Default 11 exotic sports cars impounded following suspected street-racing

Crazy.

"RCMP have more than $2 million worth of luxury vehicles in their possession after busting more than a dozen drivers for speeding and dangerous driving Wednesday.

A convoy of expensive cars, including Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Mercedes, an Aston Martin, Audis and a Nissan R series, were racing through the Massey Tunnel on Highway 99 at speeds up to 200 km/hour Wednesday afternoon."

WTF? Cars are impounded for only a week and $192 fine each? That's nothing for those rich kids. Around here you lose your license and your car, and in exchange get free room and board.

Morons! That is what happens when you do that during the day. Why couldn't they wait for the night time and race in an industrial area.

Under 22 and driving a high end exotic, it is safe to say they don't have to work a day in their entire life.

Mind you vehicle sales tax in Canada is quite a bit higher then the U.S.

Their insurance is already high. It will probably go even higher because of this.

A teenager with learner permit driving a Ferrari 599, you think they care about insurance rate?

The only thing they care about is daddy taking the Ferrari away, which will not happen.

Most filthy rich kids, even after they kill someone doing something stupid, are still racing in exotic cars. This is just a $200 fine, they are all laughing their *** off and jump into their other exotic cars and street race some more, on the same day.

If I were the parent and have the means, I would never ever buy my kid an exotic car.

I still remember the accident posted here couple year ago, a 18 years girl crashed and killed in her 911 turbo. Sad.

If I have the means, I would buy my kid an exotic car, but reprogrammed the ECU to limit the engine power to 200 hp and top speed to 60 mph

They can look cool but can't speed to hurt anyone.

Yep, that's another way.
