Guess who. He lives same city as me and is a very active member on here. .

So who is it already

ZOMG! its gotta be Savington! :bowrofl:

Impounded?

whoo hoo post 420!:cool:

Thats what I assumed but there's a couple people it could be I guess. Must be a black car if the headlights don't hardly reflect, or blue.

I don't think savington has a functional differential does he?

You are correct. And no, he doesn't really have a good differential but you think that's going to keep him from driving it?

The last I saw of his differential it was in a million pieces. Didn't know he had fixed it already.

So what happen? Dont leave us hanging like that.

I have an oozy open diff in there, but yeah, that's me, out on bail (;)).

First, a map:

http://tinyurl.com/64lxtc

I was coming down from a friend's house up in Los Altos Hills, and we rolled by a Sheriff's officer sitting at the intersection before the entrance to 280 South. I rolled by at the speed limit (30) in 4th, with my friend in his heavily modified E30 M3 (2.5 liter S14, etc) in tow. As soon as I rounded the corner onto the onramp, I clicked into 3rd and dispatched 3rd, rounded the corner onto the ramp parallel to the highway, ran off most of 4th up to about 80 or so, and clicked into 6th and lifted. I slowed pretty quickly to about 70 to let my friend keep up, since he can't usually. ;)

So after I'm about a mile up, I get a phone call from said friend.

F: "Dude, the Sheriff is after you."
A: "Hmm. Why?"
F: "I don't know but he's after you."
A: "But he didn't see me do anything." :fawk:

Sure enough, 30 seconds later, the same Sheriff's Durango is on my ass. He trails me for about a mile, so I know he doesn't have a damn thing on me, but he was so close I couldn't see the roof through the rollbar/hardtop. He finally hits the lights, I pull over immediately, both windows down, keys on the gauge hood (in between the wideband gauge and boost gauge ;)), hands on the wheel. He saunters up, asks for the license, I explain that I have to unclip the harnesses to get to it, and since I have 2 tires in the passenger seat I'll need to shuffle them to get the registration and insurance out of the glovebox.

So I get it all out, he takes it, runs my tag, and then tells me I have a license plate light out. :mad: I seem to be going through them every couple of months, so I need to figure out why (I knew one was out, didn't know the other had gone). He then asks me why my car had been towed by San Luis Obispo PD. :giggle: I explain that I got towed illegally out of my apartment from a marked spot with a permit, and he nodded his head and asked:

O: "So it wasn't for racing or anything?'
A: "Oh, gosh, no, Officer." :bowrofl:

He takes my insurance for 90 seconds back to his cruiser to check it all out, hands them back, and says "Get that fixed."

:fawk::fawk::fawk:

Damn, no juicy story? The cop just followed you to find a reason to pull you? At least he wasn't a dick and didn't try to cite you for harness' and mods.

Well it sure beats getting a racing ticket!

Haha. Nice.

My last run in with the police was something pretty silly....

Was with friend in his S/C 94 and we were going somewhere from his apt. Decided to have some fun and drive up Renner road where right before 87th street they've installed some lovely traffic circles. Figured they'd do that to stop us from racing cars and bikes there. 2 wide lanes with a nice radius.

The ground wasn't wet like it rained, just really humid so it was slightly damp which makes for a lot of fun. Made about 4 laps around the last traffic circle basically in a driftomatic slide.. Decided that was about enough and drove up to the intersection of 87th street which was approx 2 blocks distance from the traffic circle we were going around. Stopped at the light and proceeded to take a right turn where he punched it WOT. Blew through first, second, third gear.. When he shifted into third the car made a drastic turn in to the curb -- He was rolling smoke off the tired through all the gears, but stopped when he clutched for third, the jerk from selecting third sent it in for the curb. He lifted, corrected, and went back to WOT. Traveled 3 blocks doing that under the bridge for the highway, then around the corner and back into WOT. At the end of the ramp there was a Lenexa copper with lights and sirens blasting on his way after us.

