I just got outta work, and needed to go down Rt 206 in Netcong/Mt Olive for something when a cop pulls me over. It happened to be right in front of the State Trooper barracks, but luckily it was a township cop that pulled me over, and you'll find out why. So the cop walks up to my driver door, but stops for like a quick second before reaching the window and asks me for my license, registration and insurance etc etc. Before he walks back to his car, he asks "So, does this car have catalyst or do I have to get my knees dirty?" And I was outright honest and said "No Sir, I just had this pipe put on, and was recently told about the fine I can get if I'm caught without them" , just cuz I didnt wanna get on his bad side. He nodded, and walked back to my car... Im saying "****" and "****" while Im waiting. 5 minutes passed by and he is JUST about to hand me a ticket (I dunno what for), he was also about to say something when he looked at my workshirt and said "You work for Roxbury Township?" I said "Yes'r" ... and he put the ticket in his pocket and said "Word of advice, if I see this car driving around without catalysts again, I'm calling for a tow". I had such a HUGE sigh of relief and I promised to do something about it. He then gave me a verbal warning for loud exhaust.

PHEW. So I guess my search for new rims has come to a sudden halt momentarily, I guess Im gonna be looking into a catted y from TSP. Im guessing the reason he stopped before he asked me for my paperwork was to sniff the car out... cuz my car is running VERY lean.

Moral of this story: Good thing I work for the town. Ive gotten outta lots of points and buttload of tickets. I now keep a folded up workshirt with the embroidery facing up in my backseat.
