Might be a good time to get stocks in "metals recycling" if this thing really takes off.![]()
I was talking to 2 buddies who are county cops last night that I caught on their break about this whole thing. They had read about it as well and thought it was pretty ludicrous as well. Their take was, there are far more important things to do then to have a few cops having to tend to this stupid matter, let alone the amount time and money that has to be spent on such a thing. Plus, no money is to be made from this, so it isnt cost effective at all. And besides, anyone who gets his car crushed isnt likely to learn his lesson anyways.... he will hate this system policy and do it again out of rebellion.
I look at it this way.... if it were in effect in my state, and some cop decided he didnt like the sound of my PV or found my complete LED light conversion interesting and pulled me over, just to pop my hood and find a S/C in there, he "could" find my VX negligent, because with an aftermarket S/C, I am CLEARLY a street racer. Suddenly, it's impounded and I get a summons to go watch it get the dozer in 3 weeks at the state depot. I am showing up really pissed off, with lawyers (even if it breaks me, which I am certain it would), a news crew, a copy of my driving record which shows no points, and my insurance statement to show that I am a low risk driver. If after all of that, it still takes the pancake massacre, I might be pissed off just enough to show them the "other" thing I brought.![]()
Granted, I am SURE there is a whole lot more to it, and it's really geared at multiple offenders and those with mismatched VINs, illegal parts, and/or stolen parts. The only thing mismatched in my VX is the driver, but that cannot be corrected.![]()
