Default Street Race anyone?

Civic failed at street racing (as did the driver).

I hear in Toronto they crush your car if you street race, much like in California.

I could just see the Carfax report on that thing: 1 accident - airbag not deployed.

no way a civic can go that fast. Probably cut in half by chainsaw.

or maybe he had lightened it up by taking all that pesky structural metal out of the frame before the race.

I have the same type of civic as my DD...makes sense that that could occur - it's a light car and doesn't feel like it would take much to rip it apart; good thing I swapped in the lower HP motor for MPG, I wouldn't be caught dead trying to race it!

I wonder if the relatives are going to buy the car back from the insurance company. Could part that out.
