The vehicle got owed for a fucking exhaust? Cain should practice what he preaches,and should have all his vehicles VI to see if they are road worthy.He should man the fuck up and prove to everyone he follows the laws to a T and the laws do apply to him too.

I'll say it again.....

Yeah it's from a while back, we both know the same officer. I just mentioned it as example of what car or driver "truly deserves it".

I know for a fact Cain is reading this thread! Isn't that right Derek.

My fellow carguys,just be careful what you post publically is all I am saying.

I don't think that's actually his account. He took down his previous one which was officer.cain and this one seems to be just some troll who made a spoof account.

SkunkWorks 11-17-2019 03:12 PM

^ If that's the case, it's really quite disappointing he chooses to hide behind his ticket book rather than open a dialogue with the enthusiast community to find an amicable solution for all.

I know odds are it was just an axleback, but I have heard cars that were so loud and sounded so shitty I pulled over just to get away from them.

when i was driving the other way didn't seem like they had a rader gun going at the time.

They were there in the morning before 9 am as well. 2 motorcycle cops and they were just standing around but they did stop a stock looking car. Can't remember what it was, maybe a Camry or something. I thought they were doing distracted driving crack down cause they were just standing around their motorcycles.

I don't even know if the car I saw was pulled over or just stopped, cause I saw her driving and then parking in front of the cops. I figured there was a spotter further back that told her to stop there, but as I kept going, I never saw any spotters so I was kinda baffled.

It was stupid too in that they were blocking the right lane during rush hour and it's not like they were hiding or anything.

'99 Prelude here with Notice and Order.
1. Aftermarket exhaust too loud (Skunk2). Installed silencer.
2. High beams not working. DRL module fixed.
3. Flashing brake lights . Bulbs switched back to 7443

I need help with the VI.
Stressing out bad here with no options.

What your stressing about? Ensure the car is up to snuff and get it inspected? Sounds like your on your way already.

I cant afford it.

I need to talk to someone about my situation.

westopher 11-18-2019 11:04 PM

I don't want to sound harsh here man, but what are you expecting for options?
You can
A) sell your car
B) wait til you have the money to pay for your VI

Taking any sort of legal action to get it dismissed will outweigh the VI costs by a large sum.

If you want to take my wild card option here, sell your exhaust to someone for a stock exhaust plus whatever a VI costs.

Surely you bought it like that right? Surely no person who can't afford to unmod their car would spend their sparse money just to make their 1999 honda loud for the sake of being loud, and an edgy flashing brake light.

Why not? Are you even a car person?

Not everyone is rich like you.


Kev, junk yard and put an exhuast on.

77civic1200 11-19-2019 05:25 AM

That's not even about being "rich", its a 20 year old honda, parts aren't expensive. Its about being smarter with your money, having enough savings for a rainy day. What if his alternator stopped working? or a fuel pump? the cost of the inspection isn't what will be keeping him off the road, poor planning will be

Badhobz 11-19-2019 05:33 AM

^expensive being the relative term here. To some a 100 dollar oil change is expensive, to others its nothing. If he thinks it's expensive and he can't afford, it then that's his reality and we shouldn't say otherwise.

Best bet would be to find some junkyard parts and do it yourself if you are keen on keeping the vehicle. If not, strip the "go fast" parts and sell the vehicle as-is.

News flash: $100 is cheap to some, expensive to others. Not everyone is in the position to "save for a rainy day". This comment is so amazingly out of touch with the realities of some people. All you're missing is "pull up your boot straps" at the end.

Kev, PM me. I will help you if you need someone to guide you to fix it cheap. If you're close, I'll help you. I worked on a bunch of cars over the summer for free, one more won't kill me.

you are the hero.

good karma for you.

nsx042003 11-19-2019 02:29 PM

this is the attitude that people give when someone want to come out and say something about their uncalled for VI... all 4 banger honda sound the same with a catback/axleback in terms of volume, i don't know what but sounds like cops pulled him over for having an exhaust..

fuck right off and help the guy, the fuck is wrong with people looking down just because he drives an older car

68style 11-19-2019 07:19 PM

You guys need to read better, he already fixed the problems he listed then above...

He’s not able to pay for the VI... why would he be able to buy a parts car if he can’t afford the VI?

underscore 11-19-2019 07:26 PM

Trade the axleback for a stock one + cash, sell the flashy lights, use the cash to pay for the inspection.
