I can see a Fat A$$ ticket but that is stealing in my opinion... As for someone coming in here and saying some dumb s#@t like don't do it and you won't get caught, you are a liar to say you have never done it yourself and would be inflamed if this happened to you!!

Its legal. They've been doing it for years with drug dealers so why should street racers be any different.

Its the price to pay to street race.

I think it is a good idea actually.
If you break the law, your going to pay the price!

Every time you street race you are putting lives at risk.

Don't street race if you don't wanna lose your car, simple as that.

You know what? That would not happen to me. Put me in a nitro-burning Top Fueler to go get the groceries, and I wouldn't street race. Street racing is dumb and this is just one more proof that you have nothing to win and much to lose when you race on the street.

In Texas, if I remember right, your car can be destroyed by the state if they catch you going over a certain speed. You still have pay it off, however. So don't race on the street.

I guess the moral of the story is to wreck your car when you're being stopped for street racing in Charlotte, NC.

i think itll bring an increase in high speed chases because, less people will stop for fear that they will lose their car.

... continuing to display the same poor decision making skills that led them to street race in the first place, you mean? We don't punish people for doing something dumb for fear they will then go and do something even more dumb? There's a problem with your theory, there, but I can't quite identify it ...

not saying that i wouldnt stop. but if you knew for a fact that your car was gonna become their car compared to the slight possibility that you can out run them. and yes i know you cant outrun the radio but thats neither here nor there

I do agree that racing in traffic or any crowded area is dumb, but taking your possession, that you own, is wrong IMO... Hell if they wanted to, they can take your s@@t for speeding....
