An eventful saturday, Celica encounter on the PCH Options

[airfron]

On Saturday i was down at Huntington Beach with my girlfriend getting some lunch and when we went to leave there were three biker cops sitting on their bikes talking to each other i drive past them and sure enough one of them turns on his lights beeps his siren and pulls me over on the corner of the pch and main, a big traffic area and also a pretty big shopping area. he asks me a bunch of questions about my car and tells me to pop the hood so i oblige him and he spends 10 minutes inspecting my stock engine i was so embarassed everyone was staring at me like i was a criminal, and in the end he could only give me a fix-it ticket for my front plate. in all the officer seemed angry like that was the only citation he could give me. i swear lately the one-time's always trying to catch me ridin' dirty... and it's not gonna happen.

anyways right when i pulled away and was driving up the PCH i saw a gt with an invader kit that had some kind of custom blue paintjob, dark tinted windows, and a "Straight Legit" sticker accross the hatch window, a real clean looking car... and i was wondering if anyone knew a celica in the Long Beach area that matches that description.

sorry you got pulled over... did they not say the reason?

[airfron]

no he didn't say but i figured it was the plate

[Rayme]

I think whoever has a fart can is just beggin' to be pulled-over..I'd be a pretty dirty cop haha!

[celiracer]

Was it phat99celica's old car? I know he sold it but don't know where it went or who bought it?

[airfron]

i don't think so it had stock hood, tails, headlights, spoiler but the paint was very similar...did he part out those parts before selling the car?

isnt it illegal for a cop to ask you to "pop your hood" without reason? my lawyer told me it was, but then again this is north carolina, we dont have high restrictions.

[airfron]

its to see if you have any non smog legal parts like a cai, which im glad i had off . they're pretty strict here with anything pretty much as far as modifying your car

[easternpiro1]

what if youre a visitor to the state? do they still mess with you? (i would be illegal AS HELL!)

i found out in VA you would get a ticket for neons, even if theyre leagal in your home state...

[airfron]

i'm not too sure about visitors... they probably would for things like neons and things that "distract" other drivers but if you have an out of state plate they'd be more likely to leave you alone
