..::Valco Meet Oct. 11, 2008::..

[NSR AJ]

I was really excited for this meet since I got some new camera equipment. I just purchased a Nikon D80 with a 50mm F1.8 and I finally got another MV lip. Decided to go with the larger GTR lip this time since I got 19s. So we drove down to cupertino and we went to three different garages to find the meet. We finally hit the jack pot on the last garage and found the meet. Just as we entered the garage there is a Sheriff posting in the garage. Nocturnal and I made our way up to the second floor and just as we entered the meet the Sheriff pulled both of us over and gave us fix-it tickets. What's worse is he pulled us over in the heart of the meet. Pretty embarassing:(. SLVR was smart and waited on the first floor. Sean Dub right after us and received some tickets. We left after and just took pics. I still need practice with the new lens, so be easy. Enjoy, I know i didnt lol...

shiet... We left after we got ours. It's like we drove from Fremont to Cupertino to get tickets and left... FTL.

[Impulsed7]

The reason i dont live in CA.

cause in any normal state you can get away with modding your car. (to an extent, and having an inspection liscense helps.)

nice cars btw, sorry bout the tix.

sounds like the cops motto down here in VA. to serve and collect...

[E36Guy]

I can not get over how perfect SLVRs car is sittin on those wheels.. :drool:

Awesome lookin cars everyone. :thumbup: That camera rocks too.. pictures are super crisp.

[bmdubbayoo]

[NegativeCamber]

nice pics, but tickets! were they really being pricks or were u guys messing around and kind of asked for it? if not thats bs. f that.

[SeanDub]

I pulled in and parked, got a ticket.

[mtpktz.]

Why are your corners painted?

Other than that, looks good.

[NOCTURNAL]

I pulled in and parked, got a ticket.

I went up, once I got to the top I started to reverse (to park) and next thing I know cop is behind me....

We drove as slow as possible. It sucks man. It truly sucks.


I pulled in and parked, got a ticket.

haha same here bro.


Why are your corners painted?

Other than that, looks good.

For looks i guess.

[NSR AJ]

nice pics.....Im shooting a D80 also.....

btw, those are some f'd up cops

Oh yea that's right. I lurk the photography forum as well. I saw the test you did with the higher number F-stops. That helped me a lot since I have the 50mm f1.8.


He didn't even let you finish parking?

nope not even.


damn, when did your bro got LMs?

:devillook

[driftinbmw]

wait, so why was everyone getting tickets?? trespassing?

[The Ripe Punani]

Because some cops are dicks and they like camping around places just to fill their quotas.

[midduke]

yeh but what are the tickets for?

[cr2596]

Just got a D70 and 50mm 1.8D. The next few weeks are going to be fun.

[NOCTURNAL]

yeh but what are the tickets for?

modified exhaust, no front plates... weak shit!

[xplosiveg06]

yeh but what are the tickets for?


+1, guess the cops didnt like the painted corners on that grey one :shifty

[OMGITSKEVIN]

SLVRs car has come along way, need to see that car in person again.

[RJ 325is]

Nice pics AJ. Too bad you guys couldn't stay longer. We ended up going to Outback and got discounts on steaks cause they ran outta prime rib :shifty


I went up, once I got to the top I started to reverse (to park) and next thing I know cop is behind me....

[alineo55]

[NOCTURNAL]

-modified exhaust
-painted corner lenses
-no front license plate.

[SeanDub]

Nice Pics.Sucks about the cops though.So do you all run without front plates all the time?

front plates suck, so yes.

Some people run em, most do not

[Hmonz]

I don't understand something... Why did you get tickets from cops? I'm not from USA and surprised to see you getting tickets for a parking meeting

Becuase cops in the US are douche bags and will use any excuse they can to ticket you if you have a nice or modded car

[Casual]

I don't understand something... Why did you get tickets from cops? I'm not from USA and surprised to see you getting tickets for a parking meeting

Yeah, it's a shame that a bunch of law abiding car enthusiasts can't get together for a civilized meet because they're targeted by cops who should be looking for criminals or other riff-raff.:mad

[NOCTURNAL]

those corners look sick painted silver

Thanks man!


Nice Pics.Sucks about the cops though.So do you all run without front plates all the time?

We all do! I'm working on finding someone that can sign off my ticket for me.

[Naw T 3]

I just got busted in dublin for my Lexus. Modified exhaust/tint/no front plate. To top it off. The modified exhaust is a "fix it" ticket with a $131 fine

[SeanDub]

You work at Toyota huh.

[NegativeCamber]

so is it the modified exhaust ticket for noise pollution? are you guys over the legal limit?

edit: how can they ticket you for a certain db over the limit when there is no instrument to test it?

[Bene36m3]

Wow, cali cops suck.
Great pics though.

[NOCTURNAL]

haha thanks!

edit: how can they ticket you for a certain db over the limit when there is no instrument to test it?

nope. I don't even think my car is that loud. Some stock cars are louder than mine.

Fuck. Sucks that it's a $131 fine. weak....

[polo12345]

nice 50mm f1.8 prime lens?

I'm gonna be buying the same thing really soon since it takes really sharp pics. For the price you just can't beat it!

[NSR AJ]

yup thats the lens! best bang for the buck!

[BL Dozier]

law enforcment looks to be directiong traffic did you guys stumble onto an offense.

[dos Santos]

so is it the modified exhaust ticket for noise pollution? are you guys over the legal limit?

edit: how can they ticket you for a certain db over the limit when there is no instrument to test it?

The California Statute dictates that they can ticket you for ANY aftermarket exhaust.

[SeanDub]

law enforcment looks to be directiong traffic did you guys stumble onto an offense.

What the hell are you talkin about? Maybe try reading the thread. Maybe.



Directing traffic in a parkin garage... wtf...:confused

[ruend]

lookn good

[Mscire2]

some nice cars there, sucks about the tickets tho

[95M3theo]

The California Statute dictates that they can ticket you for ANY aftermarket exhaust.
So if you dont have the stock exhaust they can ticket you? Thats some real BS.

[SeanDub]

So if you dont have the stock exhaust they can ticket you? Thats some real BS.

Thats Cali.

[tEckniks]

washin the ride...
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h37/collectasole/Untitled-1-8.jpg


painted corners... hmm never seen that before. iffy but works some how

[EURO M3 CSL]

Thats Cali.

if thats the case they should ban all aftermarket exhaust imported into cali then since its illegal. if not tell them to station themselves infront of muffler shops.

on the license plate note, they should have predrilled holes for every car that comes into cali including Ferrari, Lambo, Lotus, etc..

haha it would be funny to see a ferrari or a lambo with a front plate..

they won't be bustin a ferrari or lambo for a front license plate because they'll be busting for doing +100mph. haha. If they can catch em'.

[QuickSilv3r]

Damn, I haven't seen SLV3R's ride posted in a while...I'm blown away! The wheels, the drop, it's perfect, it definately has come a long way!

[CrzE30]

Dam cops, it's the best way to ruin a good meet, happened to me not to long ago.:mad
