, I love New Mexico.

 

they felt sorry for ya.

 

That's likely. Considering what my car LOOKS like. I was sure they'd pull me over for just HAVING clear taillights, though. They've done that to a friend of mine.

 

YEah what is up with that light...taht happens to my 7 sometimes.............. it lightly flashes STOP LAMP sometimes...Why the helll does that happen?

 

You either have a light bulb burnt out, or the electrical connection is loose.
