Just saw this on MAC. They say they do not need any charges to take your car and crush it. You do not even have to race it. All you have to have done is modded your car to go faster. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2007/06/20/streetracing-cars-seize.html
My mom's comment about it: "You look like a doper, you ARE a doper. You dress like a hooker you ARE a hooker. That's marshall law. Terrible." Needless to say my parents love my car. Every time they make the 6 hr drive here they want to take a ride.
So if I was living up in Canadia and decided I wanted to buy a old muscle car that had been modded, they would crush it? I bet not Those canadian laws....lol
So my question is if I go on a trip there are they going to take my car and crush it? Sounds like I am never going there again. They will not be getting my tourist money. Too bad too. I used to love rock climbing up there. They have some really nice areas out near Toronto.
Well, you could make your STi a sleeper :biggrin: I think that take the fun away from your car though hehe
Not sure if I would call it better. From what I have heard (my wife is a Doc) it is pretty much free but the level of care tends to be a lot lower than here.
yeah, this is going to go over well. imagine every kid with a fart can and intake getting pulled over for minor violations. "sir please step out of the vehicle so we can determine if you have after market parts installed for the purpose of driving faster. if we find such parts we may impound and crush your........." SCREEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "WE GOT A RUNNER!!! WE GOT A RUNNER!!!!!"
What this effectively does is eliminate the low-budget weekend racers that race legally at the track. People that can afford to upgrade their daily driver a bit to be competitive in legal racing events, but don't have the money for a dedicated race car and a trailer to get it to and from the events. If you criminalize race cars, only criminals will own race cars.
And what about a sanctioned stage rally event in Ontario? They travel public roads while transiting stages sometimes. Will the police be there to enforce this "no mods" law? Some ignorant lawmaker has an axe to grind against gearheads it sounds like.
Imagine this... Canadian troopers pull over a whole stream of highly modified street cars. All of these cars, modified for racing, have been impounded and crushed. In other news Ontario Pro Rally has been canceled due to the siezure of all the participants cars...
well thats good to know, i was in Canada last winter with my car. I was visiting family members in International Falls and went to some of my cousins hockey games in Canada. But the guards at the border were nice, that could be cause my aunt and uncle are on the fire & rescue squad for I.F. so they have special plates on there vehicles.
eh?! lol this is stoopid! so as far as modding goes...is that like getting rims too? damn canadians...
