Default CAR FORUM busts hit and run RSX . . .



Forum busts hit and run RSX

Posted Mar 12th 2007 3:28PM

Crashing into someone and speeding away is a bad idea in any case, but with the internet shrinking the globe, it's especially dumb now.
Members of Canada's Beyond.ca automotive forums came to the rescue of a Mercedes driver that absorbed the kinetic energy these young knuckleheads didn't manage to scrub off in time.
A quick thinking forum member just happened to be right there with his DSLR and monster lens and snapped several nice, clear pictures of these jerks zipping away from the scene.
Beyond.ca member three33 created a post asking others to be on the lookout for a silver RSX that'd cracked up his buddy's car. In a masterstroke of serendipity, fellow forum member CalgaryDave (whose pix show up on Beyond as his friend TypeS - long story, CLICK HERE for more details) was just a little further back.
Thinking quickly, CalgaryDave hopped out into the street and captured incriminating evidence that removes any chance of lying your way out of it. PWNED. Don't mess with the internet .

You don't carry a camera everywhere? Man, there's a bunch of cheap digitals out there, or you can just use your camera phone.

LMAO, that is just funny stuff there. The expression on the kids face as he was driving away-too bad he could not see the camera with the resulting expression from that.

I hope these jerks get nailed, too, but those pictures won't mean much, and they won't be able to do much tracing, if the car had ( or has now ) stolen plates. And body damage like that can be easily altered in an effort to disguise it, even wothout a body shop, if you know what you are doing.

A quick trip to the barber and a week or two worth of beard growth will also take care of the driver's looks.
