We can keep a box of latex gloves in the car, and then store our registration in a bag of feces. That'll teach them.

-Car too loud (I put catalytic converter back on 1 day before and it was really quiet)
-Tint to dark (Factory tint)
-No front license plate (In front window)
-Rear license plate obstruction (License plate frame from mazda)
too low? i think not, used to live in texas (abilene), even an rx8 slammed the headlights are still higher than the 18 inch minimum they require. did he have a tape measure out

too loud, doubt it with your cat on, has to pass 98DB at a 3000rpm hold which is pretty damn loud. unless he pulled out a DB meter and tested it its getting dropped.

texas when i was there had no minimum for rear windows and immovable windows, and 35 for front.

license plate, yeah i could see that. and the fram on the back, if it covered your stickers or state title i could see as well....fight the D-bag, bet he owns a 89 mustange

My brother did that and got out if it. It's the dumbest money-making law of all time. Remember that it is the end of the month quota time so be on alert.

^^actually its not. many wanted persons have been apprehended in vehicles that were identifed using the front plate. same goes for vehicles used in crimes. its actually a great investigative tool. with that said, i still do not like the front plate on my vehicles.
