I had a friend who had his 50k rb26 drift car crushed while drifting at bust at in Sacramento. It was kinda bullshit because all he did was drift one turn. Only in cali it seems they do it.
 
stupid. they should be sold at auction like other seized property so they can make a little money.
 
That song is really annoying, but yeah that's retarded they could of sold them and got some speed traps or funded some speed bumps. People are really dumb. I would of taken those red rims...
 
power hungry cops make me sick...nothing better to do but crush cars and bust grow ops....keep up the good work boys....your really keeping us safe ROFL:D
 
Street racing is a huge problem out here in cali. They sldid this to send a message to all of those foolish enough to street race. You race = you lose your ride. I am glad they did it. Those kids deserved it.
 
I liked the part where they rip out that vtec engine! Lmao

I was surprised at how durable the CF hood was before it finally snapped.

For what, so more people will go out and race which they are trying to prevent by crushing the vehicle.

Megadeth is an amazing band :rocks:
See above

They're just destroying perfectly good property. It's like siezing money in a bust and burning it.

At least with burning money it keeps our dollar value higher assuming it was American currency.
 
even tho there Honda's i still cringed when they ripped out their precious Vtec LOL
 
You know as i watch these Honda's get crushed up i think about how so many of our dsm's getting crushed up everyday. Due to Projects that are unfinished, problem arises, finiancial difficulties, lost of interest all this mounts to the destruction of our beloved cars. Dsm's will be part out and then later on down the road get crushed up.

I understand all situation will arises either good or bad. But think about the car once you felt in love with will no longer here because of one person's selfish act to dismantle and inielate the car.

I also understand, the need to make a profit/part out but do you also understand the time you have to put into dismantlement of the car and putting up for sale which will equates into no profit.

Value of the car = as sold, more then likely at a loss, sometimes(it may seems)

Part out a car+ time it takes do dismantle+ put up for sale= Likely, will yield a profit(it may seem)

If you look at how much time it took you to dismantle a car, put up on the market for sale and then wait. Even if you made a sale, you will see a profit form individual parts as to selling the car as a whole.
But think about it, have you really make a profit on it?

The time you put into the car to get ready for sale, is all the energy that have been put into "work". You have work for, the gain is not in the parts you dismantle and sells.

Minus the work, just selling the car as is will mounts to same profit(no energy required). But know this, you are not going to get what you payed for(sometimes gets lucky) because the products depreciated over time and what is value at a price will no longer be the same.

It just, for me, will be even more heart breaking if you replace those honda's with DSM's. And the reality is its already happening.


If you give up on your project, please don't consider parting out/crush the car. Instead, let somebody who have enough resources to continue the legacy. I would rather see these well build DSM earning their reputation as a track/road king and most feared imports out there. Please don't part/crush them, restore them.
 
Not a fan of Hondas by far, but a automotive fan I am. This was / is wrong. Feds don't burn down a house if they bust a drug dealer in it. I could go on all day with analogies. This kind of action is why I'm no fan of our government or the way it's run. Who's to say that one of those cars wasn't a family car. A wife / girlfriend or whatever needed that car to get to work to make a living. California is a Bss Aackward state.
 
Just my 2 cents. I understand crushing them and not reselling them to future street racers. But how about the engines they pulled? A lot were probably B-series motors which kids would be running to the junkyard for OEM parts off of to complete their swaps. So you sold them the motor so they can what? That's right, go street race. The entire thing should be destroyed. If you're going to do something, do it right, or don't do it at all. "We crushed your car, but the motor is right over there in that pile. Feel free to grab/buy what you want and put into another motor that you then put into 1 of a billion hondas so you can street race some more."

If they do destroy the motors later on down the road and it's just not seen in this video, then ignore my comment.
 
I saw wheels, audio components, interior parts, transmissions, engines, body panels, and many other things non related to street racing. And I don't see how a intake even make it a street racer, which I also saw. A lot of wasted money only to make a example.
 
Street racing can be done in a mini van. The point is they are crushing any car they seize on the spot for racing. People need to grow up and accept the risk they take. It's better to loose a job than loose a life.

Really!!!! How do blanket laws like this help anything. Who's to say laws like this won't be abused. I would rather see fines or community service for offenders, rather than laws that affect more than one person. That is,(in my opinion) how you hold someone responsible for their actions.
 
California is eventually going to break off so im not worried about it. haha just playing. I seen this video before. Street racing goes on everywhere cali just must be so bad they wanna send a serious message but what do you expect from an over populated area that was pretty much the start of import tuning. At the current rate oil prices are going up we probably wont be driving oil propelled machines by the time were old. Everything will probably run on corn or something else. Nothing last forever.
 
they pull the motors and stuff so it can get recycled properly i presume and not just crush it all with the steel. as said above they probably also are getting crushed because certain numbers dont match up, which i didnt think of initially
