10,000$, do you have it?

[Andrew Bohan]

what if someone is having a heart attack and there's no time wait for an ambulance?

oops street racing.

I would actually say NC is worse than that, or at least it has the potential to be. Say for example I show some kid in his civic what it feels to get beat by a Titan(you would not believe how many civics, celicas,V6 mustangs etc around here that think they are fast). And I get caught, my truck gets seized indefinitely and I get slapped w/ a fine/jail possibly. I owe more than 10,000 CDN on my truck.

It's coming... sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but just give it a few years.

Things like that make me depressed. Wasting all my money on my car makes me happy, I know it's dumb and maybe I'll grow out of it someday, but if they took that away right now, my life would completely suck and I'd have nothing to look forward to. People will lose interest in fun cars because owning one is turning into so much hassle, they'll rather just go to work and sit at home becoming a sheep to the government and its American way of life. Automakers will see the sales of sporty cars go down, and pretty soon the only models available in North America will be generic commuter Camry-types.

what? where in NC do you live? going to court usually drops WHATEVER fine you have by a minimum of 100 dollars. I've had room mates get 40 over tickets dropped to 20 over, driving school and a fine, regularly.

and "showing some kid in a civic" what your engine feels like doesnt mean you have to do 100mph on i85

[fromxtor]

In the state of NC if you get caught street racing(cause thats what this thread is about and what I was talking about), they seize your car. No matter how much you owe on it. I live in Goldsboro, and am surprised I have never met you on carolinanissans.com

[illvialuver]

thats bullshit.
Im glad america has plenty of open ass land like utah, and the mid west, to drive ass fast in. but ten grand? damn, and how can you call that shit predjudice?
fuckin everyone gets off with money, I mean when is the last time a rich person was like , damn i cant afford a dui?

[Andrew Bohan]

what if the punishment for every crime was death on the spot?

[Ninjabread]

Then you wouldn't have to worry about huge debt and losing your car.

[Dirty Habit]

Take off, eh. Ya Hosers.

When I move back.... Roomies!

Your rent can be unlimited use of your 240 (and your gf)

[Ninjabread]

You'll have to talk to jack about that....

haha I love how OT this thread went... It's all my fault too.

So yea about street racing and shift knobs.

[mRclARK1]

She'll take a look at Jack, and take a look at me, and the decision will be easy. lol

OT threads that don't need to be locked are some of the best ones.

[Ninjabread]

Well I guess it IS in the OT section... haha

I think outlawing performance modifications would have the opposite effect.
If I can't modify my car to do 0-60 in 5 seconds, I'd better be able to buy a factory stock new one that can do it in 4.5.
For reference, Kowalski's Challenger in Vanishing point was stock, and he was still able to have "fun" with it.

"son, I see you have a modified shift knob, so i'm accusing you of street racing."

I saw a documentary on Ontario street racing and have not be able to find the video since.

The best part was the dumbass inspectors with there "modifications" book. Guy had a fuel cell in his trunk. "This is filled with Jet Fuel to make the car run faster." I mean WTF? Is the car a diesel? cause that's the only thing that will run on Jet A. No Gas car will. Then they bust a guy for having bottle clamps in the car. No NO2 bottle. Just the clamps in the trunk.

But hey, let's all move to Canada for the free health care....

[m91silvia]

Oh wow..
glad i dont live in Canada!
$10k ticket!! i'll walk!

Yeah but that's a car from the old glory days of classic muscle cars made by the same companies that are producing trash nowadays, trying to live off their name. New cars are made so blind 90-year olds can drive them, plus there's no fun in owning a car with visible wheel gap haha.

[sr20boostn20]

thats one hell of a dumb crazy fine,

[kdashy]

Canadians drink milk from plastic sacs.

I'm sorry, but this made me LOL. Wait till you drive a car that doesn't have a KA. Seriously. It happens on a pretty regular basis.

EDIT: Ya, WTF is up with those sacks. We have cartons and jugs here only. My friend told me about it when he went to Ontario. Weeeeeird.

[Ninjabread]

haha ok, I wont lie the fuel cut has been hit many a time for shits and giggles, but I guess I'm not stupid (or just lucky enough) to not get caught.
