Got pulled over! Officer said “didn’t think this could go 54mph”… my response “uh, thanks?” Got off with a warning, but never thought that day would come. Hahah 🤷

He’s got the helmet on that Murphy wore in RoboCop….before he was RoboCop.
 
This is the one I ordered:


Honestly, the reviews were all over the map on the 20 different ones you can buy, and I guess it’s hit or miss if you get a good one or not. So far mine is a huge improvement for reliable starting and it runs and idles great after some fiddling with the idle air mixture screw. There is some great YouTube videos from Otramm on how to get this right. Also, mine needs a spacer for my air cleaner to fit properly.

Maybe if this new one doesn’t last long I may go that route, but right now it’s running great.

Well, some might say I already have a fleet of Land Cruisers here in Hawaii…does 5 make a fleet?

I had the opposite

25? years ago I got pulled over when I was coming back from Maine...cruising up the hill just before mass I got pulled over....

(Officer) "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

(Me) "Honestly I have no idea"

(Officer) "You were going 45 MPH"

(Me) ¨OK... and that's wrong why?¨

(Officer) "Everybody is going 65-70 MPH in a 55" (this was quite a few years ago it's 65 there now
Lol

(Me) :meh:

(Officer) "Have you been drinking?"

(Me) "No not at all"

(Officer) "Smoking weed?"

(Me) "No not at all"

(Officer) "Please step out of the truck"

(Me) Ohhh Kayyyy

I get out where he then gives me the sobriety test... arms out walk line, all of it ... pass with flying colors

Has a fellow trooper come with the sniffer...pass that as well...Trooper friend waits with me.

Original Trooper then searches the inside of my truck...asked to look in my ammo boxes after I assure him he wouldn’t find anything (at least he asked LOL)

After the hour I've been waiting he comes over and says "Your free to go"
(me) Thanks :meh:


It didn't help to look like a long haired hippy freak i guess

This same thing happened to me in college once. at the time I was driving my 1998 reg cab 4x4 tacoma that had a fiber glass shell on the bed. since I had the shell on I almost always backed into parking spots because it was easier to see cars coming if I was not backing out of the spot. Story starts with going to the gocery store after class. I lived about 30 min from campus. I backed into a spot next to a police car. I did not think about it much. went into the store and bought some dinner stuff to make Pulled away and honestly was driving home to study for an exam. next thing I notice are blue lights at the intersection so I stop. The give me the same run down but It gets crazier... The officer writes me a citation for an expired tag... it was august and my tag expired in january! I tried to explain that to him and he was not having any of that. IT WAS INFO ON THE REGISTRATION!!! I asked If I could speek to sombody else and another cop showed up. and he agreed with me and ripped up the citation.

the whole thing was crazy and I litterally did nothing wrong. and the whole thing took an HOUR AND A HALF. I passed my Bio final though.

I should have also mention that I totally looked like a surf stoner guy. Long hair surfed a bunch. but honestly didn't do drugs. at the time I was attending Jacksonville university in Florida and I was living in atlantic beach. I lived closer to the beach there than I do living here on a 16 mile island haha.
