awww, poor old hoons beng discriminated against... are you ####ting me? go and have your cry on boost croozin with the other street racing losers.
what's the problem anyway? If you don't race or drop burnouts, you won't get your car impounded. simple, isn't it? nothing to worry about unless you're one of these deadshits who go around doing that sort of thing as if it proves something. Its automotive small man syndrome...
If you hang around late at night in areas where these dickheads go to street race or smoke 'em up as they leave the carpark, you choose to associate yourself with these idiots - you can't blame the cops for thining you're all the same. And you pretty much are...
Fact is, even if you are one of the very few at those kind of places who aren't doing the wrong thing, you are still contributing to the problem - without the crowd to 'impress' the hoons wouldn't be doing half as much ####.
Don't like getting hassled by the cops? You're much less likely to get pulled over driving to the beach on the weekend for example, than loitering around carparks and so on with heaps of other hoons till all hours of the morning. Your choice. You put yourself in the situation - and you know what's going to happen.
You completely missed the point of that topic on boostcruising. They were complaining about the way a current affair presents car enthusiasts, and how they present ALL of them as hoons which is just simply not the case. There are some idiots on boostcruising, but the vast majority of people on boostcruising are not idiots and generally so called "hoon" antics are discouraged.
These car parks you speak of, I can guarantee you that its the majority of people that are doing the right thing, while there are a couple of people that wreck it by doing skids, burnouts and doughnuts and the like.
You might also want to have a look at
this topic, about how an r33 skyline driver had his car impounded because according to the cops he was street racing, when he in fact was keeping a constant speed of 100 km/h (the speed limit) and just driving normally.
More and more innocent car enthusiasts are getting done by the cops when it is evident that they have next to no knowledge about cars, with defects and the like.
The thing is with the media's constant negative portrayal of car enthusiasts the general public is going to start to think alike. Being a car enthusiast will mean you are an outlaw in the eyes of everyone, the car modification industry will die off and many people will lose their jobs.
I do not sympathise with hoons. People who do the wrong thing deserve what they get. But when somebody gets punished for something they werent doing, or gets defected for something that is perfectly legal I believe I have a right to stand up and make a noise.
