Was it your buddy with the Honda?

I know you hang with the ricers anyways. Was it a honda? Happy birthday by the way.

Not that one. One of my friends in San Jose. He's got a nice little civic. What got him pulled over was his single euro style windshield wiper and no front plate. Then the cop had him open the hood and just pointed at parts that he thought weren't legal. I told him to go to court over it because he has all the E.O. stickers, and the headers the officer pointed out as illegal have the E.O. stamped on a plate welded to one of the header tubes. It was a bunch of B.S. if you ask me. Every time I got pulled over for no front plate they just asked what I was doing to the car and said it was really cool.

I might be able to get away with almost anything in Redwood City in my Camaro. I got pulled over just so they could check out the car, and it's a real POS. The only time I got a ticket for no front plate, it was a training officer. The only thing the smog tech went for when I tried smogging my car was the EFE Heat Riser Valve off the headers. I asked if everything else was ok and he said "Yup". MSD ignition and all.

Thanks. And I don't hang with ricers. I hang at home with my parents. I just try teaching some of the ricers I know how to drive with respect for others rather than trying to look cool. Looking cool while driving is following the laws.... Damnit, I'm really getting old. Soon I'll be acting like Jody. :faint:

Hey I'm all for THE ENVIROMENT and all but that just SUCKS , I don't really care for the rice burners but when they can look under your hood and tell you your parts are illegal thats fu&%ed . Are we all in some race division that says your parts need to be stock??? :faint:

You know the thing about this whole smog crap is that they want you to have all the proper smog equipment on your car, but if you modify your car, and it actually blows cleaner numbers, they don't care. They should do it not by "the proper equipment" but by what your car does at the smog station.

Doesn't sound like anything new to me. It wasn't any different when I was junk drivin' punk. That must've been 1985 or so. Primered in five different colors, jacked up, no hood, odd hours, lookin for trouble. I might as well have scribbled the words "Illegal Search & Seizures Welcome" on my rear spoiler. They didn't need a law. They just did it. In retrospect, I'd be pulling me over, too. It stopped the day I rolled out of the garage in a fresh (and single color) coat of paint.

So nothing's really changed. They just created a law to facilitate the process.

"Sir, I notice that you also have high performance floor mats, and Chinese Take out with Illegal Duck Sauce packets and Hot Mustard. We are going to have to impound this Vehicle due to the Moo Goo Gai Pan in the back seat and the Kung Pow muffler"

"Oh and you have PooPoo platter stains in your Skivvies"

You tooooo much Jim. :lol:

We don't have emmisions testing in Michigan anymore. They did away with that about 10 years ago. So we got that much going for us.

.....weather still sucks though.
