Modified Cars Impounded

So the guys at Ivalet that clean my car told me about this a few days ago as he is mates with one of the people involved and showed me his FB page with this on. I have now found a Press article about it. Ridiculous Mods that are not legal here let alone Germany. 6K in Euro fines alone..

Was all over Facebook, these guys were running stretched tyres and scraping against the floor.

Most of the cars were just not roadworthy. Not at all surprised that they got impounded.

I'm glad they are off the road as they are clearly not fit to be on there!

I wish they would start impounding some of the POS wankmobiles you see every day on the road in the USA, but people would start yelling about their freedom (or freedumb).

Where you are California has some pretty strict inspection rules. You should see some of the stupidity here in Nevada.

Aside from smog testing, the only vehicle inspections in California are when the cops make a traffic stop.
