“Maybe these street racers should do something productive with their time. Instead of wasting $10,000 on mAd tyTe JDM yo parts, they should put $10,000 towards an education. This would eliminated the waste of money on a Honda (notice the cars in the picture…. of course, who else?) and would enable them to be able to spell. I would feel uncomfortable watching a race where the driver is unable to spell “friends,” “feel” and instead of saying “y’all” at least, he would say “yaw.” If it is one’s dream to build a riced-out Honda, then he or she has his or her priorities messed up. Street racing is illegal and dangerous, 1 in 20 people involved in street racing are injured. Cops are not assholes. People like you should be locked up or deported. Stop wasting your money on japcrap and get an education. Every time I see a civic pull up next to me, unnecessary wing on the back (note FWD), revving his little 4-banger as the exhaust tone sounds like a fart in a can of Folgers, I laugh at the “str33t raycer 4 lyfe, yo. Type R!” Race track, not street.

”

Wow. First of all because we race does not mean we can’t spell or never went to school. Secondly you are just plain retarded if you think every person who races talks like that. Also just because we are not rich and spoiled like your dumbass or playing video games all day long and saving all your money to buy more video games doesnt mean we all have “unneccesary wings”. If racing at the track was free, I would go. Cops have no right to be crushing cars. Honda or not. Getting pulled over for no license plate in the front is one thing but getting a ticket for it instead of a warning because your jealous of my lowered air intake headers, camgears, exhaust and rims on my talon is another.

I have been reading most of these comments and i agree with most and other i dont.
I agree about them selling the cars instead of crushing them. Would be better for the state and also would help other things in example, economy maybe.
As for everyone who says its okay to crush a ricer but not a muscle car, heres what i have to say to you fools. A ricer is just as good as a muscle car and most likely better in many ways. I own both a tuner and a muscle but im just saying they are equal so stfu.
As for street racing, i do both on the track and on the streets but what we do is on our way we will stop and pick up the construction signs and close the streets of when we race.
Never pulling over for cops is something we already do. If they crushed my car, i would make sure that every inch of that place is destroyed so it wont be able to crush any more cars. Im from California and i sure as he11 dont support them.
So thats what i say. Dont like it then i dont really care.

ok so its cool to crush these cars for street racing but yet people kill hundreds of people a year DRUNK DRIVING? Crush there fucking cars! but you wont see that happen, its not worth losing the money…. more money in fees and such in drunk driving then street racing! if they want to cut down on street racing, open tracks 24/7 and make them free! but its not worth the cost vs making money off tickets, things are not going to change, people are going to bitch and moan and not do a damn thing! grow up all of you!!

This is bullshit. they should attleast sell the parts and make money to put it towards something. even if you crush the car sell the rims motor and use the parts for people whole are less fornate to have these things and maybe people with more repsoblity can have the cars. Crushing the car is retard and its showening nothing cali. And i will always rip around on the streets.

Custom rides a hobby to take away such hobby from someone is wrong. Illegal street racing is wrong but to ban and have police harrass the people that cruise with them on the streets is wrong it should be marked against the law for police that proceed not to care and harass these people anyways. If a vehicle is modified to the owners liking then let it be now they have cops harassing people for where they live what they drive .

you tards that advocate no drugs and gang related deaths are just helping the fucking problem by asking them to crush street racer cars. Street racing and tuning is a way of bonding for them, something to turn their attention to rather than drugs and killing each other with guns. If you are willing to advocate legislation to crush the cars, then please dont you dare fucking complain about drug problems or gang problems. so stop being hypocrites.
oh yeah if someone you know has died from a street race as a bystander or something, you have by all means the right to blame the tards that drive in a street race who cant drive for their life.
Also youre not helping the problem by just crushing cars, sure you crush one, the tuners are only going to get another one.
one the topic of education; if they really wanted that education they would have gotten it right? They wanted to race, not sit in class its, just because you like doing it, doesnt mean they do.
Lastly, you cant stop it! its human nature to race, we race planes, we compete on the world market, and its only natural we compete our cars. It is, after all, much better than competing the gangs in a neighborhood.

Ok street Racers are not all idiots, I’ll admit a lot are but not all, just like everything else in the world. Idiots are everywhere in everything and thats where the problem is. from 2001 to 2008 only 804 people nationwide were killed from street racing wrecks, that includes drivers, people watching, and people cought in the way. If it wasn’t for street racing there wouldn’t be any racing sports in the world. No Indy, NASCAR, Rally, or any other you can name. As far as crushing the cars they would be better off selling them as track ready cars and not as street legal cars, because lets face it most aren’t. As a former street racer myself I would run knowing my yota was going to be crushed. And yes I have run from the law before after a race. Ive seen people hurt and killed from it, but Ive seen people hurt and killed doing lots of other things. Some towns have come up with alternatives like closeing some streets on Friday and Saturday nights to let racers race without the heat coming for them, I would go to that. Nobody wants to go to a drag strip and pay a $25 entry fee and sit and wait in line to race 2 maybe 3 times down the strip. Indy closes down city streets to race their 1000+ hp cars on the streets, why can’t we do something like that for us street racers. As long as there are cars people are going to race, its human nature. They need to figure a way to work it out with the racers instead of crushing cars, sure we can get more cars but some people put lots of money into some of these cars. Just give us a place to race.

I think it stupid to crush a car. When i got caught street racing i got caught couple months after wards cause someone ratted me out because there was a wreck. and screw you people on here who said buy an education because I do got an education I’m going to University of Northwestern Ohio which is one the best rated automotive schools in the USA. Im taking hi performance and sure i did make a mistake,but if they really want people to stop street racing they need to make a track around here. My car did not get crushed, which i would have hid it anyways because its a BMW that i have spent headaches fixing it and putting performance parts in which i will be taking to the track because im going to be racing for NASA at Mid Ohio, but how ever i did have couple months probation, 30 days house arrest, i had to do community service and pay a shit load of fines. But people who are talking crap on here forget that a lot of guys who street race grow up to be there auto mechanics and with out us you would not have anyone to fix your cars. I’m not against street racing,but if you have a track around you, you have no excuse to street race or if you don’t have a track you should race on country roads which is what i did so less people are harmed.
