Drag Car Impounded
Like the title says. Most of you who know me.... know about my tube chassis mustang drag car....
Well i pulled it outta storage to make a in car video of a run I promised a certain member in here (damn you beau ) Well i pulled it outta the shop after being stored for a few months..... when i started it.... it sounded like it had a small tick almost like our lsx tick that most of us had heard.... so i figured a sticky lifter.... so i went ahead and decided to fix it with a high rpm pass outside the shop.
welll the local police thought that to be a bad idea. I got popped just hitting 4th which means i was well in excess of 100 mph. luckily the cop had just pulled up on a side street so he didnt get me for a exact speed.... just for multiple (i do mean multiple counts) it took him 7 seperate tickets to get me for every count. each ticket can hold only 4 or 5 violations written in
here are the ones i rememebr off the top of my head
- driving without insurance (its a racecar... no street insurance)
- no front license plate
- modified emissions system
- operating a off highway vehicle on public highway
- exhibition of speed
- enciting a speed contest (???)
- no displayed identification
- no functioning forward lamps
- no functioning wipers
- no functioning tail/brake lamps
- no functioning marker lamps
- no functioning license plate lamp
- no rear license plate
- reckless endangerment
- disturbing the peace
- removal of catalyst device
- removal of exhause noise reduction device (no muffler i guess?)
i know theres about 30 or so violations.....
now the car is impounded and the confiscated the in car video, and my camera...

I talked to teh guy at the impound he said they dont want my damn car and i may be able to get it in a week... but ill still have to pay the 30 day storage....
still just worried what will happen to it in taht time...
I cant even imagine what that tickets gonna cost...
I already talked to an attourney... itll cost $15,000 - $25,000 but he should be able to get all of it thrown out
