Ganthrithor,

There are quite a few outside city limits, but the heat is a bit too serious this year. See, we have a law where any citation of 'excessive speed' comes with an automatic vehicle impound. If your vehicle is high value enough, they will even sell it off.

Oh, and they run helicopters all day long to try and catch speeders...

Over the top right? Not a fun place to be a car enthusiast.

I'm sure you have way better roads and probably more manageable heat in Colorado.
Speed limits in the Vancouver area were UBER low, from what I remember, so having a little fun = lots of trouble. I did a trip out to the west side of Vancouver Island (way out of town, I realize) a few years ago, and was having some fun on the twisty highway coming back, and would occasionally squint at my MPH speedo and do the math to find I was doing double the KPH limit without meaning to. I wonder if they'd have impounded a car from another country
