    Now I'm all for catching street racers, but to assume that he's a street racer just because of parts is stupid.

    but see, he did not get busted for being a street racer. The article makes it seem that way, but there are legit reasons for him being stopped, arested and the car crushed. Not because he's a street racer. I've got a intake and pulley on my mini, no having mods doesn't make you a street racer, but when you do things that draw attention to yourself like that, you have to know it's gonna happen. Like it or not man, I'm sure you've seen some modded civic (or other car)out there on the road and thought something about them racing. Don't want to be labeled a street racer, don't drive a car with mods that ppl associate with it. Simple as that. Sterotyping happens everyday, to damn near everyone. Part of life. You do it, I do it, everyone has done it at one point in time. Maybe not about street racing, but other things. no sense in crying about how unfair it is. ( not saying your crying about it, just talking in general) **** man, I'm mexican and yet how many stereotypes are running the boards about mexicans?
