Beware Of The Novato Pd...

I got pulled over yesterday in my STi (SR50, FMIC, everything else) and got a smog ref ticket...

Apparently they just finished taking a course on "Modified Cars" and are going to be cracking down big time...

Just wanted to warn everyone that Novato is no longer "Modified Car Friendly" as it used to be...

Damn sorry to hear that, Kevin was telling me on Friday that they just swapped up training on modified vehicles. Guess I'll be driving around the PS from now on.

If you need a map to find it, you're probably nowhere near it, so I wouldn't worry...

Sucks for us here in the North Bay, though. Another reason to drive a stealthy FXT mommy mobile...

Effin police. Nothing better to do I guess. Lord knows they can't spend time catching dangerous criminals. Why don't they ever stop Harley guys. There always over the db limit and you know they all modify their exhaust.
