Canadian Government Wants To Sieze $2 Million In Cars After Ticketing Drivers Just $200

Would losing your Maserati for speeding be akin to paying a million-dollar fine for jaywalking?

That may be a question five drivers in British Columbia will soon ask themselves.

The five are among 13 owners of high-end sports cars who had their vehicles impounded last week after what Royal Canadian Mounted Police allege was a street race on a provincial highway in suburban Vancouver that reached speeds of 120 mph (200 kph). Police put the total value of the vehicles at $2 million.

I imagine their parents will come to the rescue...If the gov does in fact take them, the parents will likely file a suit to get them back...hopefully the gov would agree to give them back, ONLY if the offenders were forced to buy and drive Aveo's with no mods.

Canada is a resource based country, if the USA goes down, other countries will still be buying our resources.

eldard,

Why do you like kicking something when it’s down? In this case the U.S.A. It isn't a good look. Makes you seem hateful towards other humans. Not sure why everybody hates on the U.S.A, while at the same time the U.S.A isn’t hating on them? Seems like jealousy if you ask me or misplaced anger.
