For some reason I thought you said "cruising" in a Lexus. Now I see. I don't know how they pulled that off.

Go to YouTube and read the comments. Supposedly this car was not being crushed for having raced but instead was some sort of T-Ten training car.

I wish that they would have stricter laws around here that would allow the cops to seize the cars of street racers. They are f&cking stupid and dangerous.

Here in Arkansas, there are plenty of state highways that are stone bare at night that the street racers go to. Those highways are usually very straight and the cops do go get them sometimes. The last time I heard that they went to get them the cars took off and the police arrested the by-standers. LOL I wasn't expecting that.

What, getting his car crushed? It's all about safety to me. I do realize that some people consider racing and safety being used in the same sentance an oxymoron but it's not to me. Racing through a traffic born street is nuts. Having a little fun on a highway with another car that has no others around, I don't see a big problem with that. We have good road systems here and 55 mph on a 14 mile streach of highway that is deserted is a waste of time to me. Not saying that people shoud go around breaking laws but come on.

If you know how to drive a car, you will have no problems. Then again, the old saying is if your in complete control of the car, you're not driving fast enough. I enjoy having fun in mine around when ever there is some sort of turn. That is Why I got the car.

I saw this video about a week or so ago, it was on auto blog. There are actually a couple videos on youtube of them crushing a bunch of cars from the street racers.

Personally, I feel like this was justified. Street racing is just stupid and they had this coming.
