West Coast Laws, Daddy took the 6G away... Options

[Lexicon_Devil]

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.

last weekend i was on the way back from working late..i was cruisin in the right lane goin 70 (its like 2:40am) and some guy in a 240 comes up behind me goin at least 80 and slows down n starts tailgatn me. i'm like..dude, its late i wanna get home get off my nuts. so i signal to change lanes and he follows me. i go back to the right lane and he pulls up next to me and starts revvin his engine..LOL. so i speed up from 70 to 75 jus to mess with him and he pulls away goin at 100 while we go into a curved freeway junction. i go back to 70 and right then a CHP pulls past me from the onramp and follows the guy for about 3 miles before he pulls him over.

that night, i felt like the cops were doing their job. there are many times when they are just arseholes and i hate em for it. this is one of the times where the guy truly at fault got what he deserved.

and the street racing thing isn't new, they have been crushin cars like playr said but it was rather recently when they started 'cracking down' on them a lot more because of dumb kids doin 80 on residentials and public streets, killing pedestrians and each other.

and Cali_ST..i totally understand the whole charger chasin your arse. they have em around in riverside and jeesus, if i ever saw one chasin behind me i'd probably shiite myself lol
