i believe it. You drive a old car in irvine you'll probably get stopped by the cops. Then he will call for 3 back up units. Then your gonna be sitting on the side of the road on jeffery or culver while they search your car. I use to see it all the time, with people driving old hondas before 2002.

You should be ok with w203's and newer cars. Irvine cops seem to think if you drive a older car, your either a drug dealer or you got lost on your way to santa ana.

eh yes and no. You can let them do it and then be on your way after a few mins or sit there for 3hrs while they get a warrant on the side of the curve hand cuffed and people staring at you and probably posting fb pics of you on the side of the road.

I don't carry anything illegal in my car anyways. Doesn't happen in the c32 but use to happen a lot when i had the civic. Cops think a 90whp car can race...

Thanks guys.

Rear SAM died, resulting in no signal to the fuel pump.
Serge (714) 898-0204 is replacing that and its pogo lock actuator. A straight shooter.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Ouch. Don't want to think about the cost. Its a complete component failure like this that makes things a bit iffy on owning the car. Did it happen because you jumped the car? Battery change?

Surprisingly, nothing of the sort.

A frayed wire was discovered within the SAM’s wiring loom.
They replaced the SAM and its adjacent wires, repaired the faulty lock mechanism, and solved a BAS malfunction for less than $1000.

All told, not too bad this time 'round. Knock wood.
