Street racers
Saw a story that New Westminster police saw two 2005 RX8's racing this weekend, in excess of 150!! 
The black one was caught, but the white one got away. The owner of the black one was 18, had owned the car for only 1 month, got a $450(?) fine, license suspended for 15 days, and car impounded for 48 hours!
I hope it was no one on here! Come on guys - street racing is STUPID!!! Even if you're not afraid of killing yourself, you might be killing your parents (who probably bought you that car!), brother, sister, g/f. Keep it on the track!!!

I don't race anybody anymore. I did when I was younger, generally on a highway out of town.
After having kids, your perspective changes...I don't want to crash into anybody and remove a family member...I also don't want to trash my car. There is a time and place to open the car up but not street racing.

haha more like 100, but still funny.
That area through new west is nasty to drive like an idiot through. A couple of hiddenish entries onto Stewardson from side streets, narrow lanes, and a bit of rough pavement.
There can't be that many White 2005's sold yet in the area, that other guy's so busted.

There was only one cop car, so he couldn't catch both of them. He probably just went after the easier one.
Personally, I hope the superintendant of motor vehicles throws the book at this punk. Maybe then, he'll learn a lesson!
