heh, expired tags... been there done that. Got busted in Saline, Michigan.
I guess the cops out here LOVE to find someone with expired tags.... the one who got me caught up to me at a red light, I was in the left turn lane, he was not, he stopped 15 feet short of the intersection, just so he could get a good LONG look at the rear of my car while waiting for the light to turn green.
I think he thought it was taunting him. had I not known better, I would have thought that someone had put a "F$ck the Pigs" Bumper sticker on my car while I was at work.
Light turns green, I turn left, cop goes through the intersection (just to be legal, I'm sure) then guns it and pulls a 180, lights come on, and he chases me down. all 20 feet from the intersection, cause that's all the further I got before turning into the DQ on the corner... but I'm sure that cop thought I was just making a clever ruse, as he laid down rubber in an attemt to make sure I did not evade his watchful eyes.
same situation, I knew I was busted, I'd already been looking for a place to pull over before the lights were on. for the record, after reading Tarryk's story, I'm thiking it's the car. Michigan cops seem to innately dislike anyone driving a Grand AM GT.
I'll have to try the Gold Bond, menthol tingles make me feel... umm.... tingly.
