    I knew a drug dealer back in the day, he was dealing a lot, I was always amazed he didn’t get busted. He drove a pimped out car with a badass system in it, rims, tinted windows, and lowered. A bunch of police officers would hang out where I worked (an auto shop) and dude would drive by and the cops all said they KNOW he’s dealing they just can’t bust him, every time they stop him, he’s clean. I told him about it and he said "Pfft those idiots think I’m dumb enough to deal in this??? Shit, I have a normal car in a rented for cash garage across town I use.

    It was plain jane as it gets, not trashed, and not clean. He’d put some shit in it from his mom, some work cloths, and a worn out pair of boots I’m pretty sure he got from somebody else.

      No need to answer but where was this at? Cause I had my dealer at the time on speed dial and he would do the exact same thing so just curious. My guy was named Don…and no he wasn’t in the mob just a big pothead.

          That sounds about how it went with the guy at my HS in Canada. Guy had an illegal exhaust and would get pulled over all the time, but if he had another car like that, that makes perfect friggen sense. The rumour was dad was mafia related.

          Wouldn’t work with surveillance nowadays, but in the 00s yeah.
