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 |

From the Dad's point of view...
Thanks to those who replied. Especially the first link talked about what the policia are looking for when they inspect for modified cars. Mark, I appreciate your words of wisdom as well as the others that posted. I am concerned that there are 'enthusiastic' men in blue that interpret the laws differently than others. I'm lucky that Andrew has a good head on his shoulders. He has a lot of respect for others on the road. I do believe some muni's have created ordinances like LA and Sac that allow them to go the distance with street racers. Impounds and crushing cars as will. My fear is that in a moment of misjudgment the officer will take one look at his age and the beast of a car he’s driving and determine that he ‘must’ be a street racer. I’m probably just being a worry wart, but that’s my job… (You would be too if your Son was driving a 914 with a V8 in it.) DanD Oh Yah, I like California too. No bugs...(I was going to say no snow, but it may snow tonight...) |
