Im glad you are good at dodging cones.

NASCAR drives straight on an oval just as much as any other series that's on road courses. Those races are won in the turns where car setup and driver skill matter.

You said, "Want to race?" Autocrossing, karting, road racing... Name your poison. Don't challenge me to race and expect it to be on a public road and in a straight line.

Matt, I challenge you to a race on a public twisty road!

Dont expect me to aUtoCrOzz. Not everyone is into dodging cones. Ill keep the rubber on my tires, thanks though for the offers. No one cares you are a so called better driver either.

Anyway, back to tint..

Sweet, I've always wanted to know what it's like to drive like those crazy fuckers in Japan!

We shall call it the Touge Showdown, and they will name a DVD-series after our battles!

I agree, sounds like a whole lot of whining over a ticket. Was the cop in the wrong, or were you in the wrong?

[X Factor]

Well of course I was, I also did say sorry for ranting in my very first post, so pointing out the fact i'm whining is redundant, but that's fine.

Anyway, I do have a few pics of my car totally stock, so I could probably just do that. I dunno, i'll do my research and do the whole court thing.

Every other time i've been pulled over I was just really polite and played dumb also, but this time the trooper literally asked me no questions, he probably said less then a dozen words to me. "you were speeding," "roll up your window halfway," and "here's your ticket"

I dunno, I just feel like i'm wronged, because I am 99% of the time an extremely safe driver, have NEVER been in an accident, and all I was doing this morning was minding my business like I always do in the morning. I was following the flow of traffic, people directly in front of me and to the right of me going the exact same speed I was.

I'll get over it, sorry again for being a whiny bitch.

And thanks to anyone who is giving me advice, i'll need it.

Argue the ticket in court, have them review the tape from the police car.

Here is what else they will offer you: driving probation. Basically, if you stay ticket-free for the next year this speeding ticket will never go on your record.

So basically you're looking like this:

-Tint ticket will be throw out since you have pics of your car w/ no tint
-Work zone offense dropped
-Speeding ticket goes on probation and dissappears after a year w/o tickets

Modded cars get targeted by cops, that is a fact of life; these are the risks we run and the games we play. Soon, you'll be mouthing-off and back-talking cops with the best of 'em

[turbotalon1g]

Tint ticket? are you fucking kidding me?
Quit your bitching and get a real ticket.
I have about 3 tickets on my record right now.
Grand total is stupid, but $60/month liability on the DSM is sweet.

[turbotalon1g]

I just read krackas post.
Police that harass modded cars, mostly imports suck ass.

Cliff notes for anyone who doesn't want to read his post.

Sorry if I don't feel sorry for you. You broke the law, and you got a measly ticket, that's not worth selling your vehicle over.

[Kracka]

^ Lol

[MATCHBX]

OMG!!! I got a ticket and now I can't play with my friends!! Wah f'in wah!!!

Time to grow up and join the real world. You play with the rules, you pay the price just like the rest of us. If you don't want to be noticed, don't drive a car that screams "look at me, I have dark tint so i must be up to something." I've been driving since you were in kindergarten and have received many tickets in my life. I never went whining and crying about it saying I'm gonna chuck it all away and ride the bus. You sound like a junior high kid that just lost his first crush to the football captain. Get over yourself, buy a minivan, and enjoy a ticket free life.

i just got a damn tint ticket this past weekend too!!!
also no proof of insurance...
and warning on loud muffler!!!

i still wanna live though!

[Onefast99gsx]

Was your tint professional tint or cheap autozone type junk?... I bought some professional 38% tint and haven't been bothered by even the worst cops around here and in MN when i've been there. Did the sides myself and had the back done by a professional shop. Quite frankly, anything less than -38% is asking for trouble and is a hazard IMO. I've driven a truck that had 20% and it was hard to see out in city light driving at night. Attached is a picture of my GSX with 38% sides & back. Why you'd need to go darker is beyond me.

i didnt know they made tint in 38% :shrug: ?

Haha no i was driving my first car, the 96' buick park ave (aka pimp shit). Theres alot of restrictions on a farmers license and i pretty much broke all of them. Driving at night, more then i think 20 miles from farm, driving with people, etc. Mainly he threw a fit about the roadblocks and cones we set up on main st. Only $100 total after going to court, easily worth a year of early driving
