Default Meatballs/rondels legal on the road

Happy Sunday

I was wondering if anyone on here knew if there are any legalities with driving a Cobra with meatballs and decals in place on California roads? I thought I would ask before I got ticketed...

I have no idea, but I will say that it will be a very sad day when a road-legal, licensed motor vehicle can only be driven on the public highway when the paint color or scheme meets the approval of the State Road-Nazis.

I suspect they are perfectly legal, but they'll sure draw even more attention to an already attention getting car.

well, while i was getting my 92mph ticket a month ago. not one word was mentioned of my meatballs, or my vintage stickers. seemed more concerned of the fact that he was doing 110mph trying to catch me and i was getting smaller in his windshield.

I drive with mine on the highway and on the streets all the time, fully decked with everything. Not a word, fully legal.

the only legality would be the speeding tickets as they watch your vintage race car go by.

they point the laser at the roundels for a target.

I have driven mine with logos and stickers on it and the only thing they ever said was about a sticker that I had on the windshield and it was legal as I had it in the lower right hand corner. He did tell me to be sure they would not blow off and land on someones windshield that was behind me.
