Looks like this isnt just happening in Niagra.
Last night around 12:00pm I was leaving Commerce Gate. After staying with a couple buddies there i decided to head to another buddies house. As i get onto highway 7 it looked as if the road had exploded. Over 20 police units, and over 20 vehicles pulled over. All of them above the $40,000 price. There were s2000’s, bikes, mercedes, subarus, and…2 mark4 supras, 1 silver, 1 green. As i was driving through the cop yelled out to me to pull over.
At this point i knew i was getting an exhaust ticket and potentially fucked for my suspension.
The 2 cops ask for my papers and ask to pop the hood. Not having anything to hide, i do kindly. I watched them as they poped the hood looked around the engine bay with their flashlight and knew…they had no fucking clue what the hell they were looking for. Their faces were clueless…i said “Mostly stock” and the cop goes…" Oh Ok" and closes the hood. One officer walks away the other does routine checks to my car. Signals, front and rear. Than walks away…a couple feet away from my car he says, “Oh wait! Does your horn work?”…So i honk. Again he starts walking away, “Oh wait! Turn your lights on again i’d like to check your license plate light”. So i do…confirms and again walks away. Comes back about 7 minutes later and starts looking at my front suspension. Now like Jesse, i have my brake lines ziptied so theres no rubbing or play, which i thought he was going to mention…I guess he didnt notice. He asks me to turn all the way to the right and than jiggle the tire…lol. Repeated on the passenger side.
After all was said and done with his inspection he starts walking away again…than notices my exhaust. He says that things not legal, i state that i’ve had it tested and its met the db standards. He says, “The what?”. I was speechless…
He walks back to his truck, grabs my papers, hands them over to me and says, “Here you go, i’ll give you a break on the exhaust but you should get a manufacturer one or you’ll be bothered again.”…
So i drive away with an un-noticed SHOT lower control arm (Drivers side) and ball joint, BLOWN front right shock, and a pepsi bottle cap blocking off the black emission box that pipes into the stock intake, a pretty loud exhaust, and no 3rd brake light ![:wink: :wink:](https://nyspeed.ltcmp.net/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=5)
I got lucky, i’m not going to lie, but i asked one of the officers that i was having a conversation with, how long the 2 supra’s were there for…he stated they’ve been here for over an hour…
AND…there was media coverage.
On the way to CG, Will’s House, and Home…I counted 8 vehicles pulled over, 2 chases, and 2 cops just cruising. Not including the ERASE program.
All within small hours…
Definatly a Blitz. I HIGHLY suggest to everyone here, especially this weekend, do the speed limit.
