It must suck having to drive an STi everyday.

Yeah, sounds like the cop just wanted an excuse to pull you over for whatever reason. Either to see if you were drunk, or to see if you had any illegal mods.

I've been pulled over countless times leaving bars or driving through campus (back in college) for BS items like "Your front license plate is slightly crooked" or "You were swerving back there" (when I wasn't) or "5mph over the speed limit"

And I didn't even have a cop magnet on my trunk.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

All HID's appear blue from a distance. What a joke!

Guess that comes from being Canadian, Eh? :D

This is SOP for most departments, especially near bars. They look for any little technical violation (license plate light out, etc.), or even the appearance of a violation, to get probable cause to pull you over and check for intoxication. If you're not drunk, they send you on your way and go looking for a new target.

I've been rolled so many times for no good reason! Once the cops check everything out and see that my traffic record does not indicate that I'm a street racer, and that I'm not drunk, then I get the "what's in the trunk?" or "do you have any weapons in the vehicle? Mind if I search?"

Assholes. They refuse to believe that a car that's modified, or that they think is modified, could possibly be driven by someone who's not doing something illegal!

Maybe it's 'cause I'm black. . .



Ha Ha! (race card officially pulled!)

oops! had a network prob for a second and double posted!

headlight switch
 

Would be as simple as a bulb change or would it include more? :?:

Well, pulling someone over for "Driving while Black" is not necessiarly a BS reason.

(race card officially played upon).

:p

"Excuse me son.... Do you know how black you were going?"

"You were doing Wesley Snipes in a Denzel Washington zone!" :lol: :lol:

Matt,

I kind of had the same idea you had, so after getting pulled over I turned it down to setting number three just for giggle sake. I don't remember what setting it was on, but I usually have it set to number one as I get flashed if its set to zero.

I think it kind of funny when I get flashed, because I flash them right back with my SUPPER HIGH BEAMS. :)

perhaps we should all carry periodic tables with us so we can explain noble gases and headlights to these tools.
Down in the bay, back when I had a horrendously quick RX2 Mazda, I was once pulled over for not having a gas door, which was off being duplicated in a non bent fashion. I had a gas cap, but no gas door. My car looked like nothing and i was being a law abiding driver (at the moment), that cop just wanted a reason to snoop and see if he could fin anything to brighten his evening.
Im just never going to like cops. Even when Im just interacting with them at work in the ER theyre still just, well......DICKS. Over zealous, proud, insecure, not so educated DICKS.

Bahahahaha... :D

I think Brian got pulled over for having Red hair...

Damn ginger kids...

Hey, that puts me in a minority class that even african-americans can't compete with. (I pulled the biggest race card.) LOL

Hahaha, indeed...

Hey, who is that chick in your signature? Just curious.

some girl from my favorite (other) website

What site is that?

What is a side cowl and where is it on the wrx?

Damn that was the funniest thing I have read in about a month! I need to come by and give you a +1 for that.
