Agghhh... I was just in a completely deserted parking lot doing cookies and some quick 1st and 2nd gear runs. There was a guy with a sweet RX7 who had come, but was just hanging out because of a cooling issue. Towards the end, a few local cars showed up so I headed over to talk to them (I probably should have driven off right away). As soon as I parked and popped the hood, one cop drove up and another walked up. . . . Since it was a state college parking lot, cookies and similar driving are illegal because it's public property. I asked the cops where I can go in the future to do cookies/'tuning' and they said a large private parking lot, so I asked them if Walmart would work. Suprisingly they said yes, but if Walmart complained they would have to get a warrant to come after me- not good. . .

To make a long story short, the turbo makes 1st and 2nd gear cookies VERY easy and VERY fun, but it can be illegal in places (duh!). So now, I have a $65 ticket and the possibility of an insurance increase (doh!), but I have to admit- it was fun while it lasted!
