                                 SCHEDULE 13D/A

         This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D statement (the "Schedule") is
filed on behalf of Regency Affiliates, Inc. ("Regency") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Speed.com, Inc. ("Speed.com") as the reporting persons hereunder,
and amends the Schedule 13D/A filed by the reporting persons on August 11, 1999,
which reported on events of August 2 and 4, 1999.


ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This Schedule relates to the voting common stock, $0.01 par value, of

executive offices at 3137 Grandview Highway, Vancouver, BC V5M 2E9.


ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

          The principal business and principal offices of both Speed.com and

         The transaction described herein was undertaken for the purpose of
acquiring control of GlasAire.

         Pursuant to the instructions for items (a) through (j) of Item 4,

<PAGE>   4



                  (a) As set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule, Regency has
         acquired 932,515 shares of Glas-Aire's $.01 p.v. common stock. Regency
         and Speed.com are considering the acquisition of additional securities
         of Glas-Aire, the issuer, but have no present plans or proposals to do
         so.

                  (b) Regency and Speed.com are considering, but have no present
         plans or proposals to merge Speed.com with or into Glas-Aire, or effect
         a liquidation or reorganization of Glas-Aire or any of its
         subsidiaries. Regency and Speed.com are considering, but have no
         present plans or proposals to cause Glas-Aire to enter into
         extraordinary corporate transactions such as mergers in order to effect
         the acquisition of operating companies of Glas-Aire.

                  (c) Regency and Speed.com may consider, but have no present
         plans or proposals to cause a sale or transfer of a material amount of
         assets of Glas-Aire or any of its subsidiaries.

                  (d) Speed.com plans to exercise its voting rights to control
         and elect a majority of the members of Glas-Aire's Board of Directors.
         On April 16, 1999, Speed.com designated two (2) persons to fill
         vacancies on the seven (7) member Board of Directors of Glas-Aire.
         Speed.com appointed William R. Ponsoldt, Sr. and Marc Baldinger to fill
         the vacancies until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
         Speed.com plans and intends on naming three (3) additional directors to
         fill vacancies on the seven (7) member Board of Directors of Glas-Aire.
         On April 16, 1999, Speed.com designated Craig R. Grossman and Todd
         Garrett to fill two of the remaining three vacancies, subject to the
         provisions of Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
         Rule 14f-1 thereunder.

                  (e) Regency and Speed.com may consider, but have no present
         plans or proposals to cause a material change in the capitalization of
         Glas-Aire. Regency and Speed.com intend to alter the dividend policy of
         Glas-Aire by exerting their influence against the declaration and
         payment of dividends.

                  (f) Regency and Speed.com may consider, but have no present
         plans or proposals to make any other material change to the business or
         corporate structure of Glas-Aire.

                  (g) Regency and Speed.com may consider, but have no present
         plans or proposals to change Glas-Aire's charter, bylaws or instruments
         corresponding thereto or to take other actions that impede the
         acquisition of control of Glas-Aire by any person.

                  (h) Regency and Speed.com may consider, but have no present
         plans or proposals for causing the common stock of Glas-Aire to be
         delisted from NASDAQ.

         becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
         12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                  (j) Except as set forth above, neither Speed.com nor any
