Weak!!!
So when they seize the car are they going to crush it then?

ourbloodykisses · 10-03-2009, 11:17 AM

suckss

mcperson2k · 10-03-2009, 11:22 AM

No, they will prob keep them in a warehouse, so that the next time Paul Walker has to go undercover, he will have a decent sized selection.

Scapegoat · 10-03-2009, 11:23 AM

sucks for the owners... but you gotta pay to play.

though, it is pretty ****ing stupid that they're generally illegal to own in the states

OMGz Turbo · 10-03-2009, 11:31 AM

I'm pretty sure they go to a private export auction and are sold pretty cheap and sent overseas.

jcr557 · 10-03-2009, 12:03 PM

that sucks

ndubz · 10-03-2009, 01:16 PM

That...... Is unconstitutional on every possible level. Theyre registered as kit cars. You dont see the feds taking people's noble M400's and hot rods. Why are they doing this with skylines? and if they are cuz they arent supposed to be here, then why dont they go confiscate all of the porsche 959s, Pagani Zondas, and other imported high performance cars. This is bull****. These people are heretics.

DPancoast · 10-03-2009, 01:56 PM

lol... do you even know what the requirements are of a "kit car". I highly doubt that they are following the rules of having a kit car and are DDing them every day.

Too ****ing bad.

evomike · 10-03-2009, 01:59 PM

So because the govt thinks they may be driven frequently they just came and took em? That's kinda wack and really out of line I'd be pissed

DPancoast · 10-03-2009, 02:12 PM

lol while I would be pissed too, it's just what happens. It's the govt and it's IN CALIFORNIA... of all states in the US... you can't be surprised.

evomike · 10-03-2009, 02:35 PM

I just doesn't seem legal to me it even says they suspect they are being driven
frequently that's a lawsuit in my book.

DPancoast · 10-03-2009, 02:55 PM

Yeah. The more I think about it, the more I want to know.

Is the govt monitoring the cars to suspect "frequent driving"....

How did they find out who owns the cars and where they are?

Why did they pick that specific company to target?

I have a feeling there is more to the story and that there are other **** ups behind the scenes.

ndubz · 10-03-2009, 02:59 PM

Unconstitutional as hell. Time for a revolution and overthrow the Terminator Government in cali.

den9 · 10-03-2009, 03:11 PM

they are probably for off road use only.

It's california, all cars have property tax every year. DMV is state government, that's how they know

ScubaSteve · 10-03-2009, 04:10 PM

You know the government couldn't turn down an opportunity for a good raiding.

DPancoast · 10-03-2009, 04:11 PM

well then there's the answer.... it's just life in CA
