VIN NUMBERS!!!!!
I am going to post this on all forums.
The other day my stupid neighbor parked his race car outside on the street(public) and covered it with a car cover.
Well, that same week it got towed and a vehicle theft recovery team agent came by the my house asked me if I knew anything about this vehicle. I said "yeah it's the guy up street who own's it". He replied "that vehicle has no VIN numbers and no plates". I said "yeah, of course it doesn't have any plates cause it's a race car!?" He said that it's a felony if you remove or deface any vin numbers and this vehicle didn't have any dashboard where the vin should have been at. I told him that the vin number on the firewall and on the door jam is still in tact it should be fine. He said "No, removing a dash with a vin number is a felony". I'm like WTF is this idiot thinking! I told him that a bunch of my racer friends remove their dashboards as well as my own race car! He's said "Just better make sure that I don't catch them!" On the same note this whole conversation was occuring in my garage with my friends Integra being gutted out for full race. He looked inside my friends car and said "I could arrest you for removing your dash". In my mind I felt like kicking him in his throat for being so stupid! I told him "don't worry I have the dash in the back of my friends Suburban(we were just about to take it to the junk yard).
Please tell me that this Officer is full of it cause that's what my SF cop friend said. By the way this was DALY CITY cop too as well.

Re: VIN NUMBERS!!!!! ([626]JDM-b16a-EF9)
I don't know..........it doesn't sound TOO far off....think about it, if you convert a car to FULL RACE and in doing so remove the dash no big deal....because a FULL RACE reace car will(should) NEVER SEE THE STREETS........so if it is not on the streets ten he would not see it for it to be illegal......If it IS on the streets, then it IS NOT a FULL RACE race car, so it SHOULD BE "STREET LEGAL".......just a thought though, i could be off..........
