Sometimes, proof is what you need. None of this "I can bust you without proof" B.S.
He needs a few b*tchslaps to his head.
Wow, I'm sure anyone would be enraged if they were accused as you were.

look- if a neighbor or anyone.... sees us..... they interpret our driving differently than we do. we may not speed, but sometimes we can take a corner w/out braking(thats just an example). if they make a complaint(call to HPD)- the cop by right will "investigate" the situation. if you fit that "description" then (whether they ticket you or not) they will LOG your vehicle info for "future reference".
lets say in 2 months you get "caught again"- but by another cop. and you say "Officer, I have never been up here..." then he looks in his comp and it shows your info, date, type of "stop" etc. gives them ammo if they ever need it.
if i ever go up there in the day (where most people are on there) i drive like GRANDMA (as much as possible) because i know that the public already has a "different" perception of our cars and how fast we drive them.
as far as HPD being strict up there- thats something thats old news to me.
and whenever i do go there i'm already under the idea that i'm a target because of what i drive. nonetheless i respect what the cops are doing. (most of 'em)
end of essay

maybe all the grandma's chase the "racer/drifter" type off the hill so they can unleash their dodge caravans!!! Nah nah.........speaking from the standpoint of a P.O. we all know that people like to take their cars up their to drift, race, etc.....and that's not what the hill is for. They made a track at campbell industrial park for a reason, and that is to keep people from doing it on the street. I'm sure if some of you lived up there and had to listen to cars screeching around night after night you would want something done about it too. You basically have to look at it from the homeowners point of view. It's very easy for someone to lose it going around a turn and end up in someone's living room. Ok I pau!!!

hey i feel you... the black mamabas and I jk ... were just grandma driving too, but our exhaust is loud so people that live up there think were racing and call cops. since i was in the back the cop pulled me over and never wrote me a ticket cause he had no proof of me racing or anything and let me go.

It would solve a lot of problems if the rich folk that own houses up there got that road labelled as a "Private Road". Then the PoPos (lol JK DTG and Hoppie!) could bust all the racer punks just for being there.
Dunno if that's for real but hell it's early for me here and I came up with it in a half asleep stupor :banana:

I like to drive up there but I don't do crazy speed either. Hawaii needs a waaaaay better track to fulfill my need. Driving straight line is not my idea of fun driving. Auto-x is a good alternative but man it's just different. Not saying I do crazy *ish up there but Tantalus IS a FUN place to drive. Watching too much Initial D? Dude, I stop following after Stage 1. That's the reason why I bought an WRX, and what our car is made to do, cornering.
It is a bunch of horsesh!t, those f**kers living up there drives just as fast. I've seen a fat white woman in a Previa tailing my a$$ real close one time. No one gave her hell.
Now that guy is going to have beef w/ all Scoobies... Oh well.
