Damn straight. Because then, what it is? It's just a bunch of people doing pointless joy-riding. If you're gonna break the law at breakneck speeds, you might as well get something out of it. And I prefer to drain the bank accounts of cocky jerkoffs in their stupid little souped-up rice-rockets, with some classic American muscle.
On occasion, they race for pinks too. A few years ago I won a '70 GTO, but I only kept it for about a week because I already had 3 vehicles at the time. I figured 4 was way too much to financially be responsible for (not to mention a little too conspicuous), so I chopped it and sold it for parts.

You stripped a 70 GTO, lame. That's a car you restore.

Not really; the '70 isn't exactly a rare artifact. And I had already owned a '67 GTO, which I think is a far finer specimen. 70 GTO's are like 'Vette Stingrays; people act like they're hard to come by, but they're really not. You can find either in any local Auto Trader. (And I've personally restored plenty of 70's for customers anyway).
If it had been a '71 GT-37, a '58 Plaza, an Alfa Romeo Stradale, or a Vallelunga, that would be a different story. Especially for the AR Stradale, only 18 were ever made and I've only seen them in pictures--never in person. And that's uncommon, because I've seen just about everything that has four wheels.

jeez...
I totally chose the wrong career path
(though, tbh, I don't have the nerves for breakneck speeds....)
that is tragic about the GTO however, couldn't find it a proper home?

Well, people generally like to know a used vehicle's history, especially classics. And "obtained in illegal street race" wouldn't go over well with most private collectors or prospective buyers. And to be honest, I'm not even sure how the guy I won it off got it. Knowing him, he probably acquired it through some dubious means (it had a phony licence plate). He had only owned it for a few months..and I didn't ask any questions.
Besides, I got enough money off the parts anyway.

You look exactly like this one receptionist I used to have. This whitegirl from Oklahoma named Lacey. She was the most skilled person I've ever known at coming to work with a monster hangover and still keeping up with the customers. A couple of eyedrops and a breath-mint, and you'd be none the wiser.
