I think it's San Diego, but one city can now confiscate your car and destroy it [instead of auctioning it off] if caught street racing. I saw a news clip where they destroyed a 3rdgen Camaro.
Edit: It's LA. Here's the video clip

Why don't they go after people that cause more serious offenses, like drunk driving. More people die a year from accidents involving a DUI then street racing. But DUI's are back on the street over the weekend. Sometimes even multiple convictions don't stop them from driving.

It would be illegal to put even a CARB legal lid on your car unless you have the credentials. He was a great bodybuilder, but as far as a governor I think he sucks.
as far as being a governor or leader in this country everyone immediately blames you for everything, take some responsibility of your own. stupid kids dont kill themselves street racing you dont have a prob. if you want to blame one person/group blame the people who made the fast & the furious

I didn't vote for the terminator, and don't feel I have any personal responsibility to own up to. There are some really stupid drivers out their that do have a part in bringing about legislation like this. As for signing in a bill like this, I do hold the terminator responsible. Who else should I blame me? I didn't sign it. When he signs the bill that takes away our freedom to work on our own cars, I will be blaming him once again.

wow!
Even more of a reason to run from the cops now when you are racing in an industrial area with nobody around except other racers/spectators that know the risks.
if the red and blue lights get behind me I am going to serve it.

Hey Redneck Z, how do you get around emissions with your mods? I moved out to Torrance CA from Orlando FL. I havent done any mods yet because I am worried about the smog police.

It needs to go ahead and fall off into the ocean, what a crock of ****! Glad I live in TN because I'd be in jail the rest of my life if I lived there. I'd like to see them tell me what I can and can't do to my Z-28, I'd say blow me and keep on modding.

whoa last night was race night . . there were so many cops last night the helicopter was flying back and forth from race spot to race spot . . we couldnt even gather up becasuse the cops would show up and starting writting tickets for everything. . and i mean everything. . and im not sure but i think there was a high speed chase. . who knows.. its getting crazy . .i remember the days my brother would take me and the cops would just tell u to leave now they close of the streets and trap everyone in. . theres more accedents cause by people running then the actuall races. . i donno my two cents. . cali = **** great place to live worse place to race. .or now even have a personalized car. .but i got one thing to say there never ganna stop us 
just ganna have to get smarter. . 
just remember . . its better to drink and drive 
then race . .so next time u wanna race. .grab a beer

I was thinking about moving to Cali after college, but I don't like the direction their public policies are going (too hippiesh and I live in Austin). Guess I stay down herrr in Texas.

You're right, I have chosen to live here, but things are getting rediculous and I'd eventually like to move out of state.

If it was me, I'd be sweating bullets everytime I pulled alongside a cop with a G5X3 and longtubes, here in sac.
all these rules about not being able to modify the car I pay for is a bunch of horseshit. I make the car payment, so I will do what I want to it.

I'm with Redneck Z! CA is starting to suck donkey *****!
Yeah... we should take their star away and give it to Puerto Rico.
It'll fall off into the ocean someday, anywho.

Boohoo...
You're all hippies...
California sucks...
Democrats suck...
I'm glad I live where I live...
blah...blah... ******* blah...
I'm glad you live where you live too. I was born and raised in CA, have had SEVERAL modified cars and as long as you stay reasonable, you're okay.
Sure, driver's tests, smog and octane is more stringent than the rest of the country, but I'd rather be here than anywhere else.
Just like cars, banks, music and women... love what YOU LOVE and be happy with it and stop bashing what you don't like or understand.
