I giggled as wifey saw this dude jogging and looking so hard he tripped and almost face-planted on the sidewalk, I usually don't care for pedestrians though, it's the police I'm more concerned about.

LOOOL, so was my Acura legend years and years back...... I was pulled over, cops were lurking inside my car (and me being me, the car was spotless inside) both cops were like, ohh... we got the wrong plates, sorry.

I just have all my paper work ready, seat belt on and yes sir no sir.

I agree with you on this part pelphrey, cops that are pullin you over usually are just trying to make ends meet, sort of like a salesman or any other persons in the workforce. You comply and don't act like a jackass, 80% of the time you'll be let go.

I was doing 75 in a 35 in a city street because I was sleeping and not paying attention in the CT200h I was loaned from the dealer, cop ran plates, my insurance, gave me verbal warning and told me to go home and sleep..... I'm sure it was partially the fact that I showed him the respect he deserved.

Cop was like "well, you drive this nice car, I'm sure you have insurance." It also helps I have Law Enforcement Memorial plates on my car. It's gotten me out of more than my share of tickets.

Lucky you!

I use to always fondle through my paperwork to get to my registration and ins card, now everytime I get a new one it is stuck one ONE envelope in my glovebox and nothing else gets in there, hehehe.

Yup, I got pulled over twice on the freeway just cause the cop noticed the fat exhaust tips on a Lexus! Something they are not used to seeing and immediately assume the car is loud... and boy were they right! LOL

I also couldn't pass inspection last month, so I had to remove the Invidia midpipes!

Keep in mind that I had a very very loud M5, but no one dared ask cause it was a "BMW". And now I have a loud C63 AMG that sounds like a thunder from factory. Cops can't touch me!
