It was trooper crazy between Buffalo and Rochester earlier today as well.

I was going from Sheriden to Transit, heading North. There was about 3 troopers stopping cars as they came around. They glanced in the car and said to move along. Wasn’t even checking for inspection/registration.

Saw a few stops last weekend that I thought were DWI checks but they were looking for phones. Rolled right through without a front plate.

Thought I was getting pulled over on lunch. Pulled out of the gas station on Main by Goodrich, had to beat traffic on both sides, hit the gas to go across the lanes and make a left… had to wait for the guy pulling in, so went around him and hit my WEEETEC which caused the ass end to slide sideways and make a bunch of loud happy noises. I look and see a state trooper as the only car sitting at the light on Goodrich turning my way. lol Thankfully it must have been lunch of the end of his shift.

I’ve been stopped there. Inspection. You cant turn away once you see them. That is a prime place they hid.

That would be a badass turn to drift… Not during the lunch hour though
Yamba6: There’s nowhere to turn away to! They got you there.

I know this has been spotted before, but I actually witnessed it being driven, sounded like ass. Sorry for the terrible pic (and streaky windshield), only had an opportunity at the 290 overpass at Sheridan and Harlem.

Also, later spotted at Main and Union an SUV and pickup truck at the same time being pushed off the road. Caused some decent back up during the afternoon traffic.

It’s a complete pile, my streaky windows and terrible overpass lighting actually make that monstrosity look better.

Spotted the bright orange Lotus Esprit on Grand Island this past week/weekend and haven’t had a chance to make note of it here. It was at Mr Best Wrench on Bedell Rd on Grand Island. Such a nice car and one of only a few I’d ever consider that color on.
---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------
Also spotted around 7pm was a Newer gen Red GTO getting on the Grand Island bridge.
Also pass a Red GTO always parked by the NFTA and Boces on Arrow dr.
