[QUOTE] B.C. Mounties say 13 high-end luxury cars were impounded and 13 people fined after an alleged street race in Metro Vancouver on Wednesday afternoon — and police are looking at permanently seizing the vehicles. At about 3:30 p.m. local time, police received several complaints of high-end cars speeding southbound along Highway 99 in the area of the George Massey tunnel. Witnesses reported the cars were travelling at speeds up to 200 km/h, and on several occasions two cars would travel side by side and slow down to allow vehicles in front of them to take off in a race. The impounded cars 2007 Ferrari 599 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Audi R8 2012 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Maserati Turismo 2010 Maserati Turismo 2011 Mercedes SL63 2011 Mercedes SLS 2005 Aston Martin DB9 The cars exited the highway into Surrey, where six of the 13 vehicles were stopped by Surrey RCMP. The other seven cars were located and stopped by White Rock RCMP a short distance away. Thirteen drivers were pulled over and their cars — worth a total of more than $2 million — were impounded. "The vehicles that we're dealing with here were Lamborghinis, high-end Mercedes, Maseratis, Aston Martins, high-end Nissan sports cars," said RCMP Insp. Bryon Massie. "The majority of them had personalized plates as well and were souped-up, so they're fairly distinguished and the witnesses had no problem in providing us with the descriptors that were tracked back to the vehicles." The drivers have each been fined $196 and will have to pay for the cost of impounding and storing their vehicles for seven days. However, RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont said police are looking at tougher measures. "So we've asked our team to be looking at the possibility of criminal charges and ... if we have enough evidence to lay a charge of dangerous driving. We're also going to be looking at seizing the vehicles for good," Gaumont said. The names of the drivers have not been released, and Massie said it's not clear where they are from. "The drivers of the vehicles are all in around the age of 20 years old. They're all new drivers. The majority of them do not have their full driver's licence status — they're still in the 'N' new category," Massie said, referring to B.C.'s graduated licensing program, which puts restrictions on new drivers and requires them to put an 'L' or 'N' decal on their car to alert other drivers of their novice status. The registered owner of the Lamborghini, Massie said, is only 18 years old. He said it appears the group was getting together to celebrate one of their colleagues leaving the area. Massie said the incident highlights an important message to drivers: "Speed is fairly unforgiving. Whenever you're involved in a motor vehicle accident where there's any speed at all, it's unforgiving ... Slow down, be responsible and understand that speed limits are there for a reason."

It's like a tow-truck drivers dream come to life.
Group of billionaire fortune heirs?

[QUOTE=Randdalf;32081808]Group of billionaire fortune heirs?[/QUOTE] I think I saw on the news that most (or all) we're Chinese or Japanese. Most likely super rich parents like you said.
"The drivers have each been fined $196" Are you kidding me? That's all? Where I live you'd get a hell of a lot more than that. "The biggest ticket — 96 mph over the limit —was issued to the driver of a Suzuki motorcycle that was clocked doing 134 mph in a 40 mph zone on West MacArthur at 1:56 a.m. on July 19, 2005. The 32-year-old male driver was fined $642.50 for speeding and reckless driving." "The fastest female driver was clocked doing 123 mph in a 65 mph zone on I-235 near Harry at 1:57 a.m. Nov. 21, 2009, in a Mercedes Benz. The 20-year-old was fined $747."

Police officers are jealous, clearly. Nobody gets their cars impounded for speeding.
[QUOTE=AngryChairR;32081964]Police officers are jealous, clearly. Nobody gets their cars impounded for speeding.[/QUOTE] Nobody soups up their car just to commute.
Fuck you street racers. Especially you GT-R shitheads I see riding around all the time in Jersey City. [sp]Who am I kidding, I'm just jealous as fuck[/sp]
not gonna lie, that would be kinda sick to watch [editline]2nd September 2011[/editline] and even better to participate in
[quote]The drivers of the vehicles are all in around the age of 20 years old.[/quote] Sounds like North Van rich fucks, totally spoiled by their *censored* and *censored*-ass parents.
2 Million? that can't be right but you can only buy half a bugatti veyron with that cash!
There has to be more to this story. How did a bunch of under-20's manage to get Nissan GT-R's and Lamborghini Gallardos?
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;32083077]There has to be more to this story. How did a bunch of under-20's manage to get Nissan GT-R's and Lamborghini Gallardos?[/QUOTE] Quite simple: Rich parents who spoil their kids like there's no tomorrow.

My brother has a GT-R
[QUOTE=meatballfish;32083834]My brother has a GT-R[/QUOTE] Pictures with proof?
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;32083240]But how rich would they have to be to buy their kid a damn Gallardo?[/QUOTE] Well for starters they [del]live[/del] own a house in Vancouver.

[QUOTE=MIPS;32084119]Well for starters they [del]live[/del] own a house in Vancouver.[/QUOTE] Exactly, they can't possibly have any money left.
Hustlers they are driving with those vehicles at such a young age. I see it all the time here at this shoddy apartment complex my girlfriend lives at. Lowest priced apartments, most expensive parked cars.
The joke is that the traffic is so terrible that they were probably late for the race.
[QUOTE=DrBreen;32083004]2 Million? that can't be right but you can only buy half a bugatti veyron with that cash![/QUOTE] Uh last I heard they were $1-1.5 million. Unless there is a new model that is much more expensive.
Now that would be a race to watch. Ahhh all the nice cars, I just want to see one in real life.
I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the kids were children of rich immigrants from the middle east.
Just like the Fast and Furious!
