Remember the Street Racing Bust that Involved a Goat...

....I know the goat owner got his car back (at least I think he did) and is a member here...well many of the others have hit the auction block.

http://www.wxii12.com/news/21303451/detail.html


There isn't a vid and I missed the story on tv, but last night duing a teaser advert, they showed the QSM as if it were part of the auction.

So if your car is seized then I am guessing you are still responsible for the payments if it is being financed.

I'm not sure why this reminds me of some of the media stories we would get from 3rd world countries where peoples' property was being seized by their local government because they were accused of something deemed criminal by their local governments. The commentary usually involved something about how we're such a free country because we're not subject to such "illegal seizures".

Quit paying taxes and see how long you own something.

I think the dude (who is a member here) who lost the QS GTO for a year learned an expensive lesson. IFIRC, it cost him over $10,000 in fines, etc. to get it back. Most of them lost their cars. Scary thing is just a week ago I found myself opening up the Maggie on that same stretch of road. Not racing, but just a early morning cruise shall we say...

Trouble with the difference between accusal and conviction?

I know, its a tough one.

Yea, I got it back, so no chance of anyone buying it at auction. Sorry, guys. They got a pretty badass terminator which may or may not be auctioned, I'm not sure what's happening with that car. The rule is that they have to put the cars to stock before they can sell them to the public, so the termi might end up chasing baddies. I know there will be a TBSS on the block though, if anyone is interested. I'm not sure what has already been sold and what hasn't.

Tom: give me a call next time you make it down this way.

You don't care if I die, bassist? That hurts me on the inside. I wish I was cool enough to be a part of your hardcore street racing clique. Reppin' the hardcore streets of High Point, North Carolina. Did mommy and Daddy pay for the car you got taken away(and almost auctioned off) for street racing too? Man, you's a hardcore gangsta for sure

Be careful what you say. The streets of High Point ARE pretty hardcore. And I'm not talking about some street-racing kids.

Are you serious? X2

I've been to High point on several occasions over the years. They have their share of crime and wanna be thugs just like Winston and Greensboro, but it's not like it's gangland or anything. I have a feeling torrid_nc is joking a little. If not, he's full of shit.

"Some of the cars involved had tens of thousands of dollars of work done to soup them up for racing."

LOL

^^^ Do they still show Gangland, and when? All the Chicago gangs are from my old neighborhood, and surrounding neighborhoods. I thought it was a trip when I saw episodes based on them. Brought back a lot of old memories. Sad part is that they were not too long ago.
