This pretty dumb. If you want to mod your car and take a chance of getting caught then just pay the ticket. Dont make it out to be some horrible thing. Michigan pretty much is the opposite of Cali. Other than tint pretty much anything goes and nobody checks. Some cops are just ___ holes most have better things to worry about than making sure your car is legal.

 

yeah, i removed the charhoal filter on my Tc, i have never seen another car with one......so it went bye bye. as for paying the fine......

 

is that only in CA?

 

^^ that is our vehicle code just for CA not sure about NC , but you guys probably have some sort of noise pollution law.

 

my car's completely legal

but just dont drive stupid, and you won't get coppped for your parts



i heard cops r online now......

 

^^ yeah you are sooooooo stock!!! hahahaha you rebel law breaker!!!!

 

I'm aware of the noise violations and exhausts, But the magnaflow exhaust can not be heard at idle. and can not be heard cruising. At WOT thats another story.

 

yep, that is when they nail you............usually on take off. but trust me if you can hear it at idle its gonna be loud, what ____es me off is the harleys with thier fart makers, and how nobody does anything about them.

 

yep, alot of departments scour the boards to find out where peeps are racing and such.

 

thats what i wonder too

 

Yah cops do search threads and bust people that way.

Did yah hear or watch the news (I think it was last weekend) The coppers did a joint crack down on blackstone and cited like 25 vehicles in one night.

 

You should see what it's like to drive in Nevada. Everyone here (including me) likes to speed and I seldom see anyone get pulled over for it. If anything, it's like you should speed here because people get pulled over for doing 46 in a 45 mph zone but can do 60-80 mph in a 45 mph zone and never get pulled over for it.

The freeway is practically an autobahn for me as there are rarely any cops on there. And I rarely ever see any nice tuner cars in this state so I wonder........

 

I just did some research and now I know what your talking about
I DO NOT DRIVE AN ILLEGAL CAR!!!!!!!!
My car has all its papers. It applied for a visa and is on its way to being an american car. It didnt sneak across the boarder and try to take advantage of our licensing system.
It is here with all the other wonderfully legal cars, assimilating and making america better.

For those of you driving Illegal cars. You will be caught and your car deported. One day maybe while getting an oil change, or on the side of the road BANG your car gets towed and deported. All becuase you wanted to scam the system.

Think your car before trying this. Have you no shame?
I cant stand Law breakers. Your cars are making it difficult for all the legal cars here

For some reason you remind me of brett


Why you even worried about wahts on or in others people cars? Did some one die and make you Vehicle inspector?

 

I'm not **** about other people car for one.

I am not comprehending how people don't take integrity seriously. Because in the end, all a person has is his/her word.

I used the cars as an example, because this is a car enthusiest forum.

And I personally belive if people are so aloof with telling white lies and minor grievances. Then they are certainly capable of larger ones.

Example. I see a person take a 20 dollar bill off of the ground, that someone just passing buy dropped. The person that finds the 20 dollars, instead of returning it to the person pockets the cash and goes about his business.

Technically he isn't hurting anyone, but if I had that same person in my home. I definitly wouldn't leave him alone with the cookie jar.

P.S. Mods I just come to realize I should have posted this in perhaps off-topic cafe. If you could move it accordingly that would be great.

 

Wow, where to begin with this thread, Timmy.

I mean, laws are laws and if you don't follow them you are *gasp* breaking the law. Guess what, it happens. And for good reasons as much as bad. Ever heard of the Jim Crow laws? THose were bad laws. Laws against murder. I'd say those are good laws. The most simpel fact is that despite your world view or mine, everything is shades of grey, because circumstances chan change whether laws are good/bad, moral/unjust, whatever you wanna call it. I wouldn't want to live in a society where infractions of any/all laws were without interpretation(sp).

They call those places dictatorships, monarchy's, and so on. WHere dissent and discussion do not exist, and often (but not always) lead to extremely repressive societies.

This is not to EVEN mention the fact that many of our law makers (at least in the states) are fing idiots. Look at some of the laws made throught our nations history and you'll see just how laughable some of them are. Should we be fined/jailed for 'old' laws still on the books, that are all but oficially forgotten? I think not.

When they start representing the voting body in this country properly (read: get rid of the electoral college), and I can actually begin VOTING on laws that get passed without my say, I'd be more than happy to follow them.

Isn't happening any time soon, champ, so you'll just have to do one of 2 things: 1) deal with it and move on, or 2) don't deal with it, but still move on.

I'll get off my soap box now.

 

I totally disagree with CARB laws, I say if it passes emissions it passes emissions. Who cares about some numbers on a card or plate.

But I fully support street racing laws.

But regardless of what I support or I shun. The consequences and repricusions have no discrimination.
And to take one's word, as just a bargaining chip, or a means to an end, whatever that end may be. Is just really sad to myself personally.

 

14TH....
C'mon. You really need to get the car parts out of your head.

I already stated I was using the car modifications as an example on a car enthusiest forum.

I really want to know why people feel they are the ones who determin what is a good law, what is a bad law, and choose to abide by them on that basis.

But also expect to be shown the same respect and be treated as an adult, when they can't follow the simple rules, because they choose not to, and feel that as long as no one sees, or no one discovers, it is perfectly fine and okay to do so.

 

Wow, we should lock this thread before it just gets stupid crazy in here.

TimmyT, man, I'd love to go round and round with you on this topic but I find myself unable to clearly identify WHAT it is exactly you're trying to shed light on.

Is it car laws? Laws and lawfulness in general? The preceived degeneration of the social fiber where you live? Gimme something to zero in on, chief.
