Just thought id post it here.

I got pulled over by one of those white CHP cars without the lights on top for speeding (going 80, 5 miles faster than everyone else) and having a loud exhaust (HKS Hi Power Cat Back). I saw the CHP comming up behind me and by then i was going 75 like everybody else but he had already made his mind up to pull me over. I pulled off the freeway (5south, State College exit) and the first thing he said was that my exhaust was too loud and if i race. I told him i dont of course. He said he'd have to check under my hood for modifications and told me to open my hood and get out of the car, which i did.
I have a blacktop SR with front mount intercooler pipings and he said that he'd have to give me a state ref ticket for having modifications. He asked me if i knew what that was, then without letting me asnwer told me with mods like that (using his flashlight as a pointer to my engine) i should know or have heard about it. He told me to go sit in my car and after a good 20 minutes he came back and asked me to step out of the car again. He had me go stand by his hood and had me sign my ticket and asked me if i understood why i was getting a ticket and if i had any questions. i told him i didnt and he told me he would allow me only to drive back home and not let me go on my way because of my modifications until i see the state ref. That was it.
My friend got one last month and we found out that the State Refs were closed due to Arnolds budget cuts with DMV and all. So we asked around and heard people were allowed to pay a fine at court after pleading guilty and being done with it. My friends going to court Wed. for it so ill know more then.
