Met a guy who was an rear end in a top hat when I was in high school with him. Turns out he is now an overweight cop for a small suburb in Dallas and he informed me he loves to pull over minorities just to gently caress with them, so this all checks out.

If you hadn't said he was overweight I'd think you were talking about my brother.

Walked by this car at work a bunch of times before finally taking a closer look and seeing it was the real deal. Pretty sad, I'm just going to assume it's a salvage title.

It's not completely useless at least, the toolbox seems to be about as big as a miata's trunk, so you can carry a suitcase or some groceries.

They're not valuable cars any more and the honda scene isnt what it was in the late 90's/early 2000's. You can buy them with clean titles for 5-6k now.

Type Rs? Looks like they're all still 5 figures unless they're salvage title, even then closer to $8k.

Rear traction doesn't matter unless the wheels are driven, true. This is also why 4wd vehicles stop better in the snow.

if he approaches the bike from the other side it's entirely possible he hasn't seen it

consider duct taping a "check your wheel, don't ride unless suicidal" sign to the bike made with the biggest sharpie pen you can find

I'm amazed he didn't immediately crash when that broke. Seems like the sort of catastrophic failure that would result in a wheel leaving the swing arm with haste.

BIG KOOL TELLIN' Y'ALL TO KEEP IT TIGHT

bigbillystyle posted:

So you drew the short straw. Should the cop ignore you with the dead tail light and pull over the car tailgating so that guy can complain about people with broken tail lights driving around while he gets hosed with for following too close?

I get that cops profile lovely cars, or cars with tinted windows, or MODZ but if you actually have something wrong with your car you can't really complain that much. I have been pulled over many times where I grew up for a "lane violation" because I was a young kid driving a crappy car at night which to a cop basically means I'm up to something. Many times I've gotten satisfaction from the disgruntled cops face because I had nothing wrong with my car and wasn't actually doing anything wrong. If you've got a light out or are speeding or whatever and you know you drive a car that is going to get profiled I don't see how you can complain like that.

No doubt - the point I'm making is that it's somehow OK for a police officer to run around in an unmarked car, with super dark tint, yet other people around that have the same dark tint routinely get pulled over. Same cops around here will drive recklessly and swerve in and out of traffic, without their lights on at all, or tailgate people without their lights on and get pissed when that person can't tell it's a cop and doesn't pull over.

Maybe the better way to explain it is - why the gently caress is a cop blatantly ignoring someone running a red light or tailgating, causing a possible legitimate accident? What about my burned out tall light bulb was so important that someone barreling through a stoplight is less important, considering he could've cited the guy for speeding and failure to yield instead of wasting 10 minutes on a fix-it ticket for something that's a non-issue? It's loving retarded logic.

It's the cult of authority. You have to do what the cop says because he says so, and gently caress you.

And don't ask impertinent questions like those unless you like be sodomized with a baton.

It kind of made sense in that twisted moron way until I got to the engine. Who the gently caress punches out and cams a 3.1? Like...why? If you're willing to accept that level of difficulty why not, at the very barest and least, get a 3.8?

Looks like a redneck build, tbh. Redneck builds don't have to make sense.

I doubt that's a genuine Type-R. 5-6k is a little optimistic, rattier ones are at least 9k, but that depends on the market.
