hmmm.. =) .. i'm guessing you might have moved to Va Beach as well, or was in the military, etc..... you can't find parts like that out there in Va beach.. shops out there are clueless.. then again i could be corrected.. its been 5 yrs for me, since i lived out there..
i do see the va state inspection sicker :coolugh:
very clean looking ride.. must be a show car/ driver..
yeah shops out here dont know jack. most of the parts are from autofashion and session usa. matter of factly most people dont even know about this out here. im just a black sheep to all the dub cars rolling around. :smiley-rofl:
yup that is the dreaded state inspection sticker. :pat: it ruins the look of the front of the car.
funny story i got pulled over by virginia beaches finest a couple of nights ago.
story goes:
im crusing at the speed limit when a cop decides to pace me after a block the lights go on and i pull into a left turn lane and wait.
cop sits in his car an a minute later his backup arrives and blocks the left lane of on the on coming side.
both police exit their vehicles. police man that pulled me over walks as far as my left rear door.
i roll down my window.
officer: good evening.
me: good evening sir. what seems to be the problem.
officer: i do not look around corners. (he cant seem cuz of the curtains and has his hand on his fire arm)
me: sticking my head out the window. yes sir?
officer: license and registration
me: (handing over license)
officer: do you know why i pulled you over?
me: no sir.
officer: you have altered suspension. do you know virginia law on ride height?
me: no sir.
officer: you should have 14" of clearance. you definitely dont have that. your registration please.
me: i need to reach in my glove box is that ok?
officer: yes (while hand is still on weapon)
me: hand over registration.
officer: walks away. comes back after a few minutes. back up cop is to the right rear of my car now. original officer comes back to my car and measures side of car!! says im at 6.5" says hes gonna write me a ticket. also my exhaust is altered but its not that loud so hes gonna let it slide.
me: its on air suspension. can i lift it?
officer: well you can lift it and take a picture and contest it in court.
me:......
officer: ill be right back.
both officers end up talking behind my car for several minutes. do something at the rear of my car and officer comes back.
officer: you did say this is on air suspension?
me: yes sir.
officer: well you actually not that far of the limit. i suggest you lift it. ill let you go with a warning.
me: thank you sir.
moral of the story??? cops dont even know what they are doing around here. how did i go from 7.5" below the legal limit to a warning??? cuz he didnt measure it from the right spot and wants to harass me cuz i have a modded car. hahahahha
i roll around with a two finger gap between my tire and fenders. which really isnt that low.
car is daily driven. didnt want to pay to fill up the rover every two days with gas. lol
