[NC325iC]

wow NY must blow... i dont even have to get emissions anymore

(i say that in alot of threads, but its exciting to me)

[ping65810]

Massachusetts can be strict, but its only enforced on little punks, in other words, if you are looking for attention, you got it, but for most people you can get away with murder while driving here in MA.

[e30_325es]

NY emmission inspections (outside the 5 boroughs) is visual only for 95 and older cars. This is part of the reason why I still have NY plates even though I reside in MD.

[e30polak]

CA is by far the worst, i got pulled over twice in my jeep for a dumped muffler, which i never thought they'd pull over a jeep, luckily i got out of those to, have yet to get pulled for my bimmer but with the s52 and 3" piping im louder then a civic when i pin it, get a radr detector and that'll keep u safe, saved my ass a bunch of times, b/c if im on it the cop will hear me way be4 he sees me

[MR 325]

I consider my car pretty loud and I have never gotten pulled over for it. Hell, I don't even try to keep it quiet when I'm around a cop, I like to test them, lol. All of my Honda buddies get pulled over constantly for exhaust though. Funny how that works.

Over all being nice/and speaking the truth gets you further than being a dick.

[Car Addict]

are you serious 15 times being pulled over that is insane i have only been pulled over once. But as for loud exhaust violations i basically know all the cops so the conversation is

Cop: license and regis... Derek?
Me: ya
Cop: Please fix your exhaust.
Me: absolutely

they come by the shop where i work to get alignments and most of their work done so they know me.

and now they know my car so i haven't been pulled over for a while

[browntown]

In the fifteen years I've been licensed I think I've been pulled over about 7 times, four speeding tickets that I can remember. Three of them when I was going the posted speed and traveled into a lower speed limit zone without adjusting my speed. I'm sure by posting this I am jinxing myself.

[VAPORBLADE]

What can I say...small town.

[Mot]

wow NY must blow... i dont even have to get emissions anymore

(i say that in alot of threads, but its exciting to me)

word, the last cop to "hassle" me, just said, try to keep the revs low in the neighborhood, your exhaust is a little loud. He didnt seem to care about no front plate, euro ellips, and a euro plate....

[BimmerBall]

Over all being nice/and speaking the truth gets you further than being a dick.

QFT. but you may get a ticket anyway. Don't lie. Don't get an attitude or it will get adjusted in a hurry.

I just put glasspacks on my e30 and goddamn is it loud. windows rattle, etc. haven't been stopped yet (knock on wood).

[silversleeper]

"Shouldn't you be doing something else like lowering the crime rate?"

[Fidhle007]

Nice, I'll have to try that with one of the cops I know.

[Jand3rson]

How about some of George Carlin's lines?

"Can't you see I've got enough shit floating around the floor of my car, without another useless piece of paper from the state?"

"Could you hurry it the fuck up, I've got a trunk full of heroin, people are waiting for me at a party!"

"Hey, don't I pay your salary? You're a public servant! Get me a glass of water!"
