This is quite a bit more extreme than the occassional crushings they do in LA. All of the 6 cars crushed in Socal had stolen engines or transmissions. It'll be interesting to see how this Canadian thing plays out. They do have more than their fair share of ricers though.

We don't need to wait until that car hits the road fully loaded,” he said, adding that modified cars are as dangerous as explosives, capable of causing catastrophic damage.

yeaaah riiiight you read EVERYDAY about cars that rondomly explode because they are prepped for street racing... jesus wtf?

this is just rediculous

Our hobby is under attack. First street racers, next fast cars in general.

I think if they just take away ugly ricers that would be entirely sufficient. But really, given Canada's love of human rights, this is surely a violation of its own laws.

yea, i have mixed feelings. The legislation itself is absolutely terrible. If it is only used to take annoying little ricey cars of the street, I really wouldn't mind though. Yea, that's a double standard, but those cars are just that terrible.
