Hell yeah! I learned to drive by always running town to town on those crazy twisty country backroads. There were never really any cops (or even other cars for that matter) on them either. That is truly one thing I miss (moved to the city) about the country. It was like having my own personal test track, except with the constant fear of hitting deer at night time, which happened, many, many times. I really don't miss the smell of cow dung in the spring/summer time though

Interesting situation! It certainly wouldn't hurt to make a friend at one of the local law enforcement agencies and in a really small town, that isn't too hard as people usually know each other. A greater sense of community can be a real PITA!

Sorry but this is kinda funny.

Seriously, I think they should be doing something better or more productive.

Try living in Martinsville VA. The cops here seem to be fairly cool, but venture outside the 4 sq miles that is Martinsville and you are getting nailed no matter what. I even have an RS with no spoiler and was pulled over by a state trooper (With my wife in the car) I was not speeding, he just said I have an "Unapproved exhaust".

He refused to ellaborate at all on what "Unapproved" Meant!

I called and spoke to his commanding officer and was told that "Young punks that drive street racers, get pulled over a lot. It's just something you have to deal with".

So I contacted Internal affairs and filed a harassment/profiling complaint. I am also in the process of contacting the ACLU to see if they can help.

Maybe by the time I'm done with the VA state troopers they will be buying me another EVO.......

Yeah Im pretty sure the wing is coming off. I wish I had a paint booth. That would be pretty fun. Everytime I pass a cop, they are breaking their friggin necks watching me. Im thinking I might just mind my p's and q's for a while, and wave to every single cop I see. Kinda like "HEY, look at me, Im doing the speed limit!!" Im 27, look younger, and obviously act a bit youger sometimes.

I live in a town with about 6800 people in it and the cops definitely keep an eye out for me.

Every time I pass them they're glued to my car like stink on ****. It's really annoying that I get pegged for having the EVO over other cars. Seems like the cops around my area are pretty decent. There's another guy in my town that has a modified EVO and he says he doesn't get bothered too much, but who knows.

All I know is that the cops keep an eye out for my EVO... gotta watch your speed and hope you don't p1ss them off.
