are you retarded? They "seize" it and put it into the impound lot, in which it says after 7 days he can pick it up.

For driving like that, but chances are if we all owned a Ferrari the vast majority of us at one point or another would hit 200km/h (atleast) on a public road


Oh and wow that car looks

I wonder if everyones high horse will go that fast?

Sure doing it on a busy road is pretty stupid but I seriously doubt anyone in here can claim that they have never hit 200 km/h.

Here's the update to the story. Looks like the cars were actually seized and being sold with only 30% going back to the owner of the Ferrari and 70% to the M6. That has to suck.

Pure comedy gold

I can't understant one thing, why the hell doesn't Government make it mandatory for the manufacturers to restrict the speed to 100 kms/hr since the max speed limit is 100 kms on majority of canadian hwys.

Ferrari - 50% to part owner not involved, 30% to owner involved, and 20% to province.

M6 - 70% to owner, 30% to province.

Right. I read as 5% the first time and didn't include in my post.

You'd be hard pressed to find a 430 Scuderia for over $250,000. Who's the ace reporter that figured out it was $400,000? Fail. How many other "facts" are wrong in this story?

np. I was just curious what happened to the other 100k.

Looks like the BC government made a few pennies on these impounds.

I seem to remember the regular 430 costing more than 250K new with taxes in...

I would have estimated somewhere in the low to mid 300s, 400 is definitely on the high side though. I am sure they just rounded up to make it seem more dramatic.

How is it even legal for the province to auciton off this car? I can understand them seizing it for 7 days or whatever and then slapping the owner with a big fine to get it out but how can they auction off someones property?

under a zero-tolerance bylaw for street racing. Race it and you could lose it.

That's pretty shocking and should definitely send a message to everyone else in the province as a warning.

Can't believe they're actually gonna auction off their cars, how brutal is that. Fucking government cash grabbing.

What do you think a better solution would have been? Each of them being fined $1000 (or a few thousand)? I don't think that would deter the owners of a Ferrari/M6 in any way.

[banned3x]

Hhahaha I love it. Government should keep 100%

Damn street racers!

[JordanAndrew]

yikes.

Sucks to be them.

I'm not really disputing the punishment, although that's what I typed, I just hate the government always coming down with a punishment that benefits them as well.

Why not suspend their license for two years... that'll teach em, but that wouldn't put any money in the govs pocket.
