Worst states to live in for a modded car.

Sorry guys, CA wins easily. With the visual emissions inspections (they won't even test your car if something looks aftermarket under your hood), the CARB system, anything you do under the hood will get you a ticket, and the fact that they're crushing your car in SoCal if you're caught street racing, I don't know of any other place where it's more difficult to have a modded car. I must applaud the car crushing though - that should deter some folks from acting stupid on the streets... or maybe not. Not to mention the financial troubles CA is having - they won't be fixing many roads in the next 5 years due to all the cost-cutting measures. Don't get me started on the cops... though I don't put myself in many situations where cops would harrass me. I stay away from the night-time hangouts that attract police. But nevertheless, try talking your way out of a fix-it ticket when they ask you to pop your hood. You'll be going to the "state emissions ref" where your engine bay must look completely stock to pass the test.

Everything that's being done in other states usually comes from CA. If you have visual inspections at emissions time, you can thank CA lawmakers. Just look for places where street racing is a big problem, you'll find that state to be tough on modded cars. Cali is the winner. I can't begin to explain how happy I am that I moved when I did.

Chris is right. I've had plenty of trouble with local law enforcement, but I have NEVER been pulled over/ticketed for my car being modified.

i think ever one in america needs to get and end this $**t enough is enough the cops everwhere are pricks here in good ol america wv i had to post $3500 for bail or wait for 2months court date set for wreckless driving which my car slide on the gravel on the shoulder hit a g-rail to phone poles used as mail boxes and almost a house at near 50 mph then tryed to book me for durg charges and a dui a evading police speding not to metioned my talon is still out cause of a clucth and i totaled my o1 malibu and riped the firewall off! now i face more money problems ###......

the cops cant make there quote and have to f everyones life up on mistake they make and to lazy to fix it now i have to waste more money on a f-up he made that makes me look bad and at fault !!!

Sounds like quite an awful time, but you might have run into a bad cop. Oh yea, definately try to use some punctualization next time...that was hard as hell to read.
