Internet politics? Are you running for governor? You said we could call you a dumbass for simulating a police officer, so I did, because that is a dumbass thing to do.

I don't get the "politics" you refer to, but if you are implying that we should help you do things even if we don't agree with the safety and intelligence of doing so, then you've come to the wrong place.

This is all like saying that everyone here always obeys their speed limits and only "races" their cars on the track. Right. Thanks anyway.

Sure, because breaking the speed limit and impersonating a police officer are the same thing. Why don't you check those infractions and let me know what you find. I'm finding myself more and more inclined to agree with the Civic comment from earlier. Let's be honest here: the mentality you are protraying simply doesn't fit with that of most of the folks on this board - sorry if this offends you.

Best of luck with your modifications - if I see an M5 with flashing lights in my mirror I'll be sure to hammer the brakes for you. I'm guessing I won't be the only one that has that reaction.

I'm not sure you would be in trouble for impersonating a police officer but I just did a google and found out that strobe lights are illegal on any public road.

Strobe Lights for Car or Truck
