I'm sorry to hear it is still a crime to be tall. I was living there when they put the law into effect and my GTO had pizza cutters on the front and L50/15's on the back. Couldn't tell you how many times I was pulled over by a bored lawman looking to measure my rear bumper height. They never had a tape just a flashlight they would claim was 18". Then I would whip out my tape and show them I was 19 1/2". Good by 1/2"!

That usually led to the kind officer touring around my car looking to point out some other infraction.

I remember you could buy lifted trucks for dimes on the dollar after they passed the law.
