My dad and i are leary of this new law that allows the cops to pull over any car that is "modified".
Does anyone know any details? or can someone post the actual law? My dad thinks they can impound my car and crush it and i'll never get it back... This is on the basis that they pull me over for no apparent reason. ALSO, knowing that I will never street race, what if they catch me get on it a little, or throw some tire smoke.. Anyways, Im 19, and here are some obvious facts about my car (and soon to be car) It will have subtle flares, but it will have 18x10's on the back with a lot of rubber. Brakes look stock, fronts are painted red. Fiberglass front and rear bumpers w/ (soon to be) lexan rear spoiler Lights are stock Front trunk has louvers, not entirely noticable, in body paint color. Body is factory phoenix red (orange) Mirrors un decided, but will have left and right. License plate on both front and rear bumper. Engine lid stock, can see chrome air filter cover (will paint) obvious sbc Exhaust is dual, side exit w/ 2 mufflers, should be relatively quiet under normal driving. Racing seats Racing harness's momo wheel, factory guages Small tubes no higher than stomach (while sitting down) for long to door pillar bracing (follows seat lines) Black carpet Thats about all they can see.. Car is a 73, does not need smog... What can they do to me? Andrew |

"Mexifornia" is the only state in the nation where the cops will patiently follow a double homicide suspect at 30 MPH down the 405 for 60 minutes and at the same time pull over a 19 year old kid and impound his fucking car for having a loud muffler (as a stupid Harley growls by in the background)!!!!! I know a friend in Upland, CA who got thrown in jail for spray painting a small area by his pedal box while restoring a 911 in his apartment garage. A nosey neighbor didn't like the noise (compressor)and called the cops on him at 8:00 AM (I thought that wasn't too early). The cops showed up and saw him spray painting...AND GET THIS....called the Fire Dept. The boys with their big red trucks and asbestos suits arrive a few minutes later and start to investigate the "apocalyptic scene". My friend James gets irritated by the huge over reaction of the local law enforcement and Fire Dept. He gets cited with 4 violations and carted off to jail because they didn't like his attitude. NOW...all you other guys that live in a state other than CA...ask yourself if this is more likely to happen where you live. I'm betting 99-100% of all non CA residents on this forum will agree that this is a CA phenomenom only. Hey it's a beautiful state...there's alot of reasons why I still love to go there...but Jesus Christ...It's the most over legislated place in the world.
