Don't worry about flooring it while a cop is on your tail. As long as your windows are tinted, you'll be fine.

'Cause license plates don't exist, right?

do they not have license plates in argentina or something?

We do. In the front and in the back and a UV imprint on the engine. But you can always change them.

Oh yeah, wtf, I forgot to mention the more relevant to cars part of my day:

For the past 3 months I've been running my car without a front sway bar. It has handled like stuff the whole time, but I've learned how to drive it so I can still go fast. Today I finally put it back on. I wasn't running it because we stripped one of the studs for the sway bar clamp, but we rethreaded it today and it works like a charm. I can turn so much harder than I used to be able to, it's insane.

You can't just "change" license plates in America.

Who ever said anything about legality?

Yeah, who needs to be in good standing with the law and their insurance company?

You've resisted arrest. That's enough to get you wanted. Park somewhere, steal the license plates of the first car you see and put them on your car.

Not that easy.

It's obligated by law here to have a red triangle, a hammer, a screwdriver, a cricket and a fire extinguisher in your car at all times. Use the hammer to steal the plate, use the driver to replace it with your plates and voilá

still not happening in the us

License plates are registered to the specific car they're owned by. If a cop looking for a black 370z with license plate XXXXXXXXX pulled up behind me it'd probably run my plates just in case because I'm still a black 370z, and when it came up with Chevy Impala as the car make and model he'd instantly call for backup and light me up.

Also, I didn't resist arrest. Going 65 in a 30 isn't an arrestable offense, it's just a huge ticket. I ran from the police though, which is a pretty serious offense. Not enough to get an APB put out for my car though, and even if they did put one out I have plausible deniability because they didn't see my plate. Just 'cause I drive the same make and model and color doesn't mean it was me.

it doesn't matter if you have a whole loving toolbox it isn't going to happen.  In the US, police have computers in their cars and can look up your stuff on the spot.  Also why the forget would you use a hammer, just take the damn screws out.

God bless 3rd world countries! And you'd use a hammer so you can steal the plates as quick as possible. And some people have covered their screws.

Yeah lol God bless 3rd world countries where the police are ill equipped and you can get your license plate stolen right off your car because some idiot was too stupid to be inconspicuous when running from the police.  I'm done arguing with you on this, you're clearly not taking into consideration any of the circumstances in question when talking about a police chase in the US and simply substituting the condition of your own country's law enforcement.  We don't live in Argentina, things don't work the same way here, get that through your skull.

How would you outrun the cops in the US?
