Default Damn, pulled over again!

No front plate and modified exhaust!

Oh well just another warning.

Little tip too: Everytime I hand them my license and insurance (cuz that's in my wallet) then my registration is in my glovebox along with a grip of other papers. So it usually takes me awhile to find my registration, but before I can find it they usually get impatient and just give me a warning

Him: "No front plates and modified exhaust"
Me: "Ok"
Him: "But Im sure you did the exhaust yourself"
Me: "Yeup haha"
Him: "What color is this? Factory?"
Me: "Matador Red Mica, yes"
Him: "You do all the work on your car yourself?"
Me: "Yes, just not the suspension, but everything else yes"
Him: "Ok I don't need your registration its fine, just get your front plates. I know you don't have em on there cuz it looks cool, but you need em"
Me: "Ya I know, it just looks so cool. Ill put em on though "

Just a FYI, a front plate in the window is still not acceptable. In a crash, this object now represents a free moving projectile inside the car.

5201. License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates from swinging, shall be mounted in a position so as to be clearly visible, and so that the characters are upright and display from left to right, and shall be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly legible. The rear license plate shall be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than 60 inches from the ground, and the front license plate shall be mounted not more than 60 inches from the ground, except as follows:

Yes Killa it's on!

Cop seemed more interested in my back seat though. He didn't go right next to the driver window, he was behind it a little near the back window and i had to keep sticking my head out to talk to him.

Him: "Where you coming from?"
Me: "My dad's Chiropractic office right there"
Him: "I see you have a stethoscope in your car, why is that?"
Me: "Im a Respiratory Therapist"
Him: "You got any weed or illegal drugs in the car"
Me: "Negative"

haha
