Default Found something strang in my driveway

I woke up the other day and found this sitting in my driveway


My friend left his 08 f350 with 12" lift 42x15.5x22" tires, tuner, intake, exhaust etc.. at my house for about a month, I need to set him up with some better shocks and such. It feels so strange driving this thing, you think that your going to run into someone when your 5 feet away lol

here it is compared to my project truck, it has a 5" lift and 31" right now but i have 35" tires for it but not putting them on till the truck is ready

lets just say the cops around where he lives have it out for him and his truck. The first day he had it they towed it and told him that even after he gets his mudflaps to cover the tires and everything to make it legal they will keep giving him a ticket. the cop said even if he goes to court and the ticket gets thrown out the cop will keep towing his truck and giving him tickets.. How crazy is that!

its funny because he does have a past when he hung with the wrong guys but his record is clean and they still pick on him.. The other day he got pulled over with his moto-cross bike in the back and they tried to tell him it was illegal to even have the bike in the back or on a trailer with out it being insured and registered which doesn't even make sense for a bike that is only driven on a track.

I'd tell the cop to f*ck off. If you're not doing anything illegal, their power can only go so far.

I was doing the speed limit once and one tried pulling me over. I just continued doing the speed limit and he eventually gave up. Then I got pulled over for my "improper muffler"...got into an argument with the cop because it's perfectly legal. He ended up giving me a warning because he knew I was right. I pulled away and held first until 5k and kept it there for a little while just to let him hear my proper muffler. lol

I don't condone that kind of activity but just sayin....

Thats called harassment! I would continue to let them pull me over untill about the 5-6 one then get a lawyer and try to sue for that.
