The link works. You have to watch the little advertisment first. It's about 15 seconds or so.

The cars being crushed weren't just involved in street races. They were built from stolen parts.

Good, crush them. Little thieving *******s.

Plus, they were those little rice burners and we all know what kinds of punks those guys are and how they feel that they own the street. Now they can own the street while riding a bike.

Excellent idea! The only way it would be better is if the guys were forced to run the controls and crush there own cars. That would add some insult to injury!!

I love it! I hate those dang cars and the little ***** that drive them. My employee just picked up an Audi S4, pretty well smokes anything out there, I like watching him destroy those little honda turds. Of course he has all the goodies, but thats for a different forum. Roll on black smoke, roll on...

After reading Powerstoke's signature, I wanted to be clear, when I smoke a rice burner, it is normally because my tail pipe is at their window

I don't like the government confiscating property and damaging it. Especially for doing something that pretty much everyone of us strives to do (or already have done)with our trucks. You see them crushing those ricers but you know they are doing it to Mustangs and even Ford trucks.....

I dont know the history behind what is happening out there, were they aware of this when they raced? It's like the drunk driving laws here in Mi, third time, cars is gone and for auction. There is a warning. I dont agree with it, I dont agree with the car crushing, but I also know driving is a priviliage, not a right, there isnt much ground to stand on. When I raced, I took it to the expressway, or 26mile rd, I found a place with no traffic. I know kids now have no place to go and screw around anymore.. I dont have the answer.

I think that is the reason they are able to get away with crushing the cars. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea. I hate thieves and its nice to see when one gets their comeupits.

Otherwise, they would be able to fight the crushing.

My buddy got caught racing a while back (in his 1500 no less). He spent a night in jail and the truck spent a week. Man his wrecker fees were expensive!! The judge told him next time, he will loose his license for 6 months and on strike 3- permanently!

I agree that we probably all have done it, in fact when I was 17 I drove my Mustang 5.0 to Montana, 2 states away, where at the time there was no real speed limit, something about "whatever is reasonable and prudent". Well that to a 17 year old in a Mustang ment as fast as my car would go. That was 10 years ago, and in Montana. There are so many people around thse days that if you lost control it would be so easy to hurt someone. I know we are all pretty good at the stoplight to stoplight stuff but even that is dangerous at times. The fact that they showed those ricers being crushed just made me feel good beacause I dont like them, no matter how many goodies they have. There is a fair amount of profiling going on when discussing ricers and the type of drivers they have, but profiling in that case seems to work. Stolen cars, stolen parts, 13 people killed this year alone... Something has to be done.
