With abundant wildlife and crystal-clear freshwater lakes, Canada has some of the most impressive stretches of untouched wilderness left on the face of the Earth. But the country also has highways, fast cars, and*law enforcement. Those three things came together in one of the biggest illegal street racing busts in recent memory.

Audi R8
A crew of 13 speed demons were reportedly on their way to get some food when they decided to put their pricey sports cars to the test on a strip of Vancouver highway. Two vehicles formed a rolling road block to clear the way for the racers to face off. In*cars carrying nameplates like Ferrari, Maserati, and Audi, the opponents put the pedal to the metal and reached speeds of over 125 mph.
With no police around to catch them in the act, bystanders and other drivers feverishly summoned law enforcement. When the cops eventually wrangled all 13 racers to the side of the road, they found that not one of the drivers was over the age of 21, and 6 of the 13 carried only "N," or Novice class licenses.

Lamborghini Gallardo
In British Columbia, N class licenses require drivers to place a large N sticker on the back of their vehicles, and they are prohibited from carrying more than one passenger. Run-ins with the law are especially critical for N class drivers, and any single infraction can mean immediate suspension of driving privileges and a reboot of the progress they've made towards a full drivers license.
Along with handing out fines of nearly $200 to each participant for "Driving without Reasonable Consideration," and all 13 of the high-dollar street machines were confiscated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.*Totaling over $2 million, the vehicles are now impounded for an unspecified amount of time. Here is a full list of the cars, along with their base retail price:
2005 Aston Martin DB9 - $155,000
2009 Audi R8 - $110,000
2007 Ferrari 599 - $270,000
2010 Lamborghini Gallardo - $202,000
2010 Lamborghini Gallardo - $202,000
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo - $198,000
2010 Maserati Turismo - $135,000
2010 Maserati Turismo - $135,000
2011 Mercedes SL63 - $139,000
2011 Mercedes SLS - $183,000
2010 Nissan GT-R - $80,000
2010 Nissan GT-R - $80,000
2012 Nissan GT-R - $84,000
As the police didn't actually catch the racers in the act — and had to rely on witness accounts and statements made by those involved — the youngsters will avoid more serious consequences. Had the Vin Diesel wannabes been observed by the RCMP blocking the highway and using it as a racetrack, they may have faced complete forfeiture of their expensive cars. As it stands now, they'll likely have their supercars back on the road within a few days with nothing more than $550 in fines.

Which, boys and girls, is exactly why we try to tell newbie riders they do not want to run out and buy gsxr 1K's or turbo 'busa's for their first bikes. No matter how much they claim they will "respect" the power and speed

If you're that young with those cars... how come they didn't just run?

And how did they pull over all 13 anyway... rookies!
