I leave my car high enough to get in and out of lots. But being another nc member im shocked the cop actually even blue lighted you, its not uncommon to see cars nearly on the frame rails and the cops wont blink an eye. The only time I seen a cop blue light and have a car(well minitruck) is when he dumped the bag and started a spark show right in from the cop.
Yes...kids nowadays are stupid.

well seeing as how im far from being a kid. being an ex cop myself, and now currently hold a career in the air force, i dont understand some of your guy's logic. just because you wear a badge doesnt mean thats your do whatever the **** you want card. there are a shitload of rules and laws that officers have to hold up to and theyre not allowed to pull people based on if they dont like a certain type of car. granted, that **** happens all the time and theres no escaping that. as far as "giving rx owners a bad name"...trust me theres not much more i could do to give us a bad name. between supra owners and rx7 owners. we have some of the absolute worst reputations in the car scene, always known for being arrogant ******.
and @vanhalen....i dont swerve into oncoming traffic or unnecessarily cut rediculous angles and all of that dumb ****. those are just dumb asses on cheap shitty *** wheels and cut springs and some lip that think cause theyre car is low on the cheap that they dont need to drive it like its actually worth 2 *****(and yes i know we all started somewhere, im not hating on the new guys in the car scene but they really do drive quite unnecessarily. so dont jump on my nuts about that one too). as previously stated, i drive with more than enough sense and i actually know all of the roads in my area where i drive my car at. now of course theres minor instances where there are unknown variables(ie. the entrance to oreileys, actually have work done on it to fix the hump in the driveway). i dont drive my car like im on an auto-x course. and i can more than guarantee you that even people that arent in the stance/hellaflush scene that dodge potholes and go at certain angles into places. cause guess what, even the guys that are tucking 275's in the back and 255's up front are still going to scrape on their fenders and would like to avoid ******* up their fenders because its not like theyre the easiest thing in the world to find. so go head and keep giving us rx7 owners our awesome reputation of being some of the biggest ******** in the automotive world.

Well i work on a place that does state safety inspection(Lehigh Valley PA)and if your car does not meet a certain amount of inches from the center of the bumpers 2 the floor it wont pass inspection so car wont be legal 2 drive.Cops around here know that so they do pull you over look at the stickers and see what inspection station and inspector inspected you ride and if the car got the safety sticker and does not meet ride height the inspector and station get fined.

if you are driving a car that obstructs traffic and safety than its a violation. You werent pulled over for being too low, you were pulled over for being a douchebag, lol
LOL@ having a badge doesnt give you the right to pull over a certain type of car. Most people with "that" type of car dont have all their **** together and deserve to get their ***** busted so they learn they cant just drive around anyway they choose. No violation? You go on your merry way and get to tell stories to message boards about how cool you are.

Your car is lowered to the point where a normal street becomes an obstacle course, you sport an "Insane stance and offset" logo in your posts...I assume that attention is exactly what you're looking for, so why be surprised that Johnny Law pays attention too?

@rob...if you would read...the cop told me directly that i was pulled over for being too low. his exact words. and the only reason i posted this is cause i was bored as **** at 0730 in th morning when i originally posted this. so you can go ahead and carry on being the perfect example of the reputation the rx7 community has.
@clokker- once again...assuming you read the rest of the posts in the thread...streets arent an obstacle course in my car, especially on 99% of the roads in my area. sure it rides a little bit rougher than a stock rx7 would, but in any vehicle that almost any driver is driving, if you see a pothole in the road.....idc if youre in a jacked up truck or a frame dragging import...youre probably going to try to avoid that. cause it doesnt matter what the ride height of your car is. a pothole can **** up any tire, rim, alignment, suspension components...whatever the case may be. most anyone to inclide grandmas are going to pretty much avoid any defect in the road. and i didnt build my car to get attention. i built it for me, wether people like it or not. if someone gives me props on it, cool...thanks. if they dont like it, i doesnt bother me in the slightest.

