Does The Po Love Your Truck????
cuz they sure as heck can't get enough of mine.
With my wrap sheet, i doubt i'll be able to pay for insurance after this one. oh well, at least i can pay for the gas no matter how expensive it gets.
GO TOYOTA FUEL EFFICIENCY!

I got stopped one becuase of the "faded" rear tail lights (the red lenses faded to a light pink)...
After 15 min of questioning (I thinkthey were looking for someone else) they let me off with a warning.

Not a bit. Cops dont look twice at my 4runner, that's what I love about it. They probably just think it's another mom on the way to soccer practice
After years of driving a slammed, loud, flashy MR2, then a slightly less slammed, slightly less loud but far more flashy BMW...the 4runner is quite stealth. Never got pulled over in my Tacoma either.
I think it's more about the way you drive though... My buddy drives a beige station wagon and still has more tickets than anyone I know because he drives like an idiot.

well my PU is one of the only clean 90 body's in Duluth, MN.
Not to mention my mods, Brush gaurd, roof light bar, billet grill, BOLD toyota emblems, and fresh coat of MUD.
I donno, i don't think my name helps either. It ain't exactly john smith.

I would have laughed in the cops face if he said my exhaust was too loud.
Like any cop has any clue what 'LOUD' really is....LOL!
"Yes sir just stick your head into the window like that and listen to this cool 47 hz sine wave ill play for you..."
After he craps himself he'd realize my exhaust isnt so loud afterall....

Owned a 1st gen DSM through the '90s before the import craze really took off so the cops didn't really look at it and bother me just because but with a 150 ponies added and with FATF breaking the car started to get noticed.
My truck seems pretty invisible and I've only had one ticket in 4 years (plus only 190hp helps
) but in the Eclipse from '94-'01 I was pulled over 20+ times and got 14 speeding tickets (speeding only and all were on the highway) ,lost my license twice but I survived it all pretty well and I'm still with the same insurance company.
I miss some of the attention of a flashier vehicle and of course the power and racing at the strip but owning the Runner I stay out of trouble and spend a whole lot less money and I only open the hood of the Runner once a month to check the oil.

My 92' 4Runner loves the cops i got pulled once at like 9pm cuz i went over a speed "hump" at seriously 15mph the cop said i was trying to jump it. Went to court cuz he charged me with reckless endangerment which i mean its 9pm in a parking lot with no body in it and i was going the speed limit. The judge laughed in his face and said this is the biggest waste of time ive had all day and threw out the case. The cops are always looking at me because im only 1 of maybe 5 lifted 4Runners in the area (everyone else has "domestic") hehe another time i got pulled for going 60 in a 55 on the freeway but got a warning because the cop didn't have his radar on just wanted to harass me. Other than that I feel pretty stealth in the Runner.
