Popped the hood, tried to give me a modified engine ticket for a zip tie that was helping hold the fan shroud in place and a loose air intake box.
the I was told that me and people like me are street racers and responsable for all kinds of innocent deaths in the united states.

They didnt want to hear how I help host events at a track everymonth for over 2 years and try and get people off the streets and into a safe environment.


you see why we avoid the fucking CHP at all cost.

Sweet jeezus, fuck that. Florida cops are nothing like that.

That's not true. I know a shop owner who got his S14 Kouki SR impounded after he swapped the dash because the VIN matched a salvage titled car so they thought it was stolen.

so far in my experiences florida cops don't care. i've never had one of them even look at the vin # on my dash.

that being said, i "may have" swapped the vin from my old green dash when I converted my interior to black. i don't see how anyone would ever be able to tell the difference... it's riveted just like the factory ones. no big deal.
