Anti-Modified Car Signage at Movie Theatres?

Anti-Modified Car Signage at Movie Theatres?
As if it hasn't been bad enough for modified car owners over the past few years, now tuners have a new threat altogether. First there was increased police harassment, then tougher emissions laws and even full cancellation of insurance for any car that wasn't left as when rolled off the dealer floor. But now we have truly seen it all!
We received word from our tipsters that a private establishment has now banned modified cars from parking on their property. That's right, a movie theatre chain called Edwards Cinemas (owned by Regal Cinemas) has posted these signs at at least one of their Southern California locations and car enthusiasts everywhere have erupted. The signage was posted on Facebook and the comments section was quickly set ablaze with fired up gearheads opposing the anti-modified car policy.
Posters were suggesting all sort of tactics to counter the new policy ranging from vandalism to outright boycotting of the chain. While we don't condone any of the illegal behavior, this is discrimination and should be treated as such. The possible scenario that some pimple-face $12/hr night manager might have final say in dragging away your slammed vehicle, possibly damaging it and costing you big money to recover it from impound is totally unacceptable. We wonder how these "experts" will judge Harleys, Hotrods or even factory modified cars like say a BMW 335i with BMW Performance upgrades direct from the dealer.
But this is the anti-modified car era we live in and talk about messed up priorities where Edwards Theatres didn't have a sign to turn away felons or registered sex offenders before this one. Click past the jump for a list of theatres your modified car may not still be parked where you left it when you come out of the movie.

This is sort of sad. Then again it was understandable due to the last FnF movie I attended at the Brea Edwards...
I'm glad Irvine Spectrum isn't stupid to pull that off. There is normal parking 10ft from the "Edwards" structure

I've never seen this and it's quite stupid. The people who just rev, burnout, and drive fast in parking structures probably caused this.
But if it's been up for several years already, I don't think it is that heavily enforced. I hear loud cars all the time that are lowered with modified exhaust systems...lol

I was advised by my attorney that a company can not legally tow your car at your expense unless they have the proper permit with the city. Signs that usually have numbers at the bottom of their message are the legit ones.
So if the OP's sign was posted and your car got towed, edwards could not bill you the towing expenses legally. Just a lil FYI...

Good thing i never park in the Edwards Renaissance parking structure in Alhambra, i park in the Rite Aid parking lot right behind the theater. It's less of a walk from the structure and there's usually there's parking.
