sr 240sx impounded in san diego

[ballr858]

My car was just impounded in San Diego. I was originally pulled over for not having a front license plate. I had 2 police officers circling my car for some time while another officer was writing me a ticket. I have a very noticeable front mount intercooler and it looked like they were paying special attention to it. The bad news is they impounded it for not being registered in over 6 months, and I also received a ticket for no front license plate and no proof of insurance (I had it in my room). The good news is they never popped my hood or asked about any illegal modifications. I was shocked! The officer writing me the ticket seemed pretty cool and was telling me about a car that he has that can't pass smog, so I have a feeling he knew my car was modifed and was understanding about it. So i'll be getting my car out of the impound tomorrow after I hit up the DMV and get stuff squared away. I just hope the fukkers at the tow yard aren't practicing drifting in their yard.

Anyways, just wanted to share.

LUCKY...I got pulled over in my SR for a supposedly too loud exhaust (3 inch w/testpipe, no resonator) and the cop was pretty cool about it and let me go with a warning. Even though 2 other squad cars showed up.

My exhaust is sorta loud too but I guess not loud enough to piss them off. I have the rsr ex-mag so i guess they thought it was stock LOL. Good thing too because I have an 80mm turbo back exhaust with a test pipe.

Yeah I am extremely lucky they didn't check under my hood. This is the first time i've been pulled over in this car since it's had an sr so I thought for sure I was doomed. It was impounded this morning after not being registered since March 2006! I just got off the phone with the towing company and if I get it out tomorrow it will be a total of $418 (what a rip!). There is a police department fee, towing fee, extra labor fee because it took like 40 minutes to get on the flatbed (lowered), storage fee, and another $68 for an additional day if I can't stop by before 9:00am. There's no way I can go to the DMV and be done by 9:00. Why does it have to be Memorial Day? If it wasn't a damn holiday i'd take care of this sh!t right now.

Yeah I knew I had it coming.

[spinitsidewayz]

Please don't tell me you drive around with no registration...

You sure they pulled you over for no front plate? Or was it because your tags are expired? Or because you can't have a front plate because you are driving without a front bumper...

I've been driving around with no front plate (didn't have one when i bought it) passing by a good number of cops and i haven't been pulled over yet, although now im getting a little paranoid.

[ECR33S14]

i am glad we dont have as much shit to go through with our cars over here. sucks to hear what happened though man.

[HEATHE]

they are impounding cars like they get to keep them up here in fresno in vegas they never bothered us unless they caught us racing after i moved to fresno i wanted to move right back to vegas

[swayray]

lucky for me i traded my sr for a KA... wait... that did not sound right....

[Chez]

man in the north east i could put a 302 in a festiva and the cops would prolly clear the highway for me to see how fast i could get it up to 150! lol and in cali they bust you for having a turbo on a car that in america didnt come with one but in japan it was stock. that just doesnt make sense. this is america land of the free. or so we thought....

ballr858> My car was just impounded in San Diego.

- not having a front license plate
- I have a very noticeable front mount intercooler
- not being registered in over 6 months
- no proof of insurance (I had it in my anus)
- illegal modifications.

I just hope the fukkers at the tow yard aren't gang-banging my car

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidiot

Serious, were you NOT expecting these things to happen to you? This is darwinism at its best. The LEAST you can do, is keep your car registered. The plate, yeah.. a lot of people dont like front plates. Intercooler, yeah.. not everyone wants to be covert, ok.. fine.. your risk. Illegal modifications, whatever.

But how fucking STUPID do you have to be to NOT have insurance with you and to keep your POS registered? Serious. They should set your car on fire, staple the registration and proof of insurance to your forehead - maybe that will help refresh your memory for future incidents.

^ What he said times three.

"Hey guys, I'm the most ignorant fuck in the World for driving a car without any sort of registration or proof of insurance, hope they don't pop my hood and get me for more violations".

You deserve to lose both your license and your car for that bit of stupidity.

i think you got it easy- a few weeks ago after working all weekend then drinking on the last night i got two hours of sleep to wake up to a phone call from my friend telling me my car is on top of a tow truck.

i went out side my car was on a truck the bitch parking lady called the cops because i started pulling shit out of my car cop cam then i almost got taserd (o she towed it because it was not reg but i had tags from my old car on so i dont know why she checked plates)

i went to go find reg found out it was like 200$ then i went to get my car and the towing people said i had to get a a from from the police so i went back 115$ for that then back to get my car 150$ and when i got my car she left a 85$ ticket.

oh and thats not all when i drove home my alignment was all fucked up but i thought i went off because of the tow soo i did not drive for two weeks so i could save up to pay for all that and when i took my car to the shop turns out they hooked my car by the tie rod and bent the shit out of them.

so the next day i was gonna go get some new ones i pull out of my parking and my left tie rod snaped after 10 feet so i went back to the tow place nope they did not own up to it. o ya i had to get smoged another 150$ thats my story life sucks.

reg 200$
police from for car 110$
tow150$
ticket 85$
smog 150$
tie rods(that they broke) 40$
alignment 60$
having a taser gun pointed at you free

800$ just to get my car running on the street after a tow

[jspecusa]

this is almost as good as nitekids running from the cops, except this guy isnt badassed.

seriously, i vividly remember that day like it was yesterday. waking up, going to the computer to eat my bigass bowl of cereal and seeing a picture of henry's car with the police car drifting side-by-side.. ah yes, the wonders of photoshop.

nowadays, we just get stupid posts like this. tear... i miss those days.

Just 24 more hours and I can rep you.

Common man what were you thinking driving an unregistered car? Not having your proof of insurance in your glove box where it belongs doesn't help. Life is tough but don't make it any harder on yourself.

[switchflip]

wait a min i think i got it all wrong are we supposed to put people down here crap! dam i thought this was a nice place

[FaLKoN240]

LOL, you must not have learned much about Zilvia, in your year of being a member.

Seriously, you were asking for it. They didn't even pop your hood but you not being registered nor having a proof of insurance broke the camel's back.

Really? hmm last time I checked, Insurance was required by law. Registration was required by law. Driving is a privilege not a right. If you have a family and your driving without reg or Insurance then you should be put in Jail. Your endangering your family and your ability to support them far worse by ignoring those simple rules and requirements.
If you can't afford to keep your car registered and insured you should not be on the road.

P.S. your right up there with the OP in the brilliance department.

That's the biggest fucking load of BS yet. If you're going to lie about shit, at least make up a good story. Though I don't know exactly what you said because your typing skills are on par with a tree stump, you seem to be saying your family needed the money more so you chose to not pay insurance on your car. That's great. Let me ask, are there any modifications on your car? How'd you pay for them? Do you let other family members drive it? If so, then they're just as responsible. Here's what you meant to say:

"I couldn't afford to pay my insurance because after I got that mad tyte SR dropped in I was broke and my parents cut off my allowance".

[CKAMC]

this isnt myspace....

get a grip, there is reasons why we have laws in place....

I don't know why I didn't lock this before anyone posted.
