I've been pulled over 3 times now. I have had the car since November. I haven't been pulled over before this for over a year. got me twice for inspection and speeding(hardly was speeding but got screwed) and another time cause of no plate in the front. My last car I never had a plate in the front for a year and a half and never got pulled. Definitely being targeted more in this car. I'm sure it will get worse once I get an exhaust on.

I get a lot less cop attention than with my last car, but then again I was driving a swapped civic with a loud exhaust and carbon hood/trunk, lowered etc.

The S is quiet and stock and not bothering anybody.

I had a JDM plate on the front of my civic and got pulled over twice, I got the bumper plugs for the S in December and haven't been pulled yet.... knock on wood. Cops are a lot nicer to me now.

A little, but I know I didn't go over 50. I think I got up to 50 in the 40. Speed limits are so dumb. I had just turned off another road where the limit was 45, and the road I got pulled over on was a 40 mph speed limit. There was no sign to tell you this. And in this town the cops have nothing to do but write tickets.

18, never pulled over. Obey traffic laws. Living in a small midwest town where you know all 20 of the police officers: priceless.

In over 3 1/2 years of ownership, I've never been pulled over.


All I have exterior wise is wheels and I'm lowered, but i do have some junk under the hood.

I only got chewed out by Williamson County for following him (at a safe distance) as he ran 80 in a 55 without emergency signals on. He bitched me out at a light so I just put up the top and ignored him.

We have real asshole cops here. They will run 20 over the limit while running radar at oncoming traffic.

Hey Williamson County; howzabout setting a good example!

:-)
