I don't mean any disrespect to you west coast 6GC'ers out there, but the more I read about your George Orwellian regulations on that side of the country, the more I'm I sit here in disbelief. I mean, California brought us the-ever-memorable Surfin' USA, The acid soaked Hippie Movement - Tune in - Turn On - Drop Out, and every other laid-back, pot laced theme you could think of. Yet, you can't do anything with your car or they'll take it away? I was just reading this story online (with photos) of dudes who had their cars taken away and crushed by "the man". Needless to say, they were Toyotas and Hondas. Dudes who were doing, say, 20 over the speed limit and were deemed "street racers"... Dude, if that was happening near Detroit, you'd just hear assault rifles and see the National Guard coming in. It'd make the '67 riots look like a practice round. Every Hillbilly in the land would be taking to the streets like road warrior. With giant stickers that said "MODDED" plastered on their cars. As much as I'm a history buff, I'm clueless as to how this took root..and who allowed it to happen. It's so over-the-top, I can't even wrap my head around it. Somebody fill me in.

Up in Canada we only have Crown Vics and Chargers
![]() Also, Ontario is the Canadian equivalent to California when it comes to nazi street entiforcement. I've heard of people being pulled over for under hood checks. If you don't have the plaque on your engine or transmission, its considered stolen. If you're caught going 50km/h over the speed limit you are "Street racing" and your car is impounded or crushed. I've also heard about randomly pulling over ricer civics and ****. On the subject of street racing: I don't think its very wrong, Its dangerous but there's really nowhere else w can go. Everyone is trying to bust down on street racing but cars keep getting faster and safer, and they keep closing down more and more racetracks. If governments want to bitch about street racing they should do the smart thing and open more racetracks instead of closing them down so that we have a place where we can go to get all of this out of our system or else they should expect more racing related deaths. The only real track I think we have up here is Mo-sport and its a good 4 hours drive for me ![]() -------------------- ![]() (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.

They may be 45 minutes away, but only $20 to race. Plus you can get a lot of people and bbq or something out there. Its fun. There is small events out there too. AND we are getting a drifting track closer to my city than the 45min drag strip. So for the residents here, there is no excuses. The cops are not too too bad here. But a few can be. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
