That's what you get for being dinks on public roads. I would like to know how they all could afford these things though.

lets see ummmm... daddy? everyone and their mother has seen this story! i hope if any of these kids roll up to meets everyone tells them to go home to their parents if they want respect for their 100,000 dollar rides fresh off the lot. no respect in my opinion.

^^agreed^^. Although I did have a friend when I lived in Kelowna years ago who was a student from Singapore that rolled in a brand new 911TT (purchesed after they sent his new R34 GTR back from the docks) and an insane Mitsu for winter driving.
Had more money then you could imagine but was the nicest, most generous guy you could meet.

That article doesn't give away nearly all the information. Before we judge these people, let's look at the facts:

random supercunt calls the police because she sees young foreigners driving nicer cars than she can afford.
25 KM away from where the supposed incident happened, cars get pulled over and impounded with zero evidence that anything happened. There were no accidents, nobody got hurt, no property damage, nothing.

And you guys applaud this? This seems ridiculous to me. I don't want to live in a world where the police can take my stuff away because some random made a phone call. I don't know the full story, just what I've read and watched on the internet news so we don't know what really happened, but if it's what it looks like in those articles, I hope they all get off scott free in court and the cops think twice the next time they impound cars for no reason. I'm not familiar with BC laws but I doubt this was even legal. Good luck getting fines to stick in court with no witnesses.

It actually sorta blows my mind that car communities these days don't try and stick together or help each other out, and instead just cast stones upon those unlucky enough to get hassled for something that should be legal in the first place.

198 bucks and cars impounded for a week ???
they're laughing,,, IMO they got off pretty darn easy...

**kengeroo** · 09-02-2011, 12:38 PM

...please, ...a blind man could piece together that these punks were racing...

... give your head a shake,, they should have their driving privelages taken away for years..

...you probably wouldn't have this opinion if you knew someone that was an innocent victim of street racing...

your sig is perfect for this convo, cause I'd say exactly that if I were these kids lol. Based upon the fine, I'd have to say that these kids were not busted in the act, which needs to happen. So regardless of how I feel about racing (strongly against btw...), I'm not about to let police decide they can "piece together" a case to say I was racing based upon some worried phone calls and sell my car.

Do I think they were racing? Yes of course they were, but imagine an officer saying that, "I think these kids were racing, so were selling your car and you can't drive for a year"... Not a good situation. Such is the life of not living in a police state... No matter how you feel about stuff like this you cant let police just decide.

In the skyline community we complain about tickets such as "loud exhaust", "ride to low", "window tint" etc... Where is your empirical evidence of such violations? This is the argument we go to. This is the same thing, only on a larger scale. If you wanna give them a "racing" sentence you better have an officer on scene that saw "racing".

I know a Tai student, he just bought a porshe boxter, shipped it here, done some of the most gayest "dounts" in history(poor car he has no skill) now 3 weeks later he parks it and puts it up for sale. Now he has a masaritti grand T with some crazy v-12 ferri engine with twin turbos!!!! He simply said the boxter was not to his liking..... When he sells the boxter he's getting the Masi sent up. Not to mention his boxter showed up in a Russian An-124 cargo plane (second largest plane itw)

Also he had a hybusa impounded from him, he just bought another one.

He told me his parents run a bunch of casinos in china(illegally),
But he is super nice and I would trust him with my prized goat Gertrude!

Its crazy what money some ppl have at their disposal, just imagine the sweet skyline you could have for that kinda mula!
