That's how you NOT use any car on the road. This driver is just plain daft and an asshole. Take it to the track.

Storm in a tea cup.
It's only all over the news because these cars were speeding in the exclusive area of Beverly Hills. This happens all the time in other city's and towns (e.g London) Not that I condone this kind of driving on residential roads with parked cars. Speeding has a place and time, where risks are at a minimum. |

I hate fucking idiots like that. Diplomatic immunity isnt supposed to be used like that. Endangering lives other than your own and showing a blatant disregard for our country and authority. These assholes are all quick to say "fuck America" but they all want to live here and enjoy the good life. They should be deported and banned! Rant over

That awkward moment when the news reporter annihilates the pronunciation of a country.

They are Qatar Royalty. Been all over the car news lately. I'm already tired of reading about it. London has been dealing with these Middle Easterners for years, so it's a bit ridiculous when people get all offended just because they are doing it in America now. From an economic standpoint, I think it's kind of funny to see the outrage from Americans who have most likely bought Middle East oil for their cars to which that money went to Middle Easterners buying said Hypercars and bringing them here to America and driving like idiots. From a law enforcement standpoint, there is nothing much the LAPD can do anyways, they would have to prove the people who drove the cars are in fact the people who drove the cars, so diplomatic immunity wouldn't matter here anyways. What I'm sure would have outraged Americans more, as far as the "I have diplomatic immunity" thing goes, is if these Qatari's actually ran someone over or were charged with vehicle manslaughter and then claimed "Dimplomatic Immunity." That never happened though, so I don't get why some people are getting all bent out of shape over a couple of dumb dumb's driving stupid and hurting nobody but their own cars.

Smh... I can't stand "American" language. In English, and in most english speaking countries, it's pronounced Kah-tar. We have partners in Bahrain (Qatar's neighbor), so knowing the proper pronunciation to all Middle Eastern countries is quite important lol.

The thing about the story that I found most interesting was the whole idea of diplomatic immunity.
It turns out that family of US diplomats are actually not protected under diplomatic immunity. In other words if the US State Department wanted to prosecute these individuals for breaking the law they could. As was pointed out earlier the fact that these were moving violations with no injury means that the penalties would be financial. And clearly financial penalties mean nothing to these people. By the way is anyone else interested to know why that yellow car was smoking after a modest hot lap?

That video didn't look like they were doing 100mph on that street. Maybe 50mph.
The only thing bad I saw was the fact they didn't slow down for the stop sign. This said Stop signs are moronic, and it astounds me that no one the than this one town in Indiana has thought to replace them with roundabouts. The safety and traffic benefits are unquestionable. http://www.carmel.in.gov/index.aspx?page=123

The Carmel, Indiana experience suggests otherwise.
That said, if these Beverly Hills Hill Billies have a real issue with these arabs and their reckless driving, why not install speed bumps. I think that would put a stop to this. Ferrari can't do 100mph over a speed bump.
