luck of the draw really, ive gotten randomly stopped three times in the 7 years that i have owned it, once by one of those flashy highway patrol and the other 2 by a normal cop all doing random checks. unless you stand out like a sore thumb and on your P's your less likely to get pulled over. Even if you do, if your car is legal then there's nothing to worry about. they do the random check to see if your driving suspended or the car is stolen, which i know its bad to hear but id go on the limb and say it is a valid excuse for import drivers.
