I'm going to start checking out streetwisedrift.com in charlotte and autox events at Clemson. Along with anything else that I can find in the area. Hit me up sometime and we'll meet up. Especially now that I have the cage and can participate, I'm planning on getting my money's worth by doing as many events as I can.

I'm in Charlotte during the week some because one of our datacenters is there. Our NOC is in Greenville & I travel for work some too. Weekends, I'm home with the baby in Boiling Springs unless travelling to an event.

 

anyone want to go to freaky friday tomorrow in fayetteville? thinking about making a few runs....

 

Any of you raleigh guys go to the hooka bar called Oasis? I always see some z and G out there

 

any one selling or know someone selling Motordyne exhaust?

 

^Not to my knowledge...

Anyone in here heading out to Zdayz from J-Ville area?

 

I wish I could go to ZDayZ, but its pretty much gonna have to wait til next time.

 

I've been trying to come up with an idea of something fun to do for ZDayz, and tonight I had some fun playing around with some painters tape and a pool noodle.

Those that have driven through South Carolina and have seen one of our State Trooper cars should see the joke in this.

Anyways, flame away... again, it's not permanent and not something that I think "looks good", just all in fun. First pic is an actual SC Trooper car.

 

^^LOL

 

hehehe... I'm just wondering what the boys in blue are going to have to say about it. I think that it will at least be worth a few laughs around here as long as no police want to act like jerks about it.

Oh yeah, the blue noodle on the cage was completely for giggles. The blue lines on the body are actually something I'm thinking about doing in vinyl for a month or so on the car - mainly for ZDayz and another event/meet or two in the area.

 

Let me know if you get pulled over for impersonating an officer

 

Not illegal in SC. It would be illegal if I had:
- any blue lights
- any red lights
- strobes (except for white/amber in front, amber/red in back & only for a hazardous condition)
- altered headlights
- altered taillights
- any use of the word "Police" or "Ambulance"
- any use of enforcement/government seals
- blue reflective

It is not illegal to have any particular stripe design.

Several friends are officers and I will check with both local and state departments once my design is complete for their input. However, I have gone through the whole SC vehicle code & I'm making sure that I'm not crossing any lines. Even if I were to get pulled by an aggressive officer, I'll let him ticket me and handle it with the court. Arguing with the officer never does you any good, he doesn't interpret the law, he just enforces it as he understands it.

 

I'm hoping that with the final design that they would actually have a sense of humor about it, but you never know.

Luckily, it's all going to be vinyl, so if someone does ticket me, I should be able to get the judge to knock it down to a "fix it" ticket once I can demonstrate that what I've done is not illegal per the wording of the current law.

 

I'm sure you can. I also think most if not all cops will just laugh at it. If they do pull you over it would probably be to ask what you were thinking and tell you it's funny.

 

Yeah, and I don't mind that it's "rolling probable cause" because I don't ever have anything in the car that I'd be afraid of a cop finding. We'll see how it goes. One way or the other, I think that I'll end up with some stories out of doing it. I can't see leaving it permanent, but for a little while might be fun.

 

Looks fun, I'd get crazy with that roll cage...
Fly a kite off it
Give it a double Mohawk
Strap some flags to it
Dress up a stuffed monkey with a cop hat and let it hang off the monkey bars
Give it bunny ears
Wrap it in tin foil and call it southern chrome
Possibilities are endless

 

Those are some great ideas. I will be stealing several of them.

 

anyone know of an alignment shop near fayettville that can get lowered cars on their lifts? I guess the three shops I went to today are only capable of handling jacked up 4WD's and Cadillac's on 30" rims..... My car doesn't even sit that low.... Just saying, I raised it 1.5" compared to the pics I posted on page 3....

Sparklecity, show us a full shot of your car. Teasing me with a 1/2 shot of the front bumper with fog lights....

 

If you can't find a non-dealer to go to, any Nissan dealer with GT-R ramps should be able to get you up there. If not, Chevy dealer with Corvette ramps.
