ouch, sorry to hear about that jake...

what's the damage?

 

did it happen in LA county or in some other county?

 

Riverside county
CHP
The guy was a *****. I had to do a full field sobriety test. He asked to search my car, and when I said no, he decided to becoma an arsehole.

Funny part is, both my from windows were down the whole time, he gave me the ticket for having my back windows tinted.

 

see thats the reason some people do not need to
have the position of power.
give me that power and i promise to treat all the
guilty people fairly.

 

Sorry to hear about the ticket.

 

jake that sucks
how fast were you going

 

tikets sucks an een more so with the CHP

 

I had the cruise control set at 55mph on a street with a 55mph speed limit.

The cop knows it wont stick in court. He pitched me on traffic school, which means plead guilty and take traffic school.

He never saw my windows, but I got a tint ticket.
He never got me on radar or paced me, but said he was estimating 90, so wrote me up at 70, and I know for a fact I was doing 55.

 

did he give u a reason as to why he wanted to search your car?

seems like an odd request.

 

No reason, he was just treating me like a drunk teenager.

He started out yelling, and just kept going.
Most cops get a lot cooler after they find out you are sober, licensed, registered and insured with a perfect driving record.
He never called for back up, Never brought in a seargent, and didn't even call in my name till later when he was writing up the ticket.
He tried every trick in the book to get me to confess to speeding, but I knew I was in the clear. They use your fear to get you to admit to something you didn't do. I have plenty experience with getting pulled over, that is why I keep all my stuff legal. It makes it MUCH easier in court.


Kinda wierd though, I haven't had a cop treat me like that since I was a punk teenager driving an illegally modified bright red sports car while blasting a competition stereo at full blast.

 

can u file a complaint after you're cleared in court?

 

too bad the car pc can't tell you how fast you were driving
with the time and date on a printout. maybe that could
rodger's next mod..

 

it's perfectly legal to have hella dark tint in your rear and side rear windows here in cali, it's the front two that matter. that is totally not in the right for him to ticket you on for a fix-it-ticket for your rear tinted windows. i say fight it in court and have him pay you the $10 fee.

 

i was jsut thinking and it is probabley tolate, but with these summer months and it getting so hot and the mixture of cars why dont we have a meet event i.e. BBQ, Baseball game, guitar hero thingy?

 

Are you sure your windows weren't up when you were driving?

Funny thing, why would he say you were doing 90?

What street was it on?

 

off-topic, but this pwns... hahahaha

I am amazed he got a perfect score but he still has to see the teacher after class. Wonder if it is a male or female teacher lol.

 

Hey Loren -
This pic is from the Crystal Cove meet in March.
We need to go.

I used to go to the Crystal Cove meet about once a month when I lived down the street. It is cool to see all the expensive cars. Problem is that they come with ****** behind the wheel. They go to a car show, but dont even want people looking at thier cars. They are not really car people. They are "check out how rich I am, you must bow to me in all my greatness" people.
Saw some guys little boy jump inside a Ferrari, and the owner went ballistic. Yelled, screamaed and threatened with lawsuits. That is when I stopped going.
The only cool ones there are the ones that own the classics.

 

^^^ I'd be a bit pissed as well if some little munchkin jumped in my Ferrari. I wouldn't go that nuts but it depends on what the kid was doing.

Also, most of the exotics no longer go to Crystal Cove, they all pretty much got kicked out by the Irvine Company for "loitering".
They now all go to the P.A.G. in Irvine.

 

Its kinda wierd how late in the month the meet will be.
I am trying to get all 4 RX8's from Temecula to go. It would be kinda cool to roll out with 4 Temeculites cruisin down the 215.


BTW - Now that we got the news on the extended warranty, Steph is REALLY pushin to keep my car. She even mentioned taking over the payments for a certain period, which would allow me to get another toy.
One way or the other, it looks like the RX8 just got a 2 year extension of ownership.

 

Just wanted to remind everyone that the finals start on June 5th.

 

what finals are these and why should i care?

 

Did you see this article loren posted a few weeks ago?
