It's not just facebook marketplace there are a ton of buy/sell groups on facebook. You have some just for beaters others for tires or car audio equipment etc.

Ya, facebook classifieds are taking off (both the facebook groups and the facebook buy/sell). In big cities like Van where craigslist is still popular and well used I would say it's not as prevalent. But in small towns it's the go to, at least for me it has been. Best way to snag deals (especially furniture).

but for the suspension being "too stiff"

The question is, would he pass his VI with the suspension the way it is.
Same goes for the exhaust.

He may just be freaking out. Just use Joon as an example. his car was able to pass without any changes.

I found a $11,000 obo AP1(200k km) posted on FB marketplace. Sold by a lady in her late 50's. I'm sure you could have probably picked it up for sub $9k as she seemed to want to get rid of it or doesn't see the outrageous prices other people were asking. There's always random good deals on there

I got a great deal on a set of coils for my wagon on there. Its fucking garbage to use though. I searched Porsche 911, and like 14 cars down was a pt cruiser, a vacuum, some fucking goalie pads, a fan, etc.
so did you get the pt cruiser?

did you manage to find any custom tshirts or skin products being sold by stay at home moms?

Saw a generic RCMP SUV, but it had CVSE graphics on the side instead. Is it a new thing?

The CVSE always had cars like that for as long as I remember. The explorers are just govt spec so they look like the police explorers. They mostly use them to enforce CVSE laws on commercial trucks.

I see those all the time on Marine Way. Several times though, when the CVSE have the commercial vehicle blitz, they have RCMP officers hiding behind them or standing in the median targeting speeders too.

i see them a lot along United blvd near the casino.
Most of the time, I see them in their bigger GMC trucks, usually don't see them in the Explorers but I have seen the Explorers on the road.

most of the inspector CVSE vehicles are F350's so that they can store all the equipment needed for inspection. The GMC's are usually for the supervisors who tag along or to be driven to attend meetings.

Still looking for dashcam videos of your VIs. The reporter has found someone who is willing to go on camera, following a VI in which they passed with no alternations.

Thanks.

Do you have the link to the one of the 2 series getting pulled over on the Granville Bridge for having an 'illegal' side mounted front plate?

Finally someone brave enough to carry out what's been long over due! Glad this someone stepped up and committed to change this for the better of the car community, because this shit ain't right...

Media exposure is what we need, regardless of the population for or against the movement, it will still be brought up to the VPD superiors for review.

I hope this news video and possibly accompanying article will be good. We should submit it to Jalopnik and they can broadcast it to their millions of followers.

No one is sending their Dashcam videos because there is a 90% chance their car violates god knows how many MVA guidelines. Lettus be real.

That BRZ was a one-off.
