Had mine all over Schaumburg on Sunday. Was great to have it out cruising around again....except the ricers get very annoying. No I am not gonna race on Golf right in front of the Hoffman Estates police dept. I see cars pulled over right in front of there EVERY DAY!! Stupid ricers

I agree. Ive been trying to instigate something with the imports but they just look away. Kind of like a dog when they know they did something wrong.

I was out and about in schaumburg too in my camaro but I'm always out in my car as its my only car.

The F-body and stang drivers just as bad as the ricers. I had a moron try ****** with me in a purple M6 LT1 Camaro bashed up nose on it. Super genius should check his mirrors once in a while because there was a squad two cars back. Also another super smart short bus reject in a white Stang right in front of the schaumburg Police station trying to get me to race him. Hell last week another guy in a White Z28 was trying to get me to race in heavy traffic during rush hour on golf road at woodfield mall!

I agree theres a lot of stupidity out there. Inmaturity might be a better word.
Ive only had my car for a few weeks & I baby it for the most part. Never owned a fast car before. Its a whole new experience.

I screw around once in a while but I use common sense. heavy traffic, near schools, in front of Police departments just aren't places to do that kinda thing. you are right though Its immaturity.. I was that stupid when I was younger. That all ended after I got busted twice for drag racing. Getting arrested.. Car impounded.. thousands of dollars in lawyer fees.. and tons of wated time to get out of them really changed that.

Do you have front plates? I know its illegal not to have them but is that law enforced? I think my car would look better without them.

I know several people in the NW burbs who have gotten tickets for no front plate. I have never had a front plate on my SS and honestly I feel kinda lucky I have never gotten in trouble for no front plate. I don't drive the car that often though either and I try to behave.

I've never had a front plate on any car I owned. I've been pulled over several times and the cop has used that as an excuse to pull me over (thats what I get for hangin out at the BK in schaumburg once in a while) but I've never gotten a ticket for it in the burbs. I've gotten a couple warnings from Forest preserve cops about no front plate and a couple years ago in the city they must have had a stupid crack down on it because I got two tickets for no front plate in a month. Uncle is a chicago cop though so I got out of them.

I better keep mine on then. No sense in getting pulled over unnecessarily. Like to keep on good terms with the cops, you never know when you'll see 'em again.

I only had time to stop by Speed for a bit around 1.. it was jammed with cars and people and smoke from burnouts.. lol. then the cops showed up.

Every time I pulled onto Wise road all morning and afternoon long I saw at least 3 shiny clean F-bodys on the road.
