nope it was in vancouver. he was doing traffic control during a festival on 41st.
i thought i would get away with a warning because he looked busy. but no, he made me pull over right into the parade street. i had a scottish pipe band pass me as he was writing me a ticket. he also made me pull my front windows to see if they were tinted. luckily i never ended up doing them. he was out to get me. im going to dispute the ticket, hopefully he doesnt show up. if he does, ill ask for lesser fine and bring up the fact that it could be "driver profiling" ie: young white guy driving a sports car. when i left, i had to follow the pipe band for a whole block because there was no where to turn off. everyone was starring and made the whole experience that much more interesting. this makes it my 8th ticket in 3 years.

32k service
Hey guys,
I think my next service which is at 32k kms is a major service...
Do you think it's best to get it serviced at the dealer or is there a good shop that could get it done just as well?
Recommendations would be much appreciated.
Also, any good shops for tints??
Thanks guys.

oh yeah, i don't see how your wheels are anymore "distractive" than the colors of exotic cars, or bright colored cars, as said by fellow members. just dispute it, i always dispute my tickets, though i've only had 4 in the past 5 years hahaa.

how much was it?
and s300 dude, when i had my 325, i got tailed and then pulled over by the cops RIGHT in front of aberdeen mall ex-starbucks entrance lol. he got out and then told me that my license plate frame was blocking the insurance date sticker. i was like WTF i never had a cop tell me that before. and then he walked the the front of my car and made me turn on all my headlights and turn signals, and made me roll up my windows as well. after all that, he came back and said "you have white side reflectors, they're supposed to be amber". i told him "but this is how i got my car, it came like this (my bro used to drive it lol), i don't know what you're talking about", and asked him to show me. and then he said "you'll know when you get home." ANOTHER first for not having amber reflectors, although it IS illegal. got a ticket for not properly displaying the insurance date sticker and for not having amber reflectors. i've passed by cops before, and had ones that stopped behind me, beside me, and never got a problem. shows to you that when a cop IS ****, he can fck you up the **** HARDD.

I haven't tried taking the rear window with defroster though, as any tint shop will say removing the rear with defroster may scratch them thus they don't work... but it's because they use a razor blade that may cut the lines, using a metal sponge (I just can't seem to remember the name
) wouldn't have this problem...
