street racing is a big thing over there, and they have to find a way to cut it down... it ends up with alot of innocent people dead and hurt.

these are the best two paragraphs from this article...

"Hoang said he was caught late last year racing his prized car, on which he spent at least $10,000 to get into top shape. The 350-horsepower engine topped out at 160 mph, Hoang said, swearing it could beat a Corvette or even a Ferrari.

When police popped open the hood, Hoang said, they found a stolen transmission. Hoang flashed a receipt for the transmission he bought from his father who runs an auto shop and doubted the item was hot."


hillarious...

cops have to blame thing on those deaths, why not street racing. just think how many ppl crach everyday b/c cell phones, food, crying babies, puting on make-up, not paying attention, speeding and etc.... but they knw that they cant stop those ppl so they go after teens and street racing, wtf! im not saying that racing isnt dangerous, but when i race, i'm ALWAYS paying more attention. its just not fair to point at one thing and let the others go.

PS i dont street race, i race at gateway international speedway.

I have to admit I'm pretty solid conservative and am mostly a strong supporter of police and law enforcement in general (at least when they are not enforcing Marxist laws that contradict the will and intent of our founding fathers and Constitution) but crush my **** and it's on... I would buy the biggest, nastiest, rusted up $200 full sized junk truck I could find just to smash it into anything the town or their representatives own so I could walk away feeling a little better...

Seen it, I love the guy's reaction, "Why don't they just sell the car and give the money to charity?"
