$2M In Sports Cars Impounded After 2 Fast 'N Furious Canadians Street Race To Dinner

Police in Vancouver, British Columbia impounded 13 exotic sports cars after their drivers decided to race them to dinner on the highway at speeds in excess of 120MPH. No word on what restaurant they were going to, but that **** must be f***in' goooooooood.

What the racers, who police said are all under age 21, won't get is harsh punishment.

"Each driver will be charged with Driving without Reasonable Consideration and receive a violation ticket with a specified penalty of $196. Additionally, these drivers will be responsible for all associated towing and storage charges," according to the RCMP press release.

That's because police didn't actually catch them in the act and acted only on witness accounts. They weren't caught on radar, video or seen by a police officer, Superintendent Norm Gaumont, RCMP officer in charge of traffic enforcement for the Lower Mainland, told the Surrey Now newspaper. The cars:

2007 Ferrari 599
2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo
2009 Audi R8
2012 Nissan GT-R
2010 Nissan GT-R
2010 Nissan GT-R
2010 Maserati Turismo
2010 Maserati Turismo
2011 Mercedes SL63
2011 Mercedes SLS
2005 Aston Martin DB9


Whoa whoa whoa -- THEY WERE ALL UNDER 21?! God I hate rich, spoiling parents. You know why? Because they raise ****weeds. Me? I'm a vaginaflower. Like something straight out of a Georgia O'Keefe painting. Still, I can't help but feel bad for the kids driving the 2010 GT-R's. I mean come on, those things are only worth like $70K now. YOUR PARENTS ARE POOR AND DON'T LOVE YOU. Kidding -- KIDDING (but only about the poor part).

    russia.. only in moscow lots of nice cars because of mafia.. ukraine same thing only in kiev lots of nice cars everywhere because of mafia... aka "business men"

    seen a kid do a burnout in front of a highschool in a Porsche GT3 and wrapped it around post as it was too much power for the noob to handle...

    races used to be big in Canada until they came out with the new law "50km/h over speed limit ur car automatically is towed, license taken and a 15,000 fine" so its not worth it nmore.. n most of the races don't really take place on downtown or main streets usually about 5-10min on sides of towns..

    Surrey is the slums. Just sayin.

    Someday I'm going to replace my 350Z Roadster. My desire is an Aston Martin Vantage Roadster. But likely it will be a GT-R.

    I know what your saying Becks. But Van has money in general.
