That'll shut that Civic up for a long while.
LMAO...that would be oddly satisfying.

Ann - as to the Civic, it's a disease/disorder that extends everywhere. We have them here too. They sit outside at malls, at midnight, working on their cars, with The Fast and The Furious rattling around inside their heads to the point where they believe they are living the movie.

They'll paint their rear DRUM BRAKES red. Drum brakes. On a Civic. Painted red.

Best moment for me was at my old house. There was a long, dead end street across from me. My old neighbourhood was nice, but there was low-income housing/projects near it. So...a lot of gangsta wannabees and a lot of 'riced' out Civics, etc.

They would street race at 3 a.m. outside our house on that street and it would always wake us up. So...one night I waited until they were fully racing to call the cops. Held the phone out the window so that dispatch could hear them.

That worked a treat.

Three cops, including a sergeant, pulled up within a minute or two and they all got busted. My wife and I watched the whole event with smiles on our faces. Best part was that a buddy of mine was one of the cops. He saw my name and address on the dispatch. Spoke with him a few weeks after and he recalled the night and the event and said it was a good bust. Plenty of heads cracked, in a legal sense, of course. Said his sergeant had a great time. There has been a crack down here on street racing after a few deaths.

These kids get into their Civics, with painted drum brakes of course, and speed far past the capacity of the car to safely handle that speed.

Then they become a stain on a tree and their parents hang crosses on the trees for all to see. Sad all around.
