now I want a bullet proof toilet...

back to the main thread. I don't understand why the dealership has it back. the cops can't seize it just because it fails the MVA. all they can do is give it a box1 VI and tow it to the bacon's driveway. at which point it's still bacons and he's still required to make payments on it.

Like what johny said, his family might be worth quite a few coin and spending a bit for their peace of mind is prolly worth $100k.

Then again, on a leased car.. hmmm DD? hehe

"Car dealer on hook for illegally armoured BMW"

Love how the headline suggests it's illegal for a car to be armoured, and not because it's overweight. Reporting at its best! :rolleyes:

If it's a lease, it belongs to the leasing party at all times, unless the car is bought out by the driver. It can be reposessed at any time if payments are missed. (which is probably what happened, Totem used to repo cars & trucks ALL THE TIME from gang members)

Also, there's probably some law that allows for the reposession or seizure of "proceeds of crime" like drug money, weapons, cars, etc etc etc..

And the point about the bullet proof glass being non-DOT and therefore illegal is also true.

It was the "Tony Soprano Special Edition"?. It had been illegally modified with non-approved parts & was overweight. I also read somewhere that the VIN # was missing or not attached/visible. All illegal under the MVA. Use any legal tool possible to get these out of circulation.

four star auto lease knows very well who they are leasing to. they are shady and make plenty of money leasing these cars. trust me they made money on this deal they aren't on the hook for anything.
