Eventfull week for the turbo last week

So we are on the way to Wrightsville Beach Last week on 74 in NC.
V-1 on......cruising around 90mph...... I pass a black Tahoe with no markings.

**Blue Lights**

He pulls me over. V1 never went off..not a peep.

"Do you knwo how fast you were going?"

"No sir i dont"

"you really dont knwo how fast you were going?"

"no sir"

"Step back here with me please"
So i get in his Tahoe front seat

" Im going to give you a verbal warning. I cant tell you how fast you were going but (points to radar reading of 90.2) But please pay attention. Im on my way to an accident, so have a safe trip"

"Thanks Ill watch it"
-----

Ok So We get home a few days later and go for Brunch Sunday Morning. I park WAY out of the way. We come back out and there is a Minivan parked about 12 inches away in an empty f'in parking lot. To top it off. The ladys bratty *** kid is dripping ice cream down the side if my car...WTF? No ****.. Chocolate syrup running down the side of the car on the rear passanger flare.

Wont go into what i said.

---

Yesterday (laborday) we decide to go uptown for lunch. I get about a mile out of the house..
**Blue Lights**

****, again!

$170 ticket for illegal tint.

--

remind me again why i drive a Bright f'in yellow turbo?

Sorry to hear that. Is your V-1 upgraded to the latest update? Wonder what band or frequency he was using?

I just bought the V1 3 months ago. I calle dthem and they thought maybe he was using some sort of timing setting instead of broadcasting.

Tough week. You'll be fine down here in SC.....the legal tint is 27% but everyone runs around with limo tint with no problems. As you already know, no state inspection!

BTW....where are you moving to?
