If they're pulling over regular Joes with almost stock cars, many of whom have no connection to the car modding community and probably have no idea who Dukkake is, then it is no longer about getting an apology from anyone. This is about them being assholes for the hell of it and costing us hundreds of dollars in unwarranted inspection fees because they can. They have the power to abuse this loophole and I'm sure they feel amazing for it.

It's worth a try.

At least it will get rid of one excuse they have to pull people over basically because "this car doesn't look like a 1999 Corolla, which is like the only car I know."

If they keep doing it, then it's just corruption and everyone is welcome to call them out on it.

The Filipino dads with rims on their 2003 Corollas are next.

I'm going OEM+ if this gets any worse. Who wants Weds Kranzes?

yray 10-18-2018 05:49 PM

can you get a vi for a parked car?

Badhobz 10-18-2018 05:51 PM

Everyone sell your modified or not modified cars !!!!!! Ahhhhhhh run for the biege corolla hills

CorneringArtist 10-18-2018 05:56 PM

I'm curious as a side note though, anyone know anyone in the 4x4 scene that's been affected by this?

fliptuner 10-18-2018 06:02 PM

Has anyone that's received a VI recently, asked for proof that their car does comply with the MVA?

At some point, you're getting harassed and should consider calling 911, stating as such and request a supervisor attend.

westopher 10-18-2018 06:06 PM

Problem is Cain is the supervisor

yray 10-18-2018 06:08 PM

LOL request for supervisor every VI

JDMDreams 10-18-2018 06:26 PM

Things escalated quickly, this Cain sure knows how to get attention to his name. Westopher please tell us what happened.

you start regretting after waiting for an hour...

westopher 10-18-2018 06:35 PM

They said there is corrosion on my fenders from rubbing. 100% false
Illegal aftermarket seatbelts. 100% false
Modified exhaust. True, l guess that’s good enough from what I read above.
Either way. I guess car is going back to stock. My time is too fucking valuable for this shit.
It wasn't cain that issued it, but he came as the supervisor. I guess the car was so dangerous he needed backup.

A retired guy I know in Squamish here got a VI in Vancouver a few months ago, plus many additional fines (one was for his GPS blocking his vision in the windshield). He drove a Jeep with a mild 2" lift, bigger tires, and aftermarket bumpers/fenders. Nothing extreme, just practical mods for off roading (though his Jeep doesn't have a scratch). He had to return to stock to get the inspection and he said he's had enough, moving further north away from teh Cidiots.

R. Mutt 10-18-2018 06:57 PM

I have nothing constructive to add except this sucks donkey balls. Miss driving my car...and the weather being this nice late into the year is making it even worse.

Honestly I'm at that point. I've been sick of this city for a while. Fuck it here. Everything is some bullshit cash grab fuckover.
Its just not worth being here if one of my favourite hobbies, and one of the best car scenes in the country is going to be ruined.
Especially considering all the good the scene has done for the community that outweighs the bad.

westopher 10-18-2018 07:03 PM

Nvm

CorneringArtist 10-18-2018 07:06 PM

Action Plan!
 
go get a freedom of infomation request for VI's for the last 5 years and also a count for this year

Also ask for a count of all VI's from Cain and other idiots in the last year

Take the video from riceboi where the references are made to non OEM thus the need for VI

MVA doesnt have any condition that states that non oem parts are not allowed. Every ticket on here states none oem wheels, non oem exhaust but those are not criteria's within the MVA

The officer clearly doesnt understand the law he is entrusted to enforce so therefore any VI's he's written since are not valid and will all be tossed because he's creating his own interpretation of the law itself.

File a suit against the VPD. As soon as its filed all this BS will stop until it goes to court in which case we'll want all VI's issued by CAIN and any other idiot that references OEM parts to be tossed once and for all.
