Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Hmmm I'm bored today. I know! I'll just dump some dirt into a running engine and watch what happens!

I think it's due to not all of the contact patch being in contact with the pavement. End of the month cops will ticket for anything  they can.

Ugh, what a bad person he is! How'd he get away with something so atrocious for so long? We're lucky the brave police officer finally apprehended him!

That Bora in question isnt too bad.

But I think it's a good thing that the cops are starting to that over in the states, as you don't have yearly inspections.

Even here, I've seen too many subframes dragging on ground.

Kinda like when cops give out tint tickets.

Some states do. I think Jersey may be one of the states. I also mentioned he's on air ride, not static

Yeah. It's kinda crazy. 

 

I think he has 5 degrees fully aired out, and maybe like 2 or so if that at driving level

 

Everyone is just telling him to redo his alignment and drive to the court fully aired up

My friend James had to remove his factory tint from his Cobalt SS due to a Michigan cop. Now that his car is registered in Indiana they can't ticket him for it.

Yeah, I've heard that some states do, not sure how thorough they are.

All this is of course speculation on my part, as I only know what I'm shown. But the US seems to host a variety of quite sketchy cars.

That's the shitty mayor for you. Taking away your right to do what you want with your vehicle so cops feel safer. Don't think it's the job of private citizens to make anyone feel safer. Side note not against cops just a very libertarian view that unless it infringes on other people's rights or harms them then they should leave me alone. Also I always roll down my windows for them if they stop me. Tint is only a problem in the inner city were thugs use it to commit crimes. Not so much in the suburbs.

 

Edit: I'm just going to get something from my eye doctor giving me permission to have titnt for a eye condition where bright light hurts your eyes/contrast of light and dark messed with you. One of the reasons why I loved my tint at night. Kept people's headlights out of my car and from glare from my mirrors.
