What's up.

I'm Jeff, originally from Louisiana, and now living in Houston.

I have a '99 Z28 that i'm looking to mod, so hopefully these forums will help me do just that.

thanks for having me~

Any truth to this?

cop: "i don't know how you louisiana boys do it but that's not the way we drive in texas"
me: well you pointed for me to pull over there, not under this bridge dude....
cop: "look if you're gonna cop an attitude with me we're gonna have a REAL PROBLEM!"
me: just give me the ticket please.
cop: /walks around my car inspecting every tag and continues to issue me a court summons.

price: $293.00

ya cops in texas dont do well with attitudes.

The more attitude you give them, the more they will write you up for and jack up your ticket price.

Just kiss their *** and then part ways. Maybe next time they will be nice enough to give you a warning.

That' s what pisses me off about cops. There' s no reason to be a dick in MOST cases. There are a lot of cases where they have to be ********, especially considering the stupidity officers have to deal with! I would flashed my ID and told him where to stick it!
