He cornered me in the parking lot of my grocery store and wanted to tell me that he loved the way my exhaust sounded when I downshifted to turn through a stop light! :biggrin: This might be the best experience I've ever had with a cop.
Stopped by a cop last night....

That's a great story. What exhaust are you running?

Comptech Exhaust.
He was pretty familiar with my car as I'm the only person in my town running a red nsx that's lowered and loud (guilty as charged for revving alot). Actually, when I was showing him the car and complaining about how expensive my rear S0-3's were and how fast they wore, he gave me some information on where I can score tires for cheap. I'll take him up on that once I get my new rims.

I got pulled over the second day I had the car. Cop said he wanted to inform me that the 55mph speed limit applies to the on-ramp too. Still had the temp tags and told him I just got the car the night before.... he let me off. :smile:
thats awesome lol :biggrin:
In the five years of owning my NSX I have been pulled over once and that was for expired registration ( one month late ) he was very nice and he let me go, i told him that i had just taken my car out of the bodyshop.
I had a B18 Turbo civic 3 years before I bought the NSX and used the civic as my daily driver for the first two years of owning my NSX. I was pulled over numerous times and given many tickets for the same things that you could give me a ticket had i been driving the NSX, such as modified exhaust, to loud, to low, window tint, etc etc... In any case I sold the civic when I got a (state referee smog only) and I couldnt find a "hook up".
Then I bought another civic and left it stock. What do ya know I havnt had a ticket since nor have I been pulled over =D
I live in Irvine CA by the way .... And thats really cool the way that officer treated you!!! And I never give an attitude to an officer if he gives me a ticket I just deal with it =D

Returning home from work one night, I was pulled over by Metro. Had my driver's license, registration, and insurance paper ready as he approach. He walked around my car a few times, took my paperworks, and took a few more laps. After looking at my papers, the first question that came out of his mouth was, "it this your son's car?" ....... 
Nervously I asked if I had done anything wrong. "No," he replied, "but I usually don't see people your age driving around a car like this." I told him that this is my daily driver and I'm going home from work. He asked me for my business card and we exchanged a few friendly words, mostly car talk. Finally he said, "I had seen your car many times and had always been wanting to check it out. I'm glad I did and really liked what I see."
That was over 4 yrs ago.

PS: NSX was black with full West Wing body kit, lowered with SSR Wheels, and loud RM Exhaust, etc.

Hey Rob, are you a police officer? If so, which city? I never did ask you what your job was when I saw you at the pavilions! :biggrin:orbusrex said:
Last month while driving home from work a cop pulled me over, after looking briefly at my papers, he said actually he had pulled me over for a look at the car. I said no problem, I wasn’t in a hurry (uhumpf) so he asked if I could take him for a ride! We did, his partner followed in their car. Or tried to follow, I took the opportunity to pass a few cars in a no-passing zone, and was doing a 120kph in a 70 zone.
I just had to see what he would do, he just smiled and mentioned the nice sound it makes.
Then they got a call, shook my hand and said thanks!
That’s only the second time in 15 years I have been pulled over, the first time was for going too slow on the freeway (here there is a minimum speed limit on freeways), I was pulling a trailer full of fragile stuff and the surface was really bad so I had slowed down for a while. I told him they should fix the surface, and didn’t get a ticket then either.
I moved here from the States years ago, it really is driving heaven here (Europe). It’s a very rare event to get pulled over by the police; I’ve only seen it happen about 5 times in 15 years (excluding my 2 times…). Even seeing a cop is a relatively rare experience.

During the Pavilions Concours at NSXPO, I won "Most Secure NSX" due to my "one gun per corner" strategy.

The police realized their suspect was a an older man rather than some kid. They were checking for drugs, and in doing so, followed me. My mother straightened it out, and told them I definitely was not a drug dealer, and that I am a good kid.
Wow. I knew the NSX could attract attention, but damn, I didn't realize it could get you into something like that.
By the way, the police thought my car was a Ferrari."

I am sorry folks, but now I have hijacked this thread, it really makes me angry and disgusted that we have to put up with this crap. For God's sake do we really have to translate what some idiot is trying to convey? Where in the world do these morons come from?
These people profess that they are college students! Well, I feel like moving back to Europe and short selling my US equities.
As some of you know, I taught business courses at night to undergraduate and graduate business students, in addition to my regular job. I always told my students that the most important item they could ever develop was the ability to communicate, both in a verbal and written format.
Sorry to vent, but this is a special board, and we are beyond that, including the vulgarity.

very refreshing to hear someone talk about a cop on here and not complain about the way they feel they were treated badly when they were pulled over.
Thanks for the great story.
