well a new law passed in ontario, they have the right to seize and crush modified cars if they beleive you modded your car to street race. and they will crush it before you can appeal the case. so much for innocent untill proven guilty, i think ralph nader moved to canada to f*** us car guys over. but its not gonna stop me, im still doing. and do they not know how many business will go out of buiseness and how many lifes will be ruined.

that sucks and is really stupid. I mean, my car will be fast and could be associated as a street racing car, but i wont ever be doing that so its rediculous.

OK honestly, im pissed. this guy is an idiot. Hes saying if you put an intake on your car in your driveway, hes going to crush it because you may race. So stupid. Ya, people die in car crashes dues to speed. In all car accidents, speed is an issue. If they were going 3mph noone would get hurt. But without seeing someone race and just thinking they might becasue they want a nicer, faster car is just pure bs.

That's f***ing gay... No matter what I say, it's not going to change peoples thinking....

f*** it. I'll say it anyways... I mod my car with performance parts for fun.... As a challenge to myself. It's fun. I like doing it. It gives me something to do in my spare time. I don't street race. I go to car shows. For them to take my car that I love so much and crush it because they believe I could possibly be involved in street racing is f***ed up. That's a load of meecrob!

Same type of stuff here in Nova Scotia since they passed the new laws in january,expecially the inspections,and the insurance is incredible...No engine mods AT ALL or no insurance!!..If its modded ,it has to be Frame inspected by a specialist and insured under the dangerous drivers act with the drunks,and convicts,and the car is only insured for $5000.MAx unless its apphrased! Really coming down hard this year!!

True north strong and FREE my ass....That's a dumb ass ruling and because Toronto is taking street racing seriously now every other city will adopt a similar policy...Some times I wonder if the Taliban is really that bad to live with (Although they seem to have a differing opinion than me on my pro booze,weed and strippers policy...)

So are they crushing all SRT4's? GTP's? z06? .....lol. I don't think so.


They will only seize it and crush it if you are caught street racing. They can't just take your car and crush it because your neighbor calls the cops and says your installing a exhaust to street race. Do you know how many law suites they would have?

Can anyone say LAWSUIT? That is what Governments in Canada will be saying if they really think they can just take somone's car and crush it because they put an aftermarket intake on. That kinda stuff would NEVER fly in the United States. The ACLU would have a field day with it.