Sooo wait, now you are a former cop who intentionally created a road hazard in order to get back at a cop for pulling you over because you have a car that is so low that it in fact is at times a road hazard.
I'd think you'd have more respect for other officers or have respect for how dangerous driving and roads can be?

different people build their cars different ways. you may like yours to go fast, some may like theirs to handle good on the track, some like theirs to go sideways. i like mine to be low and look good. thats legitimate reason enough for ME to build MY car the way I want. ive got a bike to go fast, and an s13 to go sideways. i like my 7 on its nuts. so please explain to me how i deserve a ticket for building what most seem to think is a clean car?? its not stupidly obnoxiously loud, are of my safety components work, and its a legal vehicle all the way around. sure...it may be a little bit lower than most, but it doesnt cut itself across the road like most cambered vehicles, my alignment(toe/caster) is on point. ive got even camber on all 4 corners. its all around a safe vehicle. so your arguement is invalid

If there are driveways and parking lots which you can not pull into without creeping and at a certain angle you are a road hazard, and I personally don't want your car on the road cause I don't want to get ***-ended while waiting for you to creep your "stance" off the road.
Now if you want to trailer your car to some parking lot or track so that you can show off your stance...go for it. You can make your car as non-functional as you want, so long as other drivers aren't at risk.

well 99% of the driveways out in my area are perfect for any of our "stance" to get in and out of. and if youre going to get ***-ended as you put it, the extra 2-3 seconds it takes for me to get into places isnt going to make a difference. if someones already that far in almost rear ending you, its going to happen. i wouldnt be "in your way" for long enough for it to possibly effect that.i drive my car everywhere not causing issues for almost anyone. even pulling into said oreileys parking lot it only took me maybe 2-3 seconds tops to get in/out of there. so once again.....your arguement is invalid

3 seconds of someone not noticing when they are moving at 35MPH or faster is a good amount of distance. I'd think a former cop would know that accidents start or are avoided in fractions of seconds.
But keep on rationalizing how you are justified in doing whatever the **** you want on public roads.

right, and on the same note there are always at 2 different routes to go in case of an accident. and im assuming your jdm 13b vert is NEVER opened up on the street. you obey absolutely every law that your county/state dictates. to include emmision laws if applicable. because technically anytime someone pulled over on the side of the road is a road hazard as you put it, so being pulled over for any reason makes that a road hazard according to what youre saying

What's been done to the car isn't in question. Apparently it's all legal in NC.
It's when you do something out of the norm that causes a hazard to others. Which the police officer witnessed you doing. And then you purposely demonstrated the problem, again. We (nor the police officer) have any idea that you normally drive just fine. We only know of this one instance. Now if he were to pull you over just for driving normally, he is clearly out to bust your *****.
Ex. It's not illegal to drive 35mph on a highway. You move over into the fast lane because you feel like you are going fast. Changing lanes is not illegal, so you're still good. You used your turn signal and glanced in your mirror. You cut off a car going 75 because it was following the normal flow of traffic. SUV rear-ends you causing a 18 car pile-up including a gas tanker that burns down another freeway overpass. Those cars to also come plummeting down on top of the cars stacked up behind you. One of which also happened to be carrying a confiscated briefcase carrying an experimental version of the T-virus. Zombie apocalypse ensues.
I admit it isn't your exact scenario, but it's the same legal vs perceived dangerous behavior argument. I see it every day on my commute, minus the destruction of civilization as we know it. At least in Cali, you can be ticketed for that kind of thing.
A lot of people realize there are consequences to their actions. You're just one of the few complaining about it.

see what I did there?? You are now rationalizing that every driver should be prepared with 2 exit strategies for Dbag drivers who do whatever they want. They need to be defensive so that you can be offensive. I find that offensive
see what I did there?? I just wish you'd come out and say, "Other people need to accommodate my need to drive a partially non-functional car, even though it may put other drivers at risk."
About opening up my turbo vert, yes you are correct. When I'm in traffic areas I do not redline, I do not even chirp my tires.... and I generally stay within reasonable speeds. I even let people out in traffic and let pedestrians cross traffic in parking lots.
About emissions; comparing emissions testing with a driving hazard is apples to oranges. Sure they both involve cars and both involve laws....but that is about as far as that logic goes. For the record there is no E check in my area.
