lol speaking of modified cars...i got pulled over this morning with 3 other full cars.  Dumb cop thought we were racing.  We were on our way to some "haunted preschool"...and its on mountain roads....and he thought we were racing?!?! wtf....and he kept on asking what i had modified to the front of the cat....I told him intake only, and other than that I have no clue because I just bought the car how it is. I hate the po.

Did he look under the hood? I think that its totally a vialation of privacy if they do. A wing/stickers is not probable cause. That's like saying if someone has dredlocks the cops can pull them over and search the car because they probably have weed.

nah. He just assumed we were racing when only 2 of the 4 cars were "race status". My friends rx-7 fd was the other one. But the cop assumed that because of my kit and muffler, that we were racing. I hate how cops can let domestic muscle cars get by. From all the crap i've seen on domestics...imports are innocent
