It shouldn't be hard to find the rest of them. They probably walk around with with a big tatoo on their forehead "Hey officers, catch me if you can"

Hmmm I was considering getting "HIOFFCR" for tags on the SC lol but settled on something else. Well these guys and some of us know the risk we take with spirited driving on public roads. They should have just pulled over.

How stupid are these fools? It's like going to a gang land holding a sign "Hey MTF, shoot me".

Our phones started ringng about 1pm today about this story, and its already posted on 3-4 other sites!

I think a lot of the members here know Nil, he comes to a lot of Lexus meets with his 3series. We have actually sponsored him with about 3 sets of wheels already. He's a good kid, but simply made a foolish decision when he tried to evade the police. Streetracing is not something that we condone, and I'm sure he's learned his lesson. No one has had a chance to speak with him, but our prayers are with him.

I'm just glad no one was hurt.
SPONSER ME!! im a teenager with an LS430 but i dont wreckless drive like most teenagers to trust me i cant im 3 points away from getting suspended

To the top link: since WHEN was the journalist allowed to post where they live, down to the exact address?

They are also charged for illegally modding their cars with sport tires and exhaust? Wow I guess 80% of us here are in violation.

I feel bad for these guys right now, it's something you just get wrapped up in. We all do it, but it's the lucky of us that don't get caught.

Funny because I took this pic not to long ago and got a laugh out of it....

(Sry, out of focus.)



Good luck to these guys, I hope everything works out for the best...

i think these guys are unlockable characters from the new need for speed game.

i think speeding is okay to a certain extent. if it comes to the point of being wreckless with someone else's life, not just your own, it goes over the line to me.

Yeah exactly, but that's the news media. They take one thing and run out of control with it. It was originally illegal nitrous, then all of a sudden its illegal wheels and tires! That news-woman doesn't even know the extent to which she inserted her foot in her mouth!

Any updates on what's going on with these guys?

I don't think so. Only a few would try and run from the cops.

When I made the "we all do it" comment, I was talking about the occasional burst of speed or racing, or weaving through traffic. I know I do, but it's the risk you are willing to take...and there is always that risk of getting caught which makes it that much more exciting.

man, i feel bad for them.. as mentioned above, we all speed and drive recklessly (to a minor extent).. evading cops however, is a whole different thing.. some of those tickets they got are pretty crap..
