In response to the street racing/crushing thread, a thought came to me:

Many of us drive modified Porsches. They're lowered. They have large wheels/tires, roll bars, loud exhausts, body kits.

Has anyone here with a modified Porsche been stopped by the police with the suspicion they were street racing?

And with that, has anyone had their Porsche impounded with the threat of the car being "crushed" while also being suspected of being involved in an illegal street race?

The looks from cruising cops, most of them bordering on admonishment, that I've received while in my car - which isn't at all that "blinged out," has lately been of concern.

I don't know -- maybe I'm being paranoid. But in this world of slammed Civics with coffee can mufflers, among a plethora of other similar cars, not to mention cops quick to make snap-judgments about ALL cars that have been modified in some fashion, what is to differentiate our cars from theirs - unless, of course, some of us truly are heading to an illegal street race.
