I decided to paint the doors black because I want to be able to drive the car without too much worry (in California, there's been heightened sensitivity recently because of the Geek Squad).

Good choice. I know you guys won't like to hear this but I love that ticket.

Is that you writing the ticket? I remember seeing that posted (I think on the CHP forum), and it was decided that the Mustang wasn't even an SSP, let alone a former CHP car. It appears to be a four eyed car by the side windows, but it has an aero nose.

It was not an SSP and you are correct, it should have been a normal 4-eyed Mustang. Not me in the pic, (I snapped the pic) I just responded to "assist"

That's pretty cool that you took the pic. So in a situation like that, is the offender only issued a ticket, or is the car impounded? How much is the ticket? I'm glad that rocketscience only painted his roof white, which should avoid any legal entanglements yet still honor the car's CHP heritage.

I think I remember the conversation went kinda like this...

now boy....what we have here is a failure to communicate. You see, those white doors right there are illegal here in the great State of California. Yeh I understand you think it's cool to be a cop, but see here now.....you gots to be one to drive one.

oh and by the way.....your court date is listed right here on the bottom of this citation........

We towed it if I remember right?? I think he was suspended anyway.

And Jim.... LOL

Suspended? LOL That sounds about right. The guy is suspended so he drives around in an illegal wanna be black and white. Funny stuff for sure.

I've made some progress.

Just as I stopped driving this evening to take a few photos, the sun dipped below the clouds. But it was a good opportunity to go lights-on:

nice car and reffering to the pic of the mustang getting a ticket is it ilegal to have a car painted like that even without the police markings
