Car Racism?

speedphreak · #1 07-19-2005, 11:11 PM

Ok, so I was sitting at a light and a police officer pulls up behind me. Okay, whatever.....So I am marrily waiting for the light to change and the officer puts his spot light on my car! I was like WTF?! He moved it around and what not, then shut it off. This made me really worried, like he was gonna bust me for some BS crap. I have been pulled over just to be messed with because of the car I drive!!! I have a 2003 Subaru WRX. It has all the basic stuff on it like exhaust (no fart can) and the like. So why must police mess with us who have cars like this ....ie, japanese "souped up" cars. Do they assume we are going to do something stupid so they can meet their quota??? Ok, i am done

Its because a good bit of people who drive "souped up" (like campbells chicken noodle) cars do stupid things. Think about how many times you have seen some idiot in a civic with a fart can and neons almost slam into a pole because his pencil width tires cant get any traction in the rain, or joe hotrod in his 5.0 blast through a redlight going about 90mph. By owning a car and modding it you are going to draw some attention, unless you drive a nitrous powered honda odyssey (yes ive seen one) Just keep a spotlight in your car and if it ever happens again just shine it right back. God I would love to do that if it ever happens to me.

Just be glad the cop put the spot light on you before you took off. Atleast you knew he was there before you even did anything. Not saying you would have, but hey, there was the notification that he was behind you. Some cops just do it for intimidation purposes. They like to keep you in check. But, not all cops are that way. Anyway...

Because WRX's get pinched all the time.

Couldnt see the product but are you talking about those deer lights or whatever that are like as huge as your open hand? Those are powerful, friend shined that thing on me and I was BLINDED, they're awesome.

Pretty nice smoke detector I suppose, is the light that bright though??

Edit: We have two 10 Million candlepower spotlights and a person can stand 50 feet away, and if you shine the beam on them they can feel the heat off it. If I stand on our roof I can wake the neighbors up by shining in their windows, not that I've done that though. Cabela's now has a 15 mil that we'll probably get soon.

sorry lol. link keep rerouting

The H-3 100 W/12 V ultra white bulb provides a crisp beam visible for up to 2 miles.

2.25 Million candle Power Series Spotlight.....and if I thought that was powerful, 15 million? jeeze. I'm thinking instant sunburn...

v10_viper · #12 07-20-2005, 03:08 AM

Link still no work, for me anyways.

sivic02 · #13 07-20-2005, 03:12 AM

Ive got a couple 2 bagillion (im drunk, to me 2 million = 2 bagillion) spotlights, they are great!

speedphreak · #14 07-20-2005, 08:33 AM

WOW, this one veared just a bit to the left! lol Anyways, yeah...Cops are kind of annoying when it comes to "keeping you in check" just because they think your stupid. I have enough common sense to think..I am driving a WRX...there is a cop behind me...OK so I am not going to launch or challenge the guy next to me to race! LOL
