Well I think the entire state of Washington must have bought Volvo police cars, because my girlfriend was pulled over just yesterday by a white unmarked Volvo sedan somewhere between Ellensburg and Yakima. So it's not just your neck of the woods LOA, everyone in Washington state had better look out for the "granny cars"

You do NOT have to pull over for an unmarked police car ... well, you DO, but you can (and should) continue driving until you're in a well lighted area -- a gas station, or convenience store. If you're pulled over by an unmarked car and are suspicious of whether or not it is a real police car, make a signal that you recognize you are being pulled over (turn on a signal or something). Also, feel free to call 911 and request a marked unit.
I say this because there are assholes who are NOT POLICE driving around with a blue dashlight, pulling people over. There was a guy in PG County who pulled folks over in his BMW. You'll often find that the people doing this shit are volunteer firefighters.

Actually you can only do that in certain states. I know for a fact in Indiana it isn't allowed. I know because my cousin was pulled over in Indiana in May while I was with him, and he is from North Carolina, where it is indeed legal. When he pulled over he asked the cop if he was allowed to pull up to a gas station or whatever and the cop said that wasn't a law in Indiana.
So it must be a local thing Snay, although I dunno if a cop would really get on you for doing that when it's not legal.

The fact that you're still driving while he's trying to make you stop and pull over.

If he can see that you recognize that you're being pulled over and are only waiting for a well lit area to pull over in, he won't be harsh to you as a result.

Wow, this thread has become disturbingly local. What's next, long political threads about the threatened incorporation of West Valley? Discussions about the weekend news hottie on KAPP? Crazy.

A list of things I've already bought to begin fixing my car up. Mainly cosmetic stuff, no performance enhancements yet. Odds are I'll get sent to San Diego so I'll have more options for body kits and engine improvements there.
I'm also looking to get a few other special things, like 180SX windows and center tail piece. In Japan the 240 is called a 180, so I want my car to also say 180SX to help make it even more different from all other 240's around here.

The only thing I don't like is the NISMO badge. It's definatly the older official badge, but the more modern NISMO badges are much better in my opinion:

Older or not, I've seen the other emblems and prefer this on over the rest.
