      Not at all.

      I'd rather see exotics you know are being busted in Toronto being crushed other than flamboyant Civic's owned by kids.

              I don't condone street racing but there's a thin line. Anyone driving a modified car could potentially be targeted. If two cars are speeding, like in a caravan perhaps? could they both be stopped and have their cars impounded for "street racing?" I would think that fines, suspended licenses and having their cars impounded would be enough. I wonder if they (the authorities) exhausted all options prior to crushing their cars. These guys must have been repeat offenders who just don't give a shit and won't stop racing. Then again, if they are that deep into racing they will probably built another car.

                Although the cars that was crashed, looked like they was just ebay specials. So probably not serious street racers, just dumb kids.

                  The worst to me is that story of the 2 skylines that got crushed. At least ship em back to Japan or make him pay fines out the ass and not drive them again.

                      It says they were crushed due to having stolen parts installed. Either way no skin off my back. Make a couple of more drug dealing, using, and gangbanging individuals take the bus tomorow. I'm really not a crotchety old man, I just sound like it.

                      Keep the racing on the track. I'm not talking doing a highway pull, but actual street racing.

                        What if you are racing your car but you still have car payments? I guess it would a good way to get out of a car payment. "Hello insurance? Yeah my car got crushed so it's totalled."

                        I really don't think they crush people's cars.. at least cars that are worth something. So next time you steal something they ar going to cut off your hand?

                          The only thing I think of when I watch those cars being crushed is how much more money could be made by selling the wheels and other spendy bits.

                          If the parts were stolen, shouldn't they at least attempt to offer the parts back to the people who they were stolen from? Fat chance I know, but it seems like that would be truer justice than just destroying them.

                            I just scrapped a parts car for $260 per metric ton.

                              I winced a bit when I saw the first engine get yanked out of that Honda as it was pretty barbaric.