Pulled over and shut it down. Cop comes up to the car and protests he stopped us because we "lost control of our vehicle." Of course, thats what they claim and my friend protested he absolutely never once was out of control of his car -- Infact every time the officer mentioned "loss of control" Andy interrupted the officer to state he was in perfect control, had he been out of control we would've hit the curb in the median. The reason he stated to the officer the roads were really damp, he accelerated a little too much then lifted, corrected and proceeded to continue acceleration. Officer took his license and went back to his car.. Heres another "wreckless driving" ticket...

When he returned the officer stated he didn't believe our story: "I don't believe your story due to the fact that I heard your car long long LOOONG before I ever saw it... Try and keep it under control next time." handed his license back and left. :bowrofl: I mean, it was true. the reason the car jerked "out of control" was because of the damp roads.. we just didn't specify he was in third gear..

Fucking cops.. ;)

if you're not a punk and a dick to cops, more than half of the time they wont be random jerks to you.

ya there usually nice unless your a big douche towards them

I've always been nothing but courteous, yet I get harassed thru the entire process. :dunno: I guess it could be worse.

Every once in awhile you get away with something. But if you get pulled over by Texas DPS. You better have vasoline in the glove box.
It is rare they let you go.

If you look like a "good country boy" around here you are ok. Get dressed up, or look hip hop. You will be hopping bent over the squade car!:giggle:

Squeal like a pig. Hoo HaW!

Ps if you don't know that saying watch the movie "Deliverance". It was pretty realistic.:nuts:

I've been pulled over probably half a dozen times or so in the past ten years. One was a felony-style stop at 2am in the middle Arcadia, FL. On each and every occasion I was polite and courteous, didn't interrupt the officers while speaking, etc etc., and only one of those stops resulted in a ticket. That was in Buffalo, NY, for "improper lane change." The windows on my rental car froze up quite suddenly, and I literally ran an officer off the road while trying to open the driver's side door so I could see out.

Just the other day I got off when an officer saw me slalom a cone on the road. I was polite and apologized about 20 times, but like people said, you can only be so polite, sometimes cops are just in bad moods.

LOL. i got pulled for that once, actually. construction n the road and we were inching along at like... 5 - 10 mph. i slalomed through a few of the cones (we were down to 1 lane of 3, and there were at least 1/4mi of cones ahead of me with empty two lanes). well, apparently a cop was after that 1/4my of open space, and when i got to him he pointed at me to pull over.

he was actually laughing his ass off when he walked up and just said, "what the hell do you think you're doing?"

i had no good response and just apologized citing boredom, so he told me to knock it off. :-)

Ya the cop told me to "get your head out of your ass". I would have been fucked royally if he had cited me for it due to recent events.

uhg fkn werd.

2 hours into texas for the first time and i got pulled over doing 80 in a 75. "What speed limit in all of america lets you do over 80 miles an hour boy?" "uh.....sorry?":jerkit::crx:

Sav, you did everything right, congrats. Pull over, as far off the road as you can. If on the freeway, try and give him enough room to walk up on the passenger side if he wants. Keys on the dash, windows down, hands on the wheel. Make eye contact as soon as he walks up. Be polite, use the word "Sir" or "Ma'am" as appropriate. Don't try any bullshit.

A cop will decide in about 5 seconds whether or not he's gonna give you a ticket. The next 10-15 seconds are just him figuring out if you're drunk. If you make it to 20seconds without pissing him off, you'll probably just get a warning.

By the way, if you were on the phone when he saw you doing whatever it was he pulled you over for, it's almost a certainty that you're getting a ticket (even if it's legal in your state). Do yourself a favor, HANG UP immediately when you see the lights. Don't even bother to say BYE, just hang the fuck up. He'll appreciate it.

Also, if your phone rings at any point during the stop (even if he's back in his car running your license) and you answer it... you'll sure as fuck get a ticket. DON'T ANSWER IT!

Ehh, this is BS. I got a ticket like 18 months ago for a carpool lane violation, and the guy literally thanked me for being so courteous to him - right before handing me a $365 ticket. :jerkit:

I'm always cooperative and courteous when I get pulled over, and 3/7 times it has worked. I've never gotten a speeding ticket, only reckless endangerment, illegal lights, and disorderly conduct with a motor vehicle.

