lol i wasn't the photographer man (where was the legacy parked again? lol jk)...I like your legacy's color. It will look sick with some black wheels, drop, and tint.
I totally agree..biweekly maybe??? I'm up for meets on Sundays.. nice relaxing day...hopefully legacy won't be stock next time either =)
great meet guys, lots of people showed up. it was good to see everyone and meet some of you guys i havnt met yet. im down for doing this more often too.
oh yea, i got pulled over also. i was following behind a vw beetle and we made a right hand turn and a cop was sitting on the side of the road in a parking lot and the beetle slowed down being nervous and we wernt even speeding. then the cop pulls out behind us and follows us for about a half a mile. the road we were on is really cury and the beetle kept hitting his breaks. i just let off the gas while going around the turns. the road was forking and the beetle went left and i tuened right onto the road my neighborhood is on and the blue lights turned on. the cop came up and asked for liscense and insurance, i gave it to him and asked why he pulled me over and he said " you were following that car in front of u to closely." i was like we made that turn and the bettle slowed cause he saw you then he hit his breaks on all the curves and just cause i didnt hit my breaks i was following to close. he went back to his car ran my liscense and came back and said your free to go, just drive safer out here. the cop had nothing better to do than give me a hard time for nothing. he needed to be out looking for meth heads or something.
You didn't get a ticket, don't take it personally...... the little stuff leads to bigger stuff way more often than you think..... suspended license, outstanding warrants, drugs, serial killer, etc..... Ted Bundy was caught when he was pulled over for a minor traffic violation.... most of the time when you get pulled over for stupid stuff like a tag light out or a cracked taillight lens, that's what they're looking for..... cut the guy a break for doing his job.....
Maybe the next time ill bring tools Didnt know you cant wait till you get home glad you were able to show others how efficient and the fitment of the parts maybe next time ill bring a gage to see how much the engine stops moving with the pitch stop
Next time we need wet tshirt car wash you guys car are filthy Ill make sure i throw mud on mine if we have wet tshirt car wash
my brother in-law is a police officer in cartersville, so i know about all the reasons behind people getting pulled over. the thing is that just because the car is loud and has big wheels on it and has some tint on it doesnt give them the right to herass you. i mean come on.... give me a break!
Sure, I can see that if a cop was targeting a normal looking car. But I highly doubt a "Ted Bundy", would be driving a modified car with an exhaust and other mods.
seriously. way out in the boon docks of Cumming Georgia the cop is just sitting on a road that is pretty much just traffic from people commuting back and forth to home, all of a suddon a bright blue car with a loud exhaust and wheels rolls by and wow i have to pull him over he has to be doing something wrong. thats the reason i moved out of the snellville area. those police officers had nothing better to do than to follow me around any time i drove by them and pull me over for stupid things that didnt even warrent pulling me over. its profiling and that is all.
And I Had Atleast 2.5 Car Lengths Between Me And The Beetle. The Officer Was Obviously Using The Following To Close As An Excuse To Pull Me Over.
WE WERE SEEN!!!!!! got 2 hits so far on us rolling yesterday:ddirty: Whats up man? I passed you on hwy 124 yesterday near steak and shake around 7:45 or so. Did you see me? I revved at you. That was a nice little crew of scoobies you were waiting on.
We went there but there was no "open" lanes and apparently they don't serve alcohol in Snellville on Sundays? :hsugh: Not that we were looking to get trashed or anything but just wanted to have a frosty adult beverage and bowl....wasn't happening....We tried to find the Sonic you guys went to but the closest one that pulled up on Fareed's navigation had no subies at it so...we tried.. :hs: Sorry Will....you should know better by now not to follow me of all people :keke:
It was cool to meet all you guys. I think we should do this more often but maybe we can do something closer to my side of the planet. I will post some pics soon! see you guys next time! Steven...Marta police are real cops...I am so tired of all the azz cops...go arrest some one like my godsons father whos smoking meth...or maybe a rapist or a murderer!!! enough venting for me today... It was a great meet though!!!
because they think they're doing nothing wrong, its not going to occur to most people... gee, car modification is expensive and usually pervasive with theft and drug dealing...
Take it easy bro...... profiling vehicles is quite different from profiling by race or religion or lifestyle..... it sucks, I suppose, that you got pulled over, but you didn't get a ticket, you didn't get harassed, you didn't get roughed up, so things are alright and life goes on..... now, it was not my intention to post in this thread to get folks stirred up about the cops, my apologies to the OP..... On that note, I had planned on coming down but as the STi is our only fully-functioning vehicle at the moment, my fiance jacked it for the evening...... hopefully I'll get to stop by next time around, looks like you guys had a good turnout.....
its not really that big of a deal, im kinda used to getting pulled over actually. thats why i am so ticked off about it. i have many speeding tickets and yea, i deserved to get them, but then when im not doing anything wrong "BAM" i still get pulled over. the thing is that as soon as i saw the cop i knew he was going to pull me over, i was just waiting to see what his excuse was going to be. but whatever, as you said life goes on.
I find that Im not pulled over much in my grocery getting mom wagon LOL, but slowly its starting to not look nor sound like one anymore
I saw you guys yesterday on Sugarloaf around 7:45 or so, I was going the other way. I saw some really blue headlights in the distance and thought bad things. I was sad to see a Subaru sporting them.
Sorry, we went to the bowling alley and they did NOT serve beer/liquer at all pool tables didnt work and it was a long wait for a lane. would have waited but no beer made us leave. We tried to go to sonic but we went to the wrong one. so we missed U guyz.
you say that like I should have a problem with it. ;p Even with what was said about how it happened, its not like the cop was openly disrespecting anyone in either story. They told them clearly, they weren't veiled threats, they didn't call for backup and intimidate needlessly... ...come on guys. Give em the benefit of the doubt. No-one wants to be pulled over. And I'm sure if the cop knew you already, they'd probably rather not pull you over either if they didn't see you obviously doing something wrong. They're just human.
actually another cop car arrived shortly after the officer took my liscense. but no biggie, they were just doing there job rite.:hsugh:
Did it take 30 minutes for back up like last weekend. That makes it 2 weeks in a row. You should try to go for 3 after dyno day. :rofl:
IOT DIDNT TAKE LONG AT ALL FOR BACK UP, THE BACK UP CAR CAME WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF GETTING PULLED OVER. AS FAR AS MAKING IT 3 IN A ROW, I DONT WANT TO PUSH MY LUCK.
When I got pulled over in Cumming a couple of years ago the back up car and a tow truck came before he ran my license and registration.
well duh, we all know wrx/sti owners carry guns and are extremely violent, thats why he called for back up
I Have Enough Speeding Tickets On My Record As It Is And Thats The Only Thing I Get Into Trouble For.
