As If You Didn't Know Already

[mmmbop]

Fitting an exhaust pipe the width of a soft drink can to your car won't just attract the attention of the neighbours and passers by, it's likely to get the cops on your tail.

A former senior highway patrol officer says heavily modified Japanese imports garner the most attention from the boys in blue.

"The cars with the big drainpipe exhausts — the Subaru WRXs and the [Nissan] Skylines and [Toyota] Supras — you look pretty hard at because they've usually been heavily modified and the modifications can be illegal," he says.

i hate The Age reporters too

[Husky33]

yeah i read that today. A bit dissapointing but at the end of the day we all know imports gets targetted more, always have and probably will be.

And let's be honest here, most guys driving around in imports have some sort of illegal shit hanging off it, so it's easy picking really.

[Mr Eps]

..... are we REALLY doing this??

like - is this ACTUALLY what we're doing on a friday?

*sigh*

what planet are you from, i don't even know how to talk to him...

i mean no disrespect.

no but seriously - if you wrote this, in my eyes that means you are the worst journalist ever. i have NEVER seen such a shameless attempt at inflammatory writing styles, and what's with your contradictions? if you're going to have a "hard line" at a point then stick to it? don't retract it a sentence later...

"there's a website i found that thinks that hummers are not good cars, but i talked to a guy that drives a hummer and he says it's a good car"

"there's a guy that i talked to when i was writing this article that says he doesn't like ferraris, but then a while after that i talked to a guy that says he DOES have a ferrari and likes it"

there is no conclusion to this article. this is singularly the worst piece of garbage i have ever read.

it reads like something that those clowns at TMZ would write..

"Renae Zelwigger shows us that she's NOT afraid to do shopping... ALONNNNNEEEEE????"[/b]

*shows clip of renae zelwigger walking out of a cafe sipping an orange mocha frappuccino*

"Prestige cars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis typically don't raise an eyebrow" according to S. Lacey's (28/1/11) article.

So it's only now that I realise I've bought the wrong car...

"Most highway patrol officers appreciate a nice V8. If you get pulled over in one of those, it's more likely to be because they want to have a closer look at it," he says

Such disappointing comments...

I'm a cop and I don't share this view (obviously).

I do agree though, most HWP blokes are older and only appreciate v8's for obvious reasons... that's all they knew growing up etc.

It's just a shame that imports have this stigma attached to them... especially with a certain genre of people.

I kinda don't like telling people what car I drive... I immediately get the "fully sick lebo car eh???"

[PM-R33]

I was reading that article on the BMW forums (e90post)lol.

Holy shit your a cop?!?!

So Mr. Police Officer, would you pull over a pretty girl in a bayside blue r34 with a decent exhaust?

[RB25PWR]

Yeah... but not because you're in a skyline, because you're a girl.
