Naw. If they were crushing Lotus Elise's or Mini Coopers. I would be sad.

I saw this last night on Autoblog.

Not really. If your going to ILLEGALLY street race, then have the sense to NOT get caught ... and what's up with the dude with the stolen transmission?

Yeah, they deserved it.

[Head Wreck]

if your gonna race.

attend a track day or open day at the local race track

[Shade Everdark]

A pity that they don't auction them off. I imagine they could find some slightly older motorists who'd like those cars and wouldn't be dumb enough to street race.

But I'm sure destroying them is really the most sensible solution [/snark]

Thank god it's Cali and not here, that's all I have to say.

I would not shed a tear if all the steroided hondas of the world died an untimely death

Serves them right for putting all the money they have into a simple car to race around. I remember seeing a few of these cars over in Louisville that were zipping in and out of traffic. I felt like moving the truck into one of their lanes so they could ram the back of my trailer.

[creatureofthenyte]

well,

if you are on a two lane road/highway,

and you see them coming behind you,

just pull up alongside someone who is doing the speed limit.

then the buttnuggets can't fly by, and have nowhere to go.

Ive done this before, and its legal, and highly amusing.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Actually. it's not. You can get a ticket for obstructing traffic and/or causing a road hazzard. If everyone on the road is going 40mph over the speed limit and you are doing the speed limit. You can get the same tickets.

As for the cars, they know the risks and should be willing to pay the price. As for crushing them.. well.. these things are usually highly modified and as marc can attest... if they are actually racing these cars the engines are going to take a great deal of time and moeny to get back to a good running condition. Race engines break, alot. Bolts loosen at the high revs and torques... gaskets blow.. heads warp fromt he heat... the list goes on... These guys put all thier cash into them because they break.
