Here in Australia they have started confiscating cars.. you don't even have to be racing, just doing a burnout will get you in big doo doo. If you get caught three times they can take you car off you and you don't get it back.  :swear:

We have something close to that. I'm sure we get our cars back though, after a couple of years or something, maybe never.  :crying:
I guess you guys would be like us, having to pay them to keep it (storage fees)  :banghead:


Just make sure you do it down lone roads or up a mates rural drive way.  :ylsuper:

If you have outstanding fines they will confiscate your car and if you dont pay the fines within 30 days they auction it off.

You've just spent $30-50k and 3 years restoring your classic Mopar and the government wants to take it off you because you did a burnout, your exhaust was too loud or you accelerated too quickly... are you really going to give it up easily? Sure, we shouldn't really be doing this kind of thing on public road but doesn't this kind of punishment just encourage high speed pursuits?  :screwy:

Is that for 1/4 of the car....and the rest!!!!!!!  :lol2: :icon16:

High speed pursuits? Not me, that would mean your car and a 50 cent ring hole to boot. No thanks.  :eek4:

Last year, a person that I know was racing a late 90's Mustang GT with his new 04 GTO that he just bought. They were on a 2 lane highway early morning. The Mustang made some type of erratic manuver. They both touched sides and crashed into the cement divider going over 80 mph. My buddy rolled his new GTO 4 times until it came to a halt. They both got out unhurt and both of them immediatlely agreed that they were not racing when the cops finally show up. Well the cops showed up and immedialey started pressuring them that they "were racing."  I'm sure the skid marks and debris strewn everywhere showed strong evidence of racing albet. He went to court over it and the street racing charges were dropped. his insurance company paid him off 100% on the accident. Same with the other guy too he thinks. Needless to say, he went out and bought another 05 GTO to replace the 04. He told me his wife was soooo pissed at him for his childish behavior. lol. I bet he slept on the couch for a week if not longer.

Thats what will keep me from really street racing anyone. I will blow off the occasional car that appears to be some competition. My mom doesnt mind me having a musclecar because, I have to pay for everything including the insurance.

i dunno what would be worse, worrying about what your mom thought of your car, or your wife....mom is gone now and wont ever have a wife. just strikes me as odd to worry about either. every time i see a remark like that i just gotta be sad :screwy:
