LOL, I had some woman in her late 50's or early 60's yell at me saying I go too fast through the neighborhood when all I did was come around a corner and hit the gas about half throttle. Exhaust made a lot of noise though, and she yelled "SLOW DOWN!!" at me. The funny part is that I could not have been going more than 20 mph.

hahahahah......that's almost the exact thing that happend to me today after i got off work......normally i warm up my engine b4 i get off after a 8 hours shift......but today i had to be home quick, so i drove it as soon as i got in it......as i was leaving i lightly tap on the gas when 2 older ladies where like "it's a parking lot, slow down".....i was going like 5-10mph:AF: ......it was due to the fact that when the engine is cold, the CAI makes a big grumble down low when i tap on the gas:chuckles: :chuckles:

i installed the reverse indiglows on my car today.. but i f*cked up the need and put it on wrong... so it was reading 30mph over what i was actually going... anyway i busted by a cop doing 86 in a 50... when he pulled me over i described the whole thing to him... and he goes.. give you your registration and insurance... lol... so i give it to him.. and guess what: registration :expired... insurance: expired... he goes and checks it out and makes sure that i actually do have a registration and insurance.. then comes back with a failure to show docs ticket... which is 44 bux and no pts as opposed to something that would've gotten me numberous court headaches.

when ppl tell me to slow down and im not breaking any speed laws, i ususally step out of my car for a little bit...
they ususally get some "aggressive negotiations"
last guy i ended up going "no THIS is going to fast" and doing a burnout out of the neighborhood. (peg leg cause i didnt have lsd)
i had just isntalled my tanabe and was doing 25 in first gear.

Yeah, you're lucky... I got a ticket for five over which was $95 and 2 pts, and I got another ticket for failure to show proof of insurance, and that was $795.00 :eek:
But all I have to do is go to the courthouse and show Proof of Ins. and they'll throw it out...
Be glad you don't live on the West Coast, I can't wait to get to Michigan...

yea i wanted to, but ehh...im jus gonna rev my ish loud as fuk everytime i leave or come home from now on.
yeah the other day I was kind of in a hurry on my way home so when I turned into my neighborhood I dropped it in first and ran it up to about 5k down the street. This young mom and her little kid are outside. The kid is playing around on the sidewalk and in the grass and this lady busts out a full sprint and runs and grabs up her child (like I was going to drive onto her yard and run over her child or something.. lol). then she was like waving her arms saying slow down! slow down! :chuckles:

This is really the Looks fast...
I was going home at night..
And was switching lane couple of time cause of the open lane on stop light..
After going... normal driving.. this white chevy sedan.. go little faster then me and switchs into my lane.. so what I normally do is switch other lane .. cause I dont' like people in front of me..
and he swich in front of me... so I went back to my lane...
Then that car went back of me and start flashing red lights at me... it was one of those undercover cop car..
And right away I pulled over... and he was folling behind me.. but then drives side of me.. and yelling at me.. "Slow down"...
All these were driving at the speed limit... maybe little less..
I wasn't scare being pull over.. but mad.. I didn't even past the speed limit and he is telling me to slow down...

after you get pulled over, after all is said and done, is it better to leave first, or let the cop leave first? will the cop even go first?
these story are really where the inspiration of the commerical came from.. i need this link at honda tech.com
eheh one time at noon i was driving down by my neighborhood....at like 40 mph....no kids at all..they are al lin school...i knew that..this mom follows me to my house and gets out tellnig me that kids are playing in the neighborhood at all times......i asked her if she had kids...she said 2..i asked what grade she said 6 and 8 so i was like they are in school aren't they..she was like ohh...

Yeah, I got busted for a cop once too for supposedly going 80. He didn't get me on radar and said he knew that I was going that fast since he was going that speed (he was on the way to a call). Needless to say, the worst they did was call my parents and let me off with a warning. I just had to be really nice, and act scared. LOL. :chuckles:
