shit...it'll buff out.

wow at least they are not Neons.......Neons FTW!

neons are especially FTW against those cars lol

He had purchased a B-20 Vtech engine with a double-overhead cam

eff'in retards....a b20 didnt come with a VTEC head so if he really had a b20 VTEC he either A. sure as hell didnt buy it that way or B. bought it from a fellow honda-tech member

also it's VTEC, not vtech....its not a damn phone company

You're making yourself retard. No one cares, its a news article.

I think its funny the cars got crushed, lesson learned the hard way?

i would fucking CRY if they did that to my car. i shit you not, i would probably be in tears for weeks. not even joking, id prolly try to kill myself.

That's great!! That's what you get for being a street racer.

i wonder if they sell the parts at the junk yard..... thats when i would buy 64 imp and put some 13's on it and hydros... cant race that...lol

douchebaggery neccessary??? sorry i think a news article should research their topic and use the correct terms....believe me, calling it Vtech would like them saying STR4 if it were about neons, or the for you the GIT....if a news organization isnt going to research enough to get their facts straight they shouldnt bother

If you read the article, most of those cars didn't have VIN numbers matching, so they can be considered stolen. I saw it on the news yesterday too. Like tha tone guy said, they should atleast auction off the parts and donate the money to charity. Just a publicity stunt to try to scare people.

of course none of the vins match....they were all motor swapped cars lol.....i know there are swapped neons in cali that wont have match vins so you guys better watch out lol

my dad just sent me a link to that... you beat me to posting it....

I think I shall keep my reciept in my car now. Not that I will do any street racing. That is a pretty harsh punishment, and I agree that they should part them out and sell off the stuff for charity if they are going to impound the vehicles.

I find it slightly funny that they are all hondas (and acura, which is honda) in this bundle.

I like it when people who don't know crap about cars use the term "souped-up"

Who really uses that term? lol

not to be a jerk, but why the hell would they auction the parts off? they are trying to keep "souped up" cars off the road, not make the other ones faster...sure some of the parts would go on track cars.....but seriously, think about it....they would just be putting the problem back on the streets

I'm with you there, my neon is practically family with all the things we've gone through and the secrets it knows. I bawled my eyes out for hours when I backed it into my mom's car and put a plate size dent in the rear bumper.

Crazy that they crushed the cars though. What they did was stupid and dangerous but to completely destroy the cars?? Least part them out so they can get picked over.

Edit: if they're worried about more racers getting the parts how bout take out the important things like the engine and leave the rest (stock parts) for the regular joes that may need some other parts to get their cars back together.

did you not read my post right above you? cops dont want those parts back on the street.....why would they sell them?

Sorry, I had it started to be typed out and got sidetracked with other things. I didn't refresh the page for fresh responses. I have edited my post and you have my apologies.

Seriously, bad mood bad01neon? There is only room enough in this thread for one troll, and that's going to be me.

(us EB owners gotta stick togetha)

who cares if the cars are "souped up" as long as they are not street racing. a car can be modified within local laws and be plenty fast ON THE TRACK.

You think they don't like crushing little imports that street race? That'd be the highlight of my day if I was part of the whole operation. "Woooo!! Look at that Civic crumble!!!" Pass 'dem turbas' around! "Who's next, bitches?!"

Actually, maybe they auction them on like eBay or something to gain funds for their street racing enforcement and they're not resold locally. Does it say how they sell them or get rid of the parts?

EDIT: Upon re-reading the article, it didn't say in there that they auction the parts off. One of the "street racers" suggested that they should take off the 'parts that matter' and auction them off and give the money to charity. Going back to what I said, it'd be a good idea for them to eBay them - Keep them out of state or something...

"If you have to race, take it to a legal venue," Higbee said. "But as long as they keep racing illegally, we keep crushing their cars."

that's what you get for being a douchebag for sure. squish!

Meh, last summer they did that in Ontario to make a point, only the cars were older pieces of shit, not the high quality exclamation point making cars like those there.

I street race sometimes...


And I am sure a lot of people that are like yea squish em! Have raced before on the street.

not i my man. not i. but then again i have a kid in the car with me 90% of the time, and drive a staurn.

Almost. Too bad the ones the used last year were purchased from a yunkyard and then crushed, nice try the Police did, to bad it leaked that they weren't actual cars used in street racing.
