I doubt it that he is crying. He is probably mad for getting bombarded.

yep...

Hey, now I have a question about my car because I just got a ref ticket the other day about two weeks ago.

Should I junk my car or can I sell it to my dad, and then buy it back?

sweet!

I was also thinking about buying an old school rx-3 and put my engine in it and never have to see 'smog-man' again. The thing is though is that I can never find one in decent shape... anyone know where I can find one?

This just relesed today. Today only if you take your ref ticket into any local DMV office they will remove it from your record. They expect lines @ the DMV office to be long so all DMV offices statewide will stay open until midnite.

"how much cash do you have" is the question.

thats just to make u shut the **** up about that ****** i dont care if ur happy or not. and no i didn't get pulled over with that exhaust.

Im always chill with cops but I have never been pulled outta my car for no reason put into the back of the car and my car searched like that. he didnt give me any probable cause. just my exhaust.
Thanks, much more believable now, most people talk a lot of **** and can't back it up. The only thing I might recommend is if you were talking to the cop like you have been typing to everyone on this forum.... At least with that sense of an attitude they might not like it too much...

You could try that trick of selling it to someone else and back to yourself again. I haven't heard of anyone going that route myself. What I did multiple times when I was pulled over for throwing flames out the back of my FC coming off the freeway.... I had a straight pipe on the car for well over two years (except when smog came around) but I welded the shell of my cat onto the straight pipe. So when you look from the bottom it appears to be a cat there.

The couple times I was pulled over (really was but once or twice for it.) it was a slap on the wrist asking me to replace my failed cat. Everything out of my mouth was ' Yes sir, thank you for the information.' ' I will take care of that right away sir.' and the 'Sorry for wasting your time with this.'

Worked out well for me. I still would NEVER run a straight pipe if I lived anywhere near SoCal. From what I have heard from friends the refs at least around here are pretty strict about EVERYTHING being stock.

I sold my RX-7s a while ago so I could save money for a house, the second reason was being tired of being pulled over every night on the way home for no real reason. Besides being in a FD after 10pm-midnight and them having nothing better to do. I never really got much attention in my FC unless it was tossing flames on the freeway, or exiting.

The whole drifting fad wasn't huge around here until I was selling my FC. Thats likely why the cops started pulling me over in the FD.. but can't be sure, my exhausts were all nice and quiet/Looking OEM for the most part. I have never been one for wanting any attention. Everyone getting pegged for all these tickets... it might die down once the trend /drift scene goes out of style. Or until they impound/ban all cars from the road. Whichever comes first I suppose.

Best of luck.
