Bar, Tires, and Cops Oh MY...

Miracle Worker · 09-28-2000, 10:16 AM

Formula for trouble. New Potenza RE730's, Whiteline Adj. Bar, and a 2.5RS. Ever since i put them on I can't seem to take corners slow anymore. I love pushing it! Well I'm at a light waiting patiently for it to turn green. I'm going straight; however, its a quick left then right to go on that road. Perfect to see how she handles. Light goes green. I didn't drop it but i let her take off. I shot through the intersection, quick left, quick right as the cars in the other lane are astonished how the car sticks (or wandering what kinda ******* is driving like that). In my rear view i notice a cop car pull out. I stop at a stop sign, wait, then turn right. Just as i do that he lights me up. I quickly roll down my windows (tinted) and await the verdict. The officer asks me why i didn't slow down when i went through the intersection. I told him i was stoped at the intersection (his view was blocked by a building). He looked at me weird then looks at my windows and my 9 inch sunstrip. "are all the windows tinted?" he asks, as he starts to really look at my sunstrip. I thought to myself, "I didn't pay $180 to get all my windows tinted just so i can peel it off". He walks back to his cruiser then comes back in a few minutes. I notice he only has my info. He's not carring his reciept book. He tells me to slow it down and lets me go. I tell him I'm sorry my car handles so well.

had to get that one in.

You know, I could of had to of taken my tint off but he let me go, so i think i will slow it down. Just for a little though

My condolences to all those who wern't as lucky.

Congrats on the escape!

You ought to send a Thank You letter to his department. It really does seem like the exception when a cool officer pulls you over.

Most of the time we get the mustachioed egomaniacs who threaten jailtime for a criminal 12 mph over the posted limit. Jackbooted facists with their power-trip, condenscending attitude, little black ticket book (er . . . oops! Did I start to rant?)

WHERE in northampton did you get off a ticket? I never get off anytime in the ABE area ....you're damn lucky ...with the dick cops in our area.

Acually it wasn't in Northampton. It was at RT. 191 by the "SPOT" drive in (on my way to NCC). A bethlehem cop pulled me over. I got pulled over a while back by a bethlehem cop for going down a one way and flying into a parking lot. He also gave me a warning. He was cool. Even if i do get a ticket, as long as the cop is human with me I don't get mad. I mean as long as i did something wrong.

I screwed up and found out about a cool cop awhile back. I had just installed my intake, and stiffened up my kybs. The guys and I piled into my car to test it out. We pulled out of the driveway, accelerated from 0-60-0 in a short distance, then proceded around a roundabout. In doing the acceleration, we passed a cop. Well, he pulled me over and asked me if I realized what I did. I told I knew what I had done, but I was familiar with the area (I have lived there for 2 years), and figured I was able to do this safely; ie: nobody was around and it was late. He asked me what I was doing and I simply told him I just got my suspension setup and I was seing how well it handled. Well rather hitting me with exhibition of speed, wreckless driving, and speeding, he wrote me up a simple speeding ticket which can be worked off with driving school. He handed this to me saying," Next time you test out your suspension, go and find a nice deserted road." He must have a soft spot for fast, agile cars.

Forgive me, I'm bored at work.
