Also, my 1968 Mustang, I am currently trying to get modified collectors plates for it which involves passing a provincial inspection (essentially a VI) and I am unable to find a shop that's willing to stick their neck out to do this inspection for me because my car is modified. Dealerships/big chain places like Canadian Tire won't touch it because it's 1968 so there's no list of specifications to refer to and check what its in compliance with vs a stock vehicle and smaller shops, due to the modifications, which are relatively minor (in my opinion) they basically all tell me to go pound sand or literally say "No" before I can even finished explaining what I need and hang up the phone.
I am currently in discussion with ICBC's collector vehicle program what they want me to do because I've been unable to satisfy that requirement. I spent half a month calling around and ended up taking it to 1 shop who were basically doing it as a favour for a friend of mine, but I failed on a couple minor items (no fan shroud on my radiator fan and a leaking rear shock) and when I went back they refused to re-test my vehicle because they'd heard about all the issues Cain is causing and viewed my vehicle as a risk not worth taking for their inspector's license.
For the record, my Mustang has a Shelby drop (1.5"), 17" rims, stereo install, some engine mods (bigger carb, high flow heads, cam) and it does have mufflers, but you all know what Mustangs sound like with glasspacks and there's not much muffled about them. Nothing crazy or extreme like nitrous or a supercharger sticking out of the hood.

Unlike the past, whereas the enforcement was in Richmond. The general public view (rich Asians racing in Richmond). Today, it's blanketed to a broader range. The Vehicle Inspection is causing grief, intimidation, confusion, anger, distrust and hardship to the people affected. It's the perfect self regulated Police ticket, which they don't have to answer to the courts.