My dad (63 then) and I (18 then) were test riding two brand new unregistered BMW motorcycles a couple years ago when a sheriff clocked us at 110 (I was on one wheel for a good part of the way up there) and locked onto us at 87 in a 55 zone on a country road. We got off with a verbal warning because we were cooperative with mostly clean records and I think he didn't want to go through all the paperwork that would be associated with legal action.

Some shit you'll never get out of. A carpool violation, running a red, failure to yield to a schoolbus... come one, that kind of stuff wasn't what I was talking about.

Low-digit speeding, no blinker, rolling a stopsign... that's the kind of stuff you can often get out of if you just play it cool.

I was an EMT and City Lifeguard growing up in San Diego. I went on quite a few Police ride-alongs when I was going down the path of civil service in HighSchool and College. I had actually settled on Border Patrol when the Navy came along. It's an awesome experience to do a shift in a black&white. Most police departments have a ride-along program that just about anybody can participate in. There's a basic background check, but a lot of agencies treat it as a citizens' right to see what the other side goes through. If you know a cop, I'm sure they can hook you up with the info. I learned some of my greatest life lessons on those days. Try to get a Friday or Saturday night... time very well spent.

Shit Son...

I've been pulled over a lot.. lol.. Never once have I ever copped an attitude to the cop before they made contact.. If he comes rolling up on me with his own head up his ass...

Cops are people, and 90% of them I've met have over inflated egos and are complete and total douches. Never have I not been polite or disrespectful to an officer that pulled me over and I've been harassed and fucked up one side and down the other.

Only time I ever got off personally with something.. I went to Lawrence which is a college town (KU..) to hang out with this girl I was dating. Well I had to be in the office at 8am the following morning and next thing I know its 3:30... Was driving my Speed6 home with the cruise set at like 120mph nearly half way back to Kansas City. About the time I reached this little town DeSoto I decided it was a VERY bad idea to be going that fast with deer and everything, so I backed off to around 95 to continue the rest of the way. Right as I left DeSoto City limits on K10 my radar detector goes "Bleep." one time on Ka band, which it does ALL the freaking time (piece of crap...) so I ignored it. About the time I got to Olathe I noticed in my mirror there was a car way back behind me and it was coming FAST... Just head lights, nothing flashing. Got right on my bumper and light me up!! FUCK!!!!

Pulled over to the side of the road, rolled my window down and got out the lube!! It was a Johnson County Deputy Sheriff that walked up to my car. Said good evening, identified himself, stated he clocked me doing 90 in a 65 and asked to see my license. I sighed, said oh shit I didn't realize I was going that fast (lies!!) and explained to him in great detail why I was speeding home.. You know, it was like 90 minutes until I had to be at work nearly! He grabbed my license and I couldn't find a current insurance card even! Great, theres another 500$ to my lawyer to get that speeding ticket fixed, plus I'll have to go show the judge my proof of insurance to get no insurance charge dismissed.. He returned to my car after FOREVER, prolly like 7 minutes with my license and nothing else in hand, inquired if I managed to find a current card for insurance. I hadn't been able to produce one, the one I had was 9 days expired. Told the officer I have 3 cars and a bike, all have full coverage insurance and even showed him the rest of my expired (LOL) cards.. He Handed me my license, told me to please slow down and make sure I get a valid insurance card in my vehicle and have a safe trip home.

Talk about shock! I'd send him a Christmas card if I could!

Only two times I have ever gotten a warning have been with my girlfriend in the car. If I'm alone I get fucked.

wow, sounds like a great cop. i had a similar story, except i was doing 90 in a 45 (like an idiot), he pulls me over, SCREAMS at me, cusses me out tells me im a stupid bag of shit and he should beat the shit out of me (srsly lol).....then tells me to get the fuck out of his sight before he towes my shit.......

