Damn, Yo! Hellaflush Rides Declared Illegal in Quebec!
Since I’ve always been a fan of cars that turn and stop and can be driven into a parking lot without a gut wrenching scrape, the whole hellaflush scene has never appealed to me.
That said, I used to work for CarDomain, back when it was a automotive social networking site that covered events, and not a neglected graveyard of poorly aspected car pictures. Back then, high-risers–donks, boxes, bubbles–were hot, and even though they were dangerously high and almost-always using brakes which probably couldn’t stop a tranquilized kitten, I got a huge kick out of those crazy rides. They were just straight hilarious.
So I’m not going to poke too much fun at this recent ruling. Because I’d really rather cops just make decisions regarding custom cars on a case-by-case basis, as most of the cops I’ve dealt with are pretty cool–as long as you aren’t being a dick.
