Try to get it back ASAP, because you will probably get it stripped

So how can they legally take your car.. I understand getting a ticket, but if there was no moving violation to get you pulled over, how do they "decide" what cars to look at?

I live in Vermont btw, so forgive the ignorance.

Someone want to explain to me why they are impounding modified cars? California has strict emissions regulations I know, but I get better gas mileage with my GSR swapped EG hatch than my other car got with the stock D15B7 in my other car.
Stolen parts, I understand.

southern cali got that 600K grant to stop street racers and train the cops on what to look for. i wish i could find the video of the new reporter walking around an ITR explaining about the magical buttons on the vtec controller making the car turning to a racecar.

They sound ask for their money back. My friend had a stock intake without the soundbox and they claimed it was aftermarket.

all i can say on this memorial day to everyone in cali is bye bye freedom. with that cali has made now impossible to ref a JDM motor, now if you pretty much drive a honda or acura that looks like it has any modifications you will be harassed by the police. Its amazing that for everything that then men had fought for in 1775 to get away from a government that was telling people what to do all went to **** in California. Almost sounds like a communist state since we have to be overtaxed and be in debt at the same time.

Hell yeah! I'm in North Carolina, and I had a cop pull up next to me who knew his stuff! Commented that he loved my painted LS Meshies! HE ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE!
