Wow, I never knew something like this existed!

"Driving while Asian"? Doesnt sound good for all the modders over here.
I wonder what things make a car "too" modified in Ca.? I understand things that would brake emission laws, but what else?

 

Man that stinks, I know a lot of people with modified cars. Does anyone know if they are doing everywere in CA or just in some areas. I think they are doing this in some ares only beacause they have pulled over my brother twice & never told him anything about having a modified car, and his car doesn't look anything stock.

Well now I have to rethink the Borlas!

 

Ahh.. California... the land of Fruits and Nuts!

That's too bad that they do that kind of stuff, I can only hope it doesn't catch on in other states

 

I cant belive people put up with this kind of strong arm tactics, we just need to make sure our goverment representatives understand we wil not put up with this.
Ok I will get off my soapbox now.

 

Yeah, Ive never heard of this "law" either.

 

I haven't heard of this specifcally. I have yet to see something like this enfoced at all, wonder if it'll build up.

 

WTF? whats wrong with modyfiying cars?! FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!!!!!!!!

break out the picket signs Petey, we've got work to do!

 

NY has californias emissons laws now, whats next? :angry:

 

You gotta be kidding. Racing stickers? Good Lord, what they're gonna think of next

 

and how is all that illegal?
jebus...

 

zooooooraaaan- you took that quote out of context

Here's it is in context

 

still.... its not fair! :angry:

 

To late, Virginia has pretty much dictated that anything other than a part with a factory stamp on it is an illegal modification. I'm sure its only a matter of seconds before the powers that be in Va read that article and catch this paragraph

<!--QuoteBegin-Newspaper.com
The concept, which originated in San Diego in 2001, has been spreading throughout the state and generated significant revenue for the California Highway Patrol and local departments. In Santa Fe Springs, for example, twelve officers on Drag-Net duty issued 300 citations and impounded 50 vehicles in just one weekend. Several cities have drag-racing ordinances that allow police to auction off seized cars and keep the profits.[/quote]

:notnice:

 

Guess what. New cars in all states now comply with CA emissions requirements and I think that's a very very good thing. I*f you had seen LA in the 50's and the 60's your eyes would still be watering from the smog. Now the biggest polluters are older commercial trucks and when they're gone the air will only get better.

Back on topic, this law is ridiculous and it's certainly not enforced where I live. Come on, stickers? Get real.

 

Yeah, I'm idiot.

 

The article also talked about tickets for excessive noise but I have never seen a Harley pulled over for that and some of them are obscenely loud.

 

That's why I like Florida. They don't give a **** what you do to your car as long as the head lights and tail lights work. They still crack down on street racers. They got this policy that if they catch you street racing, they give you warning, and if you do again, you lose your ride. Very simple, works and it doesn't bother the enthusiast community!

 

The People's Republic of California strikes again!!
