View Full Version : Just watched someone get towed

Coming home putting along at 60km/h on finch at around 1am. Coming up to the 404, on the bridge at a light I see a few opp cruisers with light flashing and a black civic coupe already latched on to a tow truck.

Pulled up to the light, looked and saw a young chinese guy and his girlfriend standing in the cold (6 degrees celcius) no jackets, and looking scared and generally not amused. Officer just getting out of his car (already on tow truck) filling out some papers.

needless to say, I shook my head... and continued on my way when the light went green.

P.S. also passed a police cruiser hiding at a stop sign before this.. didn't even see it until I was moving again, needless to say, I did a proper stop.

Just wanted to share. That is all.

Pretty sure the lesson is not to stereotype the civic driver. Read me (http://www.toronto-subaru-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105836).

Up until now, I've only read of people being impounded for doing 50 over.

This is the first time I'm hearing about someone getting impounded for being accused of street racing. I wonder if this will hit the press? It's good that those Subaru guys are talking about it. Maybe we'll get to hear how it plays out.

I can't wait to see you getting towed one day for impeeding traffic, I will pull over and laugh, maybe even spit in your face!

The reality is that we've been debating this issue for a while now. Since day one there have been a number of heated debates and numerous threads on TSC about this topic. A number of members even managed to get perma-banned, in groups at a time lol. Then the club went down because someone decided to DDoS the !@#$ out of the site. Then everyone started downtalking the TSC on another very popular forum NASIOC.com. The thread there grew faster than a STi geos 0-60. Only a few weeks ago the site came back online.

Yes.. It has been a very rough time on TSC ever since that law has passed now.

Think he was referring to the topic poster when the topic was "Just watched someone get towed & enjoyed it" . Mainly the end part.. that was edited out of the main post now.

I feel sorry for the civic guy, I mean, I hate those loud catless exhausts but still, wrong time wrong place that sucks.

Also, this stereotype BS needs to stop. Honestly they need to go after the SUV's doing 150 on highways. I'm not saying they don't, but I really wonder when we're going to hear a middleaged man or woman charged of street racing in a land rover

How old are you ? 2 ?

How does his original comment offend you in anyway?

I bet if you saw someone zoom by you on the highway going 150km/h, only to see him pulled over by OPP at the next exit you would laugh too.

Chuckie assumed this was the case with the honda civic. He has acknowledged that his assumption was incorrect and retracted his comment.

Maybe I should spit in your face because your car is stock .

What makes you think this isn't happening? I have yet to see a single breakdown on the types of vehicles being impounded. If it was a bunch of modified Civics, I'm sure that would be in the media.

I suspect there's a whole lot of pissed off rich people right now missing their bimmers and benzes because they figured they weren't the target demographic for this law. Of course, without info, that's all just speculation too.

wow can't everyone just feel the love in this thread??? everyone needs to calm down... no one needs to spit on anyone..... cuz thats really disrespectful... no one on this board can't say they haven't given a quick laugh at the car that gets pulled over.... whether it be modded or not.... as for spitting on someone for having a stock car.. ?? what the hell does that have to do with anything! Not everyone wants to mod a car or has the money to do it..... that being said... theres no need to turn on one another...... what it comes down to his this.... if your caught doing the crime.. be prepared to do the time.... and as far as the unfair stereotyping goes.... its been around for how long now?? Sadly this is something import tuners.... have had to deal with since "street racing" was glorified by the first "fast and the furious" movie. while it is sad... it unfortunately has become a reality, for us to look over our shoulders everytime we see a police officer....

as I was once told by a friends dad.... "if you don't like the attention don't drive a modded car"

wow, you completely missed my point.

Cereal83's comment about spitting on someone was so irrelevant that I said "I should spit on you for having a stock car" ... which is just as irrelevant.

Thats true, i agree that my comment is speculation, and should have mentioned that.

Anyone know if the cops are required to at least give the speeder/racer a ride home or do they just go "Well, it's been nice, but I gotta go..." and they leave you on the side of the road..

Also what if this happens on the 401.. do you also get a ticket for not being in a car on a major hwy? WTF?

WLS ZMZM
10-24-2007, 06:46 PM
hahah... that would be bootleg.... "im impounding your car for go 50km/h over the limit, if you could please just stand over there... since you no longer have a car your also going to be charged with walking on a 400 series hwy"

Just for everyone's information I was driving back to London on Sunday, saw at least 4 tow trucks on the 407 with at least 3 OPP's scoping it out. This was just before the exit to the airport. I saw a Audi A6 pulled over, not sure if it was getting towed though.
But they're pretty serious with this new law.

You can try to spit in my face. Car is not stock either.

No I am not 2 or else I would not have a car.

I wouldn't laugh if a speeder got caught as 99% of people get caught for speeding. There is a speed trap outside of my work and every time I come outside, they have somebody new. I always think of putting a sign up of speed trap ahead. I would only laugh if they pulled over somebody for doing 90 in the fast lane!

:AH

P.S. I said what I said because he was laughing at somebody being pulled over not because he is stock

Go back into hiding dude. No one likes dealing with an "internet bully."

I was trying to make a point about your spitting comment , so I wrote a comment just as absurd --- "spitting in your face because your car is stock"

Maybe I should write a coles notes for all my comments, so you slow folk can keep up.

Make me go back into hiding. Your missing the point. You think you own this forum or something. I can be here and post where I want about what I want. Just because you can't handle a little internet arguements, doesn't mean I have to leave.

I think the op is halfwit for laughing at other peoples misery, (lets laugh at people who claim bankruptcy') and then his b/f (you) comes running to his aid.

I never said anything about spitting in his face for having a stock car, so go take English as a 2nd language again and re-read my post.

In fact no one laughed at least to the point of your post

I honestly don't think you have any right telling people to take English classes.

If you want to be so specific:

1. 'Your' is possessive and therefore incorrectly used in that sentence. What you wanted should be 'You're' which is the shortened "You are".

2. It's spelled arguments not arguements.

3. It's half-wit, with the dash to replace 'of'. Lets should be Let's. Peoples should be people's. etc etc etc.

Bottom line is, I find you attacks very immature and low. You seem to be the one unable to handle an internet argument, since you resorted so quick to personally attacks. What does chinsterr's boyfriend have to do with anything? Your initial comment was also pretty blatant; I'd really like to see you spit on someone's face for any reason, and not get your face kicked in.

Ok, people like me? Oh you mean people who don't laugh at other peoples misery's, yes I totally understand.

Btw, what program are you in? Very interested to know which is one of the hardest programs in Canada.

I am acting my age by not laughing at people when they get speeding tickets. lol You want to e-fight? How brilliant!

I can say what I want, it's a free country. BTW, I said English as a second language!

1. Good catch, want to be my tutor? You seem smart!

2. It's not arguements. It's "arguments." accroding to firefox spell checker and dictionary.com But it might be on of this is how you spell it in Canada words.

3. Again, you seem smart, want to come help me learn proper english?

You might find my attacks very immature and low but I don't really care. I am not setting out to get everybody to hate me but I do speak my mind and if you don't like it, there is the log out button, I am sure there is an ignore button somewhere also. I am not even upset at all, just find it funny how defensive some people get on the internet. Chinsteers boyfriend has nothing to do with anything, I just put it out there. I am pretty sure I could spit in some peoples face without any repercussions but yes a majority of people would freak out and want to fight. So you point of the spiting in peoples face is?

lol I guess this is my last post in this thread. I understand some people here are young and get these silly ideas in there head about what I mean. I originally said what I did because the OP was laughing as I have said before, he has modified his post so I cannot prove anything.

Well good day all !!