"yes sir"
needless to say i was out of there with the quickness haha:giggle:

Wow this is weird just last night me and my roommate were driving around town, in his modded GTP with nitrous... and pulled up to some riced out civic and he chirped the tires, then took off so my roommate just walks past him. And sure enough there was a cop, watching all of it lol. he walks up to the car and says what the fuck do you think your doing, and were real nice about it and say just having some fun. Its like 1 a.m and no one else on the road, so their "backup" shows up about 6 cop cars and 12 cops or so make us get out, and proceed to search the car. They didn't like the nitrous to much... and proceeded to say you need a hazardous material sticker displayed on the outside of your car at all times haha. After realizing we werent drinking or criminals proceed to ask how much power and how fast the car was? And then tell us about how fast their cop cars are (gay). But he only ended up getting a city ordinance ticket for something like $50 for street racing not to bad. There are some nice cops and Dickheads everywhere you go

If he'd wanted to he could have given you a real juicy ticket for using a non DOT approved safety belt.

Yeah he was a great cop. I've been yelled and screamed at before, too. State Police pulled me over for an "unsafe left turn" cause I went flying around a clover and into a lane of traffic in my old slammed ranger sport truck.. He pulled me out of the truck and started to lecture me that my driving record was really terrible and blah blah blah, I'm too young to have that many tickets, blah blah.. Then writes me a 62$ ticket for "unsafe left turn." Wow, thanks for the help, Sir! :hustler::bowrofl:


I can't speak from experience, but Sav lives in Canada.. and I don't think they give a flying fuck about DOT.

If I ever got a ticket for a SNELL approved safety device because it doesn't have a "DOT" sticker on it, I'd fight it to the bitter end personally.

Did you just say Sav who lives in california (very strict) lives in canada?

Damn uneducated Kansans! CA = Kalifornia :giggle:
Savington lives in the good ole US of A bro.

:bowrofl:

Owned by not looking at his freakin map..


That and I guess he would've been stopped by Mounties instead of a Deputy Sheriff. :giggle:

eh

I've been pulled over 3 times wearing them now and never once been given shit about them. 3" Willans, FIA rated, and if I ever catch shit I'll just explain to the judge that if they are good enough for Formula 1 cars, they're good enough for me. :)

this basicly sucks, even when the cop decides to let me off I still get a seatbelt violation ticket, no points, reasonably cheap, but still a hassle! balls.

Odd since the speed limit on I-10 between San Antonio and El Paso is 80. `

Happens. My friend got a no seatbelt ticket for wearing a Sparco Harness with harness bar. His dad is ex-police so it just disappeared, but it was like "Seriously"?

He got 4 tickets in one sitting, speeding, no proof of insurance, no seat belt, and improper silencer.

Awesome!

It's cuz you sound a little like a stoner. :rofl:

I have to ask... He was driving a Honda, Right?

drifting a honda in socal :bang:

Key word being usually. I've only been ticketed twice -- the first time the cop was extremely pleasant and gave me and two friends disorderly w/motor vehicle after seeing us all doing 75 in a 45 (decelerating from 100+). Could've given a racing ticket and at least 6 points.

Second time, a friend and I were drifting in a private parking lot and the cop was a total dick. Went so far as to threaten me with some sort of endangering someone's life felony because I had a passenger. At that point I stopped being pleasant but still got off with another disorderly.

Man, That holds a special place in my heart... Right next to the trash can!



I had some douche in a minivan back into the side of my friends car and did like 2500$+ in damages to it. No insurance, expired license. Did the police come to take care of that? Nope! They didn't even answer their fucking phone!

Yet, low and behold cutting some donuts in a PRIVATE and very much EMPTY parking lot.. We got a ticket 10 miles down the road by some douchebag piece of shit cop for wreckless driving and destruction of private property! It wasn't even asphault, it was that hard grainy shit that rips your tires to shreds! The fucking ------ didn't even know it was called "DONUTS" and not "COOKIES!?" COOKIES!? I wanted to ask him if he wanted a fucking cookie.

And just a few weeks ago Andrew's telling me he's concocting plans for a 300 whp turbo setup. He says to me, "I want to be able to accidentally get arrested"
hahahaha
