I almost got the e46 impounded this evening while I was following the break-in procedure for the new differential in the empty parking lot across the street from my neighborhood. I guess a black car driving around (NOT DRIFTING) in a figure eight for 30 minutes just seemed down-right illegal to several concerned citizens, who called me in to the police. Thankfully, the officer let me off with a severe warning, and allowed me to go park the car back in my garage… where it stays 99% of the time (the other 1% being when it goes on the trailer to be taken to the track).I was pretty upset that people felt like I was doing something wrong, and called the police about it. I mean… in the grand scheme of things, that car was on its best behavior compared to what it is normally doing. Ol’ girl is capable far worse things that would probably give those ‘concerned citizens’ seizures and heart-attacks. Driving between 5-10mph in a figure eight hardly fits the bill to be worthy of concern.

so the cop actually was going to try and give you a ticket??? for what is my question because i cant think anything against the law for driving in figure eights on an empty lot except maybe trespassing. if he had given you one then i would say he shall be brought to screams and desecrating of thy pant by ride-along with Andy Sapp at the location of road atlanta.
The car doesn’t have a tag on it because it won’t pass emissions, and I crossed a county road to get across the street to the parking lot.
well….. that might be a good reason to not drive it on the road but a complete stupid reason to be harassed about it on the lot.
