Ever had a cop compliment your car???

So last night, me and my girlfriend are coming home from the mall and a local cop pulled me over last night for "window tint"

The guy came up and asked me for the license and registration and all that crap. Then he goes,
"how dark are your tints? Cause they sure aren't within the legal limit... And how loud is your exhaust? It sounded like a freakin airplane coming by."

Meanwhile, I knew I wasn't doing anything seriously wrong, so I kinda joked with him and said, "c'mon, doesn't it sound good though? At least it doesn't sound like one of those trumpet exhausts on those gay little hondas!"

"Actually, I have a 1999 Maxima and I have to admit you did a good job with this..." he said. "...is the exhaust the only thing you have done to it?"

(now i'm cracking up inside my head but keep a straight face)

"Nah, lemme pop the hood and show you." I said.

So to make a long story short, he explained that he had the clear bumper lights on his but that's it. He was truly impressed by what I did to my car. I showed him the TS ECU, the CE red/clears, the rear sway bar, the intake, the UDP, and the TV's and system in the trunk. The funniest part is, he told me he was thinking about getting an intake, and asked me if the intake makes the car too loud at WOT. I said, "lemme revv it up for you and you can hear it!" I pulled the throttle cable under the hood and he jumped back a little bit because the noise startled him!!!
He noticed the maxima.org sticker on my window and said he might join up so i wrote down my .org name for him if he wanted to say hi. He wrote me no ticket and told me to have a good night.

Anything like this ever happened to anyone else?? Share stories!

not really a compliment, but, got pulled for speeding. when the cop asked why the speed, i informed him that i had just left the car wash and i was trying to dry my car off. he looked at me funny and i said, "spot free rinse?". at that point he busted out laughing saying it was the most rediculous thing he ever heard. we talked a bit about audio stuff and then he let me go. no ticket, but as he was walkin back to his pc, i heard him on his moto tellin another cop about my drying tactic.

Haha my dad got pulled over about 25 years ago doing 120 in his 73 AMC Gremlin and he told the cop that he was out of gas and was trying to coast to the next gas station on the NY Thruway. The cop laughed and since the low fuel light was on, the cop let him go w/ no ticket.

My dad (back in the day) had a 68 GTO and he did the normal drag race and such. The word got out to cops that he traveled a certain road on certain days at a certain speed lol. Anyway one day he was going down the road at aroun 130 or so, and the cop pulled him. When the cop go to his window he said "Son, you know how long i've been waiting for you?" my dads reply was "Well damn i got here as quick as i could." He said the cop laughed so hard that he got off with a warning.

Too bad cops aren't as forgiving as they once were.

Haha, that's how I dry my car after washing it at the self wash places. I always imagined getting pulled and having the same conversation.

i got pulled the other night for window tint also, but I informed the cop it wasnt fair to write me a ticket unless he was to clean my window first seeing as the dirt made it soooo much darker...he tryed wiping it off but it only smeared, so he said sorry for ****in up my window and we sat and talked about how he used to have fast cars back in the day then he let me go warning/ ticket free.

Awesome stories

Hard to picture sometimes that cops are people too and after busting us they go home, drink beers, watch ****...oops...TV and hang out with their mates as well.

Usually get let off tickets if I'm polite and straight up with them:

'Do you realise you were speeding back there?'

"Yeah, sorry about that officer...guess I wasn't concentrating on my speed"

'Well I'll let you off with a warning THIS time...'

waaaay back in the day my dad had a bright orange '74 super beetle and was racing a guy he knew from work who was in a firebird. Long story short, my dad drafted the 'bird, got right next to it, and his engine blew. A cop saw the whole thing, and my dad said he was laughing so hard when he got to his window, that the cop let him off.

Lol that's funny cause i actually tried drying my car like that. One time I took up from a stop sign and didnt see the cops there where like 50 feet from the stop sign and VROOOM i passed them, and they pulled me over. Said, "Turn the car OFF and put the ****in keys on top of the hood" I'm from a bad area and around that time there was allot of bull**** killings going around so there temper was ridiculous. He comes over telling me you were doing about 70 mphs when u passed us, and they was only like 50 feet from where i took off, that **** to me was a compliment. He was like and your exhaust is way too loud, I smirked and said nah thats a stock muffler its the cold air intake, his dumb *** was like "oh so your car is unsafe to drive, you know we can toe it for that" Anyway dey made me get out da car and searched me, but i got a good friend of the family that's a cop and dey let me go. I had no insurance or registeration on it neither

I go WOT in 2nd gear pretty frequently and one night subsequently I see an unmarked car behind me running my plate. Well, it was my neighborhood I was about to turn into and so he flashed his lights and I pulled over, of course.

Guy comes up and goes why were you in such a hurry and I was like I have no clue really, no excuse man. He looked at me for a second and said "be safe" or something like that, steps back looks at my car from front to back, nods his head and walks away.

NEVER did he ask for my license, insurance and/or vehicle registration. It was the weirdest thing ever and I don't think I'll ever be so lucky again.
