I hope this is not a repost...

So they impounded 13 exotic cars.
12 men, 1 woman.
All under age of 21
Only 1 driver was the registered owner
6 of them had 'N' license

People do stupid things, the FBI is no exception.

Back in 2003, a Ferrari F50 was confiscated by the FBI.
Fast forward to May 2009, an FBI officer decided to go for a joy ride and smashed into a tree.
It was up for a auction and starting price was only $65,000.

Someone sounds young, poor, and jealous. I really think you missed the big picture on that one.

This is clearly an abuse of the law - surely it was intended to capture the proceeds of major commercial crime like volume drug trafficking. Whats next - seizure of your car for an expired parking meter? Seizing your house for watering your lawn on the wrong day?

And do keep in mind - this was a victimless crime -NO ONE was hurt in any way.

Most of the attitude I read in these comments is just a shameful display of simple jealousy. I wish that your actions be judged in the same way someday.

this is what happens when the government is given too much power :heckno:

Raid3n 05-08-2013 06:45 AM

victimless crime... this time maybe...but the potential for tragedy is there ...

BurnoutBinLaden 05-08-2013 07:13 AM

I've got a question.

Does anyone on RS personally know these drivers? How did they react to the seizure, did they get new cars?

joeli27 05-08-2013 09:40 AM

i am sure they went and bought another exotic car after the seizure. it's like pocket change to them

320icar 05-08-2013 09:46 AM

Jealous? Lololololo not at all. Pride and self worth of knowing you've truly earned what you have is far more than these trust fund babies will ever have.

Thread title fail. Only ONE car was forfeited. Still a fucking stupid use of this law.

donjalapeno 05-08-2013 10:08 AM

I hope they sell all of them. Tired of snotty ass rich asian kids that think they can do whatever the fuck they want with their parents money. I work close to crystal mall so i have encountered enough of them.

tofu1413 05-08-2013 10:38 AM

im guessing majority of them were leased vehicles.

SpeedStars 05-08-2013 11:08 AM

only one registered owner :lawl:

There is potential for tragedy everytime you walk out of your front door. The government needs to stop trying to protect the people from themselves. Impliment a HIGH fine for this kind of speeding/racing based on income like they do in other parts of the world and give the guy his car back. That way it's a bit more legit and maybe he has to sell his car to pay for the fine. But at least then they are not taking something that is not theirs and they have no right to take aside from a little piece of paper someone decided to sign years ago for the purposes of confiscating "proceeds of crime." Not driving fast.

tofu1413 05-08-2013 11:11 AM

theyre kids....

so no income on paper! :troll:

good to know that I'm getting through to your biased views that you have to resort to that kind of a response. No, im not a mainlander FYI.

so what do you think of these guys? young, less well off, and tasteless? Hopefully you do so that you at least look consistent here. Funny how there's no insults based on wealth in that thread.

I don't know why you guys are arguing about that, I could give less of a fuck and I'm just focusing on being able to afford one for myself one day

ae101 05-08-2013 01:37 PM

man all i was trying to do is find matt zhangs car on there, too bad its not there :okay:

BABU 05-08-2013 01:38 PM

Those mainlanders won't care at all. You only add cool factor and one more story for them to tell their friends.
They will call their parents and say " dad you will need to send more money over. I need to pay my tuitions for next semesters. I got into law school. "
But all they do is fuck around in Vancouver try to film Fast and the Furious 7 illegal money China edition.

The main landers probably buy another car besides it's 50% off for cars in Canada compared to China because they pay a hell of a lot more taxes for their cars
