Speed kills...

I haven't had a chance to watch it through yet (while in a few mins) but I live in Vancouver and I can only imagine how good this is going to be. You can't even get a couple friends together and go out for a cruise without the helicopter being called and having your name all over every local newspaper for "racing". Seems like every second day now, "7 high end cars caught racing". Oh yah, 4pm on a friday (rush hour) you claim 7 cars are racing? That's like claiming they were doing it in downtown L.A. at that time. Or a cruise up to whistler in the middle of the night when you're the only cars on the road and you get caught doing 30 or 40 over and "racing". Being caught "racing" here also gets your car impounded and then auctioned off. 40 over the speed limit gets your car impounded and roughly 2+k in fees by the time they've charged for the offense 3 times over (tickets, points, drivers point premium next year, tow, impound fee). This place makes me wish I wasn't a car guy.
edit:got a chance to watch it, great, GREAT video. I went on with a bit of a different tangent prior to watching, but good video.

This one made all of the local news outlets and they weren't even racing. They were going on a cruise together towards white rock beach, which is a popular cruise point. In fact, the police didn't even see them breaking any laws, they just went by what some other motorist said when they called the cops.

Here's last weeks, which I posted about in my original post. Pretty sure they were all heading to the luxury supercar car show to enter their cars. Regardless, we all know you CAN'T race anywhere in rush hour at 4pm on a Friday
