Only two of the officers asked me about my gun.
All 4 times I got let off with a verbal warning.

Where the warnings oral or written?

LOL

thanks for the concern, guys - ive had to address this kind of thing before and while, again, i do appreciate the concern for my well being... i figure at least 5,000 people see my license plate on a daily basis. between traffic, parking lots and car shows i'd have to guess that there are almost 30,000 people every week that see my plates. if any one of them wanted to track me down, they would have no problem doing so - as you can see by the above posts ;)

i used to edit all of my pictures and videos that were to be posted online, however, after years of doing that over and over again i just gave up.

Glad the LEO had interest in the goat. If it had been a mustang, you might not have been so lucky!
Wonder how many other gastiresoil guys are on here??

hey hey!!!

i agree with the mustang statement

not sure who else is on here, i know randall stops in once in a while... but other than that, dunno.

let's go shooting sometime soon!! GTO shooting day!

You've been stopped twice and no ticket either time...

More likely than not that plastic card contributed to saving your bahookey both times.

Slow down there whipper snapper!

lol

you're probably right regarding the card saving me... it's just odd that i haven't been stopped in YEARS and now, all of the sudden, twice in less than 2 months?!

and for what it's worth, neither time was for a moving violation... im a good driver. ;)

Are you into aftermarket improvements or is your car falling apart?
Back when I owned some early 80's Toyotas I used to be a little bit into aftermarket (WAY after market with 20 year old cars) modifications to my cars. Now that I'm married with a kid on the way its more like my car looks like its falling apart because I don't have the cash to spare for the $1000 deductible to fix the cosmetic damages.

my car is a muscle car... 2004 GTO with tons of performance mods and some appearance mods - it looks good and sounds like a top fuel dragster when it takes off. ;)


i feel you on the 'failing quality of my ride' front as well, ive had to go through some rough times lately, luckily for me my 9 month unemployment streak just ended last week and my family is going to be ok. in fact, the day i found out i got the job - i washed the 'for sale' ad off the back of my car's window ;)

that was a joyous occasion for sure!!

amen to that, brother.

haven't been pulled over in YEARS and as soon as i get my plastic, 5-0 seem to be falling from the sky!!


got popped the other day for an HOV infraction... i travel the same route every day and the one day my traveling partner stays home sick is the same day there happens to be a HOV enforcement officer sitting there. unfortunately for me, i hadn't had my coffee yet so i hopped onto the HOV out of habit.

first time EVER seeing an officer there... and i take the HOV almost every day.

guy was VERY cool, handed him my TDL/CHL and he didnt even read it. looked it over, handed it back to me and proceeded to ask, 'man - what all have you done to this car?!'

LOL

very nice guy, let me off with a warning and engaged in pleasant conversation the whole time.

he was metro motorcycle, by the way.
