Default Well the LS1 got me out of a ticket last nite :)

Well i was following these girls back to there house and i had no CLUE where i was. So we get to their neighborhood and they start speeding up like crazy so i just stay cruising, just making sure i could still see them. Well i start to lose them bc it is completely dark outside. Well i get to this nice straight stretch and the speed limit is 35mph well i sped up to round 85-90 trying to catch back up to those fools. Right when i let off i see some blue light come on and i was was like **** LOL. So i pull over and start throwing clothes all over my nitrous bottle and he comes up to the car and says man did you not know there was a car behind you? I just said well i am lost and i was following these girls and i got stopped by a light and i was trying to catch back up.. Then he said well man i lovet his setup, but lemme go check you license and stuff.

Well he stayed in his car for bout a minute. He came up to the car and said man this is to much power so try to tone it down a lil bit. So i asked him i said O do you like LS1's? He said ya man i love them, and then he told me to have a great nite and i shook this guys hand for letting me out of that one..

Anything like this happen to yall??

I wouldn't say the LS1 has gotten me out of anything, but it does get compliments when I do get pulled over. The last time I was pulled over for a taillight being out and not having my headlights on in the early morning. The officer complimented my car after he checked my license. He also told me he was glad I wasn't a jackass like the guys in town that own mustangs.

When i got pulled over, my nearly stock 98 Z28 was called a "Hotrod" by the police officer just cause i have an exhaust. And apparently in NJ its illegal to ride the middle lane in a 3 laned highway and pass up people while i was being passed up by people in the far left lane. Then there was that time i got pulled over for doing 25 in a 25 and i was impedeing traffic when it was 12:00 AM and no one was behind me. But i guess that was all myfault.

My LT1 got me out of a ticket once.

cruising 15 over in a place famous for being sticklers (small town, nice country road) saw a cop on a dusty side road too late. He apparently saw me too as I saw dirt boiling out from under his car. By the time he made it to the road I was on I was already 1/4 mile ahead (he parked like 100' down the dirt road so all he saw in the window afforded him by the trees on either side of HIS road was the side of my car, so no plates.) He did not have his lights on yet so I just layed it down. I never saw him again. No lights, no persuit. Thats how I call it. Most cops wait until they are RIGHT on you to turn on the lights. Never had the chance.

I don't quite understand what you mean by that? But either way I'm sure it's a gay law.

I got pulled over once and the cop said, "Damn this is a nice car" and let me go. I only got pulled for not wearing a seat belt, which i was only not wearing cuz it was a car show/cruise and everyone was moving at like 10 mph(stop 'n go traffic).

Lol, thats pretty cool. I've had compliments when I've been pulled over. One cop down here in a Charger was pretty cool, pulled me over for a retarded reason though. I was following a friend back home and he cuts me off with no signal or anything at all (not a UC charger, black/white lights and all), so I'm immediately on his tail because there wasn't really room for him to get in. Well I didn't back off, I stayed on him (i usually keep my distance because of rock chips, but we were going like 40 on a nice new road), he slowed down so I passed him and got back behind my friend and infront of him. He lights em' up after a few seconds and pulls me over and gives me a warning about having my foglights on! Compliments my car, and takes off.

My car has gotten me out of a lot of crap. Many of the cops around here are big muscle car enthusiasts and usually end up shooting the **** with me about the car. Out of all the times I've been stopped in it I've only gotten one ticket (failure to obey traffic signal). Last time I was stopped in my Silverado the cop reconized me, he laughed and asked me if my license was still good, then sent me on my way.

I think the biggest part of getting out of a ticket is pulling over right away and just being cool with the cop.

i got myself off the hook for doing 90 in a 40 once, after the cop gave me a writtin warning he started asking about my car 'do you got flowmasters on this thing? -nope borla. 'wow does it sound good.. what gear were you in when you passed me anyways?' top of 3rd.. 'oyeah I used to own some mustangs myself when i was younger.... 20mins later 'well be safe out there'...
but another time it was totally the opposite, one of the first things out of the cop's mouth was, 'i dont car what you got in here..your fuel injection..and and dual exhaust' -but officer you've got the same on your crown vic...yeah i def got a ticket that time...

Well, its exactly like it sounds. I was driving Rt 287 (a 3 laned highway in NJ) and i was going roughly 73 in a 65, i wasn't passing people like crazy being most people do about 70 too. I was riding the middle lane and there were actually cars passing me up in the left lane as i was slowly passing cars up to the right of me. So the cop pulls me over. He didn't even say anything about speeding. He told me its illegal to ride the middle lane of traffic for as long as i was. Last i thought, that was only the far left lane and not the middle lane. I just sat there and took it. Plus he called my car a hotrod when it was basically a stock camaro back then. Really ******* he was. But i am more pissed off about the 25 in a 25. They truly profiled me because of the young kid in a fast car scenario and i pointed that out to the cop who pulled me over. I actually got testy with him because i did absolutely nothing wrong and he knew that. He let me go with a non written warning and told me "I am not going to write you up for anything this time" and i told him "You can't even, because i did nothing wrong and the tape on the front of your cruiser is evidence that i didn't." He said have a good night." I said "not really". End of story. needless to say, the local papers heard of that one.
