Oh ok, Yeah I've actually never seen Irish Car Bomb around or his car surprisingly and I live off myrtle as well. There is one WRB wrx or sti with a wing (havn't got a good look, but newer than bugeye) that I have seen drive down myrtle/old redwood a few times. Anyways I'm sure we will run into each other sometime.

Key word in these 'was pulled over' posts, is CHP. Granted, all LEO's seem to be under pressure to pull in money for city/state right now, but CHP is the state's hooker. I mean that literally. They are making money for the state, every time they're issuing citations. Clearly the Pimp (cali) has smacked the hoe (CHP) and said "***** get out there and make me money", and the hoe has no choice. They're pullin' tricks (tint, exhaust, intake, etc) for any kind of money. I don't agree with what's happening, at all, but I understand that the CHP has to do their job, or get fired. I'm basically going to avoid any highways/interstates as often as possible, and take city patrolled streets, as SRPD has a history, for me at least, of being super cool about stuff if you're honest and level headed.

I got really lucky when I got pulled over on my bike (motorcycle) on 101 south. I was going 85 and cutting traffic. I told the guy I was cold and tucked too low below the "window" and didn't realize I was going so fast. Then I told him that I cut traffic to not be in a pocket of cars because it leaves me no where to go if someone makes a mistake.
He said he appreciated the honesty and asked me to slow down. Shock my hand and I left.

Yeah, honestly I've been pulled over 3 times in my life, only once with the suby, but they have all been CHP. I find that local sheriff's, SRPD, and RP leo's don't even give me a second look, if they even look at me/my car (knock on wood).

In fact, an on duty Rohnert Park leo pulled up next to me at a red light, and told me to roll my window down. I did, expecting to hear pull over or something, but he asked me where I got my car, that he likes what i've done with it, and he was looking for an older body style 02/03 like mine. He said he has an 08 and loves subaru. Then the light turned green. Should have gotten his name so I know to go for him for any fix it's I might get in the future haha.

That is good news! I've heard the worse stories of RP police since they have to deal with SSU and many of them hate their job because of it.

For the guys who keep getting rolled...file a complaint. The officer should not make those type of statements to you and he has no business pulling you over if you are legal. Modified exhaust is not illegal and if you are legit, I would make that statement to the officer. And if he asks you to search your car tell him no!!! He can not do so unless you say OK or he has probable cause. If enough people file complaints and its the same officer the department will make adjustments...just my two cents...then again I would be willing to spend the night in jail rather than have some power trippin pig infringe and even offer an opinion on what I do with my car or life.

I would of but I was on my lunch break once and I don't have/trust anyone to get my car for me. That and I just don't want to give them any lip since I really don't want to go to state ref for no reason.

I am pretty sure I saw you yesterday. The car looks amazing in person with those wheels and the spoiler. Even better than it looked in the pictures. Saw you go by on Santa Rosa Ave/Mendocino Ave past 7th St. downtown around 3:30-4pm I think. Right before Wednesday night market started. Sounded nice too. Lucky bastard with your AZ license plates. You could run a GT40R turbo with a 4" turboback with no cats and laugh at the cop because you're only "visiting" CA lol. You coming to eat mexican food at SR Taqueria this Sat around 6:30? You should so we can get a closer look at the ride.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the wrb GC8 I saw getting on to Hwy 12 west from farmers lane while I was exiting. Beyond that, I finally got unlazy and reset my password so maybe i'll post my sitings in SR again.

Cheers

Hell yeah, I didn't know about the meet but I'd love to meet up with some folks on Saturday. You're talking about the Taqueria across from Big Lots, right?

And that's actually a brilliant idea. Since I was only planning to stay for a year before moving back, I think I'll just register the car in Arizona (was planning on reg'ing in California as soon as the title arrives) and keep my plates. I'm looking for work in Santa Rosa anyway, the freeway trip to and from Larkspur every day scares me every time I see the black and white on the side of the road

And I actually don't recall seeing you, were you not in a Subie at the time?
