That's crazy man, 2 cops that have pulled me over acted really defensive towards me.. i hate cops who are small and thin but act like chihuahuas behind their badge..

And about the AMS parts, i called AMS today to order the rest of my bolt-ons, they were closed so now i have to wait till monday to order.

Merry Christmas Guys!!!

The stones were an addition to add some useful parking space out front. The Evo lives in the garage though.
Also, forgot the cliff notes for this one:
Got Perrin 1" Shorty Antenna and Drop-in filter on Monday.
AMS UICP on Tuesday night, installed Wednesday and love it.

Pulled over by a cop who loved my Evo and asked me some comical questions (and restored faith in the police as car enthusiast archetype!). The dialogue between me and him, towards the bottom of the original post, is worth the read.

Then today I got to drive the Evo in some SERIOUS snow (yes, in Texas) and used the SNOW setting on the S-AWC for probably the first and only time I'll ever use it. It will be a very white Christmas. Merry Christmas and blessings to everyone.

Thanks, I have run into a few cool cops in my day. Yeah I have a X MR, love it. You may use snow mode more often then you think, guys are getting better 1/4 mile numbers in Gravel and snow mode. All it does is put more power to the front wheels. I have heard Tarmac 70/30 rear/front, Gravel 60/40, Snow 50/50 good luck

Nothing against the MR, it rocks. Just a stab at you "getting old"... That's interesting info about the S-AWC settings, can anyone confirm this?

Ya i have had similiar cases with the cops many times with my motorcycle though not the car. I was going around 90 and a cop pulled me over and just said he was suprised i stopped, and then told me about some fun roads to go hit! It was pretty awesome not going to lie.

Second post from the top of this page.

The Ralliart/2010 tails do make a dramatic difference, especially on some colors (GG being perhaps the main one of them!). Definitely recommend them in almost every case.
