aftermarket wheels aren't illegal in California, right? mother****ers...
Eh, I take that back. I think they were just impounding them before...
so they didnt actually catch him street racing though. just he had modified his car to what appeared to be used for street racing. i think that law is really ****ed up.
exactly why i will never live in cali

WOW
Kid you're guilty of street racing b/c you tinkered with your car. I think modifying cars keeps a lot of kids out of trouble, just look at the decline of street gangs as a result of kids getting hobbies

That is stupid as hail.
In a way. But at the same time, it gives a lot of kids a different avenue to get in trouble on with. People slap an intake on a Honda and thing they're Mario Andretti and start their racing every other car on the road.
Lolol. Hopefully, and I'm sure it is, that was sarcasm. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
pishposh..... DIAF california break off from american you backasswards state! modifying... pssh.... poor B18C....
Stupidity rules all.
so he swapped out an engine for something slightly faster when stock GT 500 come 500 hp.. way to cracc down cali
i believe they crushed it because it had stolen parts... the stamps had been ground off. lots of stolen parts in cali..... poor kid couldnt have his rims back cause daddy said "no"
kill you
How the fudge can you tell if they have stolen parts? Dumbasses.
Watch and you show them the recepit of all the parts you bought and there gonna deem it stolen.
damn that sux.. not to self do not move to cali..go back to jersey..
"Once Sung was stopped, they saw other signs of illegal street racing, including a fiberglass hood and a sway bar on the back of the car."
*sarcasam*... yep, sway bars are side effects of illegal racing... they just pop up out of nowhere on your car after a race."
well, if i had a sway bar or the back of my car.... i'd be worried... so, they just pop up anywhere?
hmm, so they can crush modified hondas because they assume we're street racing, but what about the souped up foxbodies and camaros and old school vettes and mustangs?

Once Sung was stopped, they saw other signs of illegal street racing, including a fiberglass hood and a sway bar on the back of the car, said Officer Brian Nystedt. A peek under the hood revealed the vehicle identification number had been chipped off the transmission, which is a sure sign of a stolen part, Nystedt added.
since when does that mean you street race?
<---Click it.
Lol @ neg camber comment. They crushed it because he had stolen parts, period. I believe the Author just added in the street racing part to spice up the article.
Corvettes have fiberglass hoods and swaybars STOCK that why they are unbeatbale on the streets.
I can tell most people didnt "read" the article before they posted!!!
+1 for the justice system!!!
-1 for stolen parts!!!

So they managed to catch one guy with stolen parts. Good job. Now, how many cars with legally purchased parts have they crushed under their asanine laws?
my thoughts exactly
Theres no proof of stolen parts.
His transmission was missing a vin number, so what, JDM swaps DONT HAVE VINs.
Even if he RECEIVED stolen parts, that shouldnt be grounds for him having his car CRUSHED. lotta good that did to people that had their stuff stolen

Wasn't just missing according to the story, it was chipped off. So JDM trannies come with the place where the vin goes already chipped off? Interesting.
You don't accidently buy something like an engine or tranny that was stolen in a place where theft of such parts like that is highly prevelant. (sp?) Obviously, he could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he bought the parts from a legit source. Possesion is 9/10's of the law. He got pulled over for a modified exhaust, which over there happens all the time, and it snowballed from there.Even if he RECEIVED stolen parts, that shouldnt be grounds for him having his car CRUSHED. lotta good that did to people that had their stuff stolen
As for the cops saying he's a street racer, lets be honest now, he did not put all those parts on the car to make the car slower. If thousands of other ppl run around causing accidents and racing with parts and cars much like that kid, why is unfair for them to assume he's one of them? I did not mod my srt when I had it cause I wanted better gas milege, I did it so I could be faster. I think the kid got off easy, a crushed car hurts for a little while, felonys ruin lives.
So stereotyping is okay now? Just because I have an exhaust and spoiler on my Yaris I'm a street racer? Or because I had an intake on my MSM I was a street racer? It's 100% presumption and that's bullsh*t no matter how you cut it. I'm Asian, so I guess I play Starcraft all day and work on a shrimp boat too.
Now I'm all for catching street racers, but to assume that he's a street racer just because of parts is stupid.
Strong point. The money parted out from the car could be used to beef up their street racing task force or some other good cause.
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?

Ya but you can't charge someone on simple suspicion alone, just because he has parts to make his car perform better doesn't mean he's guilty of committing a crime. That's like charging someone with murder because they walked into a room with a knife, the mother ****** could have just been cooking.
And ya, "chipped off" sounds like some sketch ****. Chances are some poor guy worked his ass off for that swap, only to have a couple of spineless ****s jack his car, strip it, and sell the parts for cheap.
