Well got the pimptiva pulled over today for the first time.
At least the state trooper was nice. He didn't think I was wearing my seat belt, but said he couldn't see my harnesses I was wearing, he says they are probably not legal because they are not DOT stamped anywheres, but that I am probably safer wearing them than a regular belt. second thing is I didn't know it was illegal for my rear license plate to be incased, he says that because when they shine there flashlights on them they have to reflect the letters, so they can see them, and the glass will throw off a glare, but he said as long as I didn't mind getting pulled over all the time I shouldn't have a problem with either. I do have a regular manual seatbelt on the drivers side for such a reason, but its not completely attatched yet, so I have to fix that and wear it around town, that was the plan anyways.
So ya no ticket, and he failed to notice I don't have a third brake light :-) Simon shaved that off, even though its a federal regulation I think. Im workign on a custome one to be mounted inside on the roof support, instead of the stock location.
So that is my story... Oh and yesturday when i took a nap I left my funtop wide open, and it downpoored. Now my car smells horribly like stinky gym feet, and everythign in there got soaked. Can't dry out today because its raining again more here. damit...
