a rumour around in our area that a yellow evo was cought street racing 3 nights ago. i seen these guy around. well... let me see.... car is going to be impounded for 10 days as the sources said, license suspended for a year, 6 months probation, $10,000 to get the car out. well that's all i've heard probably there's more to it. STAY OUT OF STREET RACING, if u don't want to see your evo in an impound lot and dish out a lot of cash to get it back, and suffer the consequenses. it's these kind of stupidity that gets u in the end but at the same time i also feel sorry for that guy

 

OH DAMN THAT SUCKS!!! Thats a valuable lesson for me..........

 

thought they destroy your car now for street racing? or is that only cali?

 

i think thats second or third offense here in cali...could be wrong though

 

it would really suck if we find out he was just a racing a ricer......

 

last time I check, the rule still stands, if they catch you street racing they crush your car, no 2nd, 3rd or 4th offense. There cracking down hard here in so cal. Arnold just gave city like ontario, sacramento, san dieog, los angeles 5million dollars to help aid on street racing. I mean the fact crime is rapid here, they rather focus on street racing

 

Take it to the TRACK!!! Willow Springs is a one hour drive from L.A. and a day at the track will cost you $150 or less.

 

They are really cracking down everywhere on street racing, I wish they would build more tracks for everyone.

 

Why don't the police use that 5 million to give kids a legit place to race? Like an old air strip or something similar. Doesn't have to be anything with a christmas tree and slips, could just be heads up, because it's heads up in the street anyway.

Of course instead they would rather impound your car and give you a fine, or send you to jail.

 

Well they make more money catching all these street racers, duh.

What i never understood was, Insurance companies basically endorse street racing by saying if you take your car to the track we wont cover you.

 

I'm still confused how the local governments can confiscate and destroy private property. Are they using some sort of weird eminent domain corollary?

 

You know what no matter what you say people are still going to do it.

 

yeah its been going on since cars were made....its almost a fact of life.

 

Something to the effect (though I don't know the exact terminology) of being a tool of a crime. They can impound your car if you buy or sell drugs from it as well.

 

Yeah they can impound it, not crush it...That's a little extreme from my point of view. I would like to know the law as well.
