Yeah, except these guys were not street racing. They were just suspects of it. I thought we were innocent until proven guilty.

Your cool.

Sucks that it happens, although its unfair. I don't think people should get slap on the wrists, but I think crushing cars are extreme.

I lived in so-cal for years
all the stricter laws do is make everyone run

everyone runs....if your girlfriend is watching in her ford ranger, you can bet your ass she is running too.





also, you can have your car srushed for having a jdm or illeagly (emissions) modified car.
everthing has to have a CARB sticker or its hot.
jdm engine? car crushed or sezed.
non carb turbo kit? the same.
non-carb exhaust? 2700$ ticket
we all kept all of our stock parts , and had stock engines in the garage if we got our hoods popped so we could swap it all back to pass the state ref.

it sucks. You really need to have deep pockets to even modify a street car in cali because carb parts are so expensive. So everyone just runs.

Yeah, they're going to sell parts they deem illegal, so the buyers can have illegal modifications on their car. That would make the government super smart huh?

Haha, very true. So many times I would go to the runs in my Camry, just because I was so scared I'd get pulled over just for being in the area. But like you said, when the cops came, everyone ran. Whether you were driving a Toyota Supra, or a Toyota Camry. That was back in '01 though.
...damn I miss Cali...
