    It's your Cherry Bomb. It's like catnip for cops. They can't resist it and will hassle you endlessly. Put a quiet exhaust on and you'll have a lot less trouble.

    Also, do us old farts a favor and try to use correct grammar and punctuation. It will help us a lot.

    In CA it is illegal to have less than 80% visible light transmission on the windshield and front windows unless you have a doctor's prescription for it due to medical necessity. If you have bith the driver's side and passenger's side mirrors, the windows behind the driver can be 0% VLT as long as rhe side view mirrors can let the driver see 200 feet behind tthe car. It is in the California Vehicle Code.

    sorry about that I just talked in a supposed to put everything in I'll try harder and better next time.yeah my car is not really that loud you can really hear it on the freeway my husband was that hit the house and I took off and he couldn't hear it. the cop pulled my sister-in-law over in the car today and told her that she needs to get the August sticker for it because it's faded it has the original blue and yellow plates.so now I just rolled down the driver side and passenger side window and open my sunroof

    That's what most people here do when they get pulled over.
