its not a gamble. if you aint ******* around, then its how you represent yourself and be sure to show pride of ownership (blood, sweat and tears and lots of heines LOL) . Be sure to have your classic insurance handy which is a proof that the car is driven only on special occassions and less than 2,000 miles/year. Unlike the rookies (example is Pacman-Sean Penn-fresh off the academy), veteran cops know whats up.

I never get hazzled by Rampart/Northeast Divisions, Glendale and Burbank. In fact, while getting gas (before the LA 7stock caravan), LAPD gang unit in a Suburban gave me the stare but props at the end. Batang L.A. FTW

yup, Hagerty.com. $300/year full coverage. thats cheaper than a regular liability insurance. but I;m not sure if they will consider "RX-7" a classic car lol

i'm not bsing either

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg5036.pdf

I have to disagree with that. my buddy with his FB with SP/48IDA got popped, paid the fee and sold it 2 years later. New owner was able to transfer title without any issues.

...ah, when i got my reff ticket i went to pay the fine... the stuoopid newb officer wrote the wrong violation code. The ticket was re-printed (without the reff required sign off) and my cousin who is a CHP signed it off. I went to court and showed proof of correction and payed $40


but.... not everyone will be as lucky as me. My bail was $600... or u can make it stock and get it signed up by the ref and just pay a few bux for the inspection. If you decide to make it stock and get it signed off keep the reff papers with you in your cr so if you get pulled over again they wont hassle you. My cousin is a CHP and he just took the "street race task force class" and he said there is not one thing in there that has to do with rotaries so dont believe any CHP's who tell you they know rotaries, you shouldve asked him to point out your valve cover

it's true the chp approached a veteran rotary mechanic i know to teach a class about modified rotaries, and he told them to **** off

but you know money talks, maybe another shop spilled the beans and screwed us
