Default D2 Autosports in the news!

Not sure Derrick wants this kind of publicity, but some kids got busted on the LIE on Long Island for driving like idiots! Look at the license plate frame

Canaan, you are so right bro, NOT the type of publicity we are looking for!

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.

"One of the cars had a license plate that read "HEYOFFCR" and three of the cars had windshield stickers that read "Place Ticket Here," with an arrow pointing to a spot under the windshield wipers"

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

That's too bad sometimes people have a lapse in judgement.

They may have fast cars, but no car is faster than a Motorola walkie-talkie.

Maybe I should take a bit easier too after hearing this, although I don't come close to being as reckless as them.
