I'm not too worried about this. It says

[I]If we can establish someone has parts and they're juicing up their car

Theyre saying that if you street race, theyll crush your car.

That is all.

Dave you're screwed...

I wonder if they will sell tickets to the car crushing parties?

The problem is the open interpretation to "street racing" - and this interpretation is dependent upon a power tripping cop that has the final word.

Two people may happen to be going above the speed limit by 5 km/h side by side (w/ no intent to street race) and gets nabbed by a cop at a speed trap who wants to make a name for himself (to the media) will get the cars towed.

So what happens then? Even if you take it to court after (and spending $$$ on legal fees) to prove the cop in the wrong, your pride and joy is already a paper weight. Will the city / province pay you for a new car? Doubtful.

I have no problems with dishing out fines / penalties for stupidness on the road, but at least do something that makes sense.

I hear they're targetting yellow NSXs with big race wings on the back and no front lip, cause if it were a track car you'd have a lip. Read it in a blog I think...

This guy is just trying to get MEDIA attention....what ever man! Speed is speed....why not arrest Ferrari drivers? Cause the poor begger can't.....Like Porsche driver's don't speed....
