He was giving you a hard time because you look like a punk.

Sounds like a pretty much BS stop to me. Probably was bored and just picked on you for driving a modified car. You have to understand that most people don't understand what most of us do about cars and the groups of people who mod them. Things are more stereotypical when you are under-educated about certain topics.

Anyone on Google+ ? Thoughts on the potential for it?

I'm on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and have tried every other social service that surfaced. Only the first two have stuck and I actually spend more time on this site than I do on the rest. The only benefit I can see from Google+ is that it creates competition for Facebook and will force more innovation toward the benefit of the user. I like that by default what I share is established in separate circles (AKA private rooms) rather than by default it's shared with the world.

circles.

I haven't really tried any social networking sites other than facebook so I don't have much to go on when comparing... but I think the big thing is the circles and the things you can do with them.

the 18 inch rule sounds stupid and extremely useless. Anyone think otherwise?

posted on a local forum in their as a cop section.

Vehicle height is not determined by ground clearance, as stated before. However, headlights are used as a determining factor as well as damage caused to the roadway by vehicles that are too low.

316.22(2) - HEIGHT - Every headlamp upon every motor vehicle shall be located at a height of not more than 54 inches nor less than 24 inches to be measured as set forth in s. 316.217.

316.217(3) - MEASURING – Whenever requirement is hereinafter declared as to the mounted height of lamps or devices, it shall mean from the center of such lamp or device to the level ground upon which the vehicle stands when the vehicle is without a load.

316.2035 Injurious substances prohibited; dragging vehicle or load; obstructing, digging, etc.--

(2) It is unlawful to allow any vehicle or contrivance or any part of same, or any load or portion of a load carried on the same, to drag upon any street or highway.

Cop who answered doesnt understand where he gets 18 from. :lol:

I support reasonable rules to protect me and other innocent drivers who are sharing the road with toolbags in slammed hondas bouncing down the freeway.

And the rule about headlights has been around for a long time. The old wives tale is that it was the reason behind pop-up headlights being invented.

Rob I get that almost once a month. I guess my car kinda does look like a drug running car...then again if I was going to run drugs id pick something way more inconspicuous

The 2004-10 Hyndai Sonata. or as i like to call it, The Blandest car on the road!

I see google+ being good because it doesn't have all the crap (mafia wars/farmville/ every other time waster crap) on it.

Of course i only have 1 friend on G= right now, so i guess we will see what happens as my network expands.
