Imagine spending 10 years of your life building your dream car, just to have it all taken away from you in a moment... For Jake, we made this a reality!
Any modified car (or stock sports car) owner in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, Canada is very familiar with the VI fiasco that's been making it increasingly difficult to comfortably enjoy a nice drive. For those who aren't from around here, a VI is short for "Vehicle Inspection" which is where the police deem your car a menace to public safety. The worst case scenario is a "Box 1", where your car is blacklisted and banished to the shadow realm (a licensed shop) until it is essentially returned to stock and passes a full safety inspection. Luckily for Jake, this was just a prank that presented itself during a video shoot with his car.
On Saturday morning, we begged Jake to let us shoot a video on his JZX90. We thought it was so over when he told us he was busy all day, but we were so back when he said that he'd be happy to throw us the keys and let us take the car for the day. When we got to the shop, there was a police officer in the lot. Turns out there had been an illegally parked car on the street for months that was getting towed, but the officer was more than happy to help us set up this prank. Hopefully this spin-off episode of "Scared Straight" will encourage Jake to fix his soggy headlight.
We also got some fun goodies in the mail, like scooter parts and a new front lip for the G35 drift car. All in all, a great weekend and everything is coming together for a fantastic summer.
Speaking of summer... we have some really cool news that we can't wait to share with you soon, so stay tuned for that.
As always, thank you for reading and hopefully you enjoy the video.
We'll see you next week.
Don't forget to break the rules, and enjoy!
