Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

jesus i would absolutely lose all self control if i had to watch my car get crushed with everything still in it. if i could pull the parts, not so big a deal. im sure i would go to jail myself after that cause i would probably blow someones house up or go berserk and start sniping motherfuckers. man thats just so shitty.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

HAHAHAHAHA LOL

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

hmmm...sucks to be a dumbass!

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

youve street raced before you fucker, everyone has. you woulda been pissed if your civic got crushed years ago with the bottle still in it, haha....

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

who me????????????? not meeeee! but i tell you.....it would have been neat to see the bottle explode in the car though while its being crushed:D

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

bullshit, i vividly remember talking with you about you racing an integra when you were spraying a 75 shot on the single cam....and yea that would be fuun to watch the bottle explode when its crushed.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

I was watching this on Fox News yesterday, they televised quitea few crushings. One of the crushed was the cleanest best looking hatch I have ever seen. The owner was there watching it too.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

wait...i just noticed that you called me "FUCKER":eek:

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

how can you prove an engine ot tranny is stolen? they all have the same engine codes, or are cops just eve stupider in CA?

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

I'm pretty sure engines and transmission have serial numbers that correspond with the VIN number.

Why do you think people that collect old cars are always talking about a "numbers matching" car? :)

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

yes sir....very true

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

So, instead of giving them back to the owners that reported them stolen, or the insurance companies that had to file the claim, they crush them?

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

you know what im saying....damnnnn...what a waste..i mean is the government that rich?? i coulda swore they were in debt.could be selling parts an shit and using that money for schools ro ANYTHING...but no...the government is ballin...

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

This isn't about money for the government, this is about sending a clear message and trying to deter people. Sure, I guess they could sell the parts that were worth something, but that takes away from the impact of what they're trying to say. Plus, the liability involved with gov't selling used performance parts is another facet..

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

And not to be outdone by Cali, Canada decides to go one step further in their quest for supreme socialist deuchebaggery..

WOOOOOHOOOO


OPP cracking down!!!

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

That mostly just proves if it is an all original car or not. All original cars have a higher value. Not really if it has a stolen engine or not.

PS - I might have just completely missed your point and your statement went straight over my head :dunno:

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

How is this going to stop street racing....Ok you destroy my current car, what's going to stop my from buying something else and racing that?

I say cut off their cut off their right foot.

Why target only street racers? Why not drunk drivers?....you get caught drinking and driving...then vehicle should be crushed.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

These guys werent even caught street racing though. This is stupid.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

They are being punished because they modified their cars.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

lolol

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

They should crush all of the rusty body, shackled up, big n' little tired, American Racing wheeled 80s Camaros that roam the streets too.. They could claim bad taste and street racing. Double whammy for doing nothing wrong.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

if i had a car worth 5k or more along with all the work put into the car,i would cry to see it crushed.thats 5k you can never get back

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

Well, when you race on the streets, you have to know what the chances are, because I guarentee before you floor it or give it the go, you look around for cops. So you know your in the wrong, but it does suck the consequences are so severe, but I guess its better than death!

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

sux

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

[quote]Zavala, who admits he has been involved in street racing, estimates he and his mother spent about $10,000 on improvements to his car.[/]

I wonder who cried more? lololol

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

100 % correct i use to do that when i would "race" now i got a truck and i be slow.:(

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

Yeah, except these guys were not street racing. They were just suspects of it. I thought we were innocent until proven guilty.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

Your cool.

Sucks that it happens, although its unfair. I don't think people should get slap on the wrists, but I think crushing cars are extreme.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

i would bust a nut on the cops door handle every night after my car was crushed, just because it make me happy time!

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

No you wouldnt.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

I lived in so-cal for years
all the stricter laws do is make everyone run

everyone runs....if your girlfriend is watching in her ford ranger, you can bet your ass she is running too.





also, you can have your car srushed for having a jdm or illeagly (emissions) modified car.
everthing has to have a CARB sticker or its hot.
jdm engine? car crushed or sezed.
non carb turbo kit? the same.
non-carb exhaust? 2700$ ticket
we all kept all of our stock parts , and had stock engines in the garage if we got our hoods popped so we could swap it all back to pass the state ref.

it sucks. You really need to have deep pockets to even modify a street car in cali because carb parts are so expensive. So everyone just runs.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

All of that and the scene is still crazy huge there.

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

cops have been ridiculous in the valley lately...they have been posting up to get small tickets here and there such as tint or exhaust, hell a guy next to me was doing 3mph over and got lit up...must be an end of the month thing

Re: California Cracks Down on Illegal Street Racing
 

Yeah, they're going to sell parts they deem illegal, so the buyers can have illegal modifications on their car. That would make the government super smart huh?
Haha, very true. So many times I would go to the runs in my Camry, just because I was so scared I'd get pulled over just for being in the area. But like you said, when the cops came, everyone ran. Whether you were driving a Toyota Supra, or a Toyota Camry. That was back in '01 though.
...damn I miss Cali... :(
