Tired of having their streets terrorized by teenage hoons, residents of Edmonton, Australia have taken to tracking the perpetrators down and publicly shaming them. The angry neighbors have been recording the registration numbers of the hoons in order to locate their homes. Since most are still living with their parents (thereby saving money for new parts for their Utes), the mobs demand the parents drag their spawn out to the street in order for a serious "Come to Jesus" meeting. Though police have been attempting to seize and destroy as many illegally modified and driven vehicles as possible, it isn't enough for these locals. What has driven them so crazy? In addition to the usual loud noise, high speeds and long black stripes that come with hoonage, locals complain about having to constantly replace fences. Tramway maintenance worker Sid Shepherd lives at nearby Ravizza Drive and said hoons had crashed into his fence and yard seven times in the past five years. "One...

Proving that the best intentions aren't always matched with the best actions, 19-year-old Brett Seabrook of Victoria, Australia attempted to help a koala he thought was injured by repeatedly ramming its tree with his Toyota Landcruiser. Apparently the incident began when the Aussie teen found the koala at his campsite and wrapped it in a blanket — which is sort of a nice way of saying he abducted it. After hanging out with the koala for a while, he released it into a tree. That's when the koala started making noises, worrying Seabrook and prompting a somewhat irrational series of responses. According to The Age : Wildlife officer Greg Chant, prosecuting for the Department of Sustainability and Environment, said when the koala began to make a loud noise, Seabrook tried to retrieve it by poking it with a stick. Mr Chant said Seabrook then rammed the tree with his Toyota Landcruiser utility, which was witnessed by a number of nearby campers who alerted authorities. Is that hoonage...

It makes such incredibly perfect sense for tire companies to be huge supporters of Drifting Madness (and burnout competitions, of course) that it was inevitable that one of them would put up a drifting Flash game to encourage young hoons to hone their tire-wear-enhancing techniques while online (yes, yes, it's been around for a while, so anyone who's limbering up their 1337 skilz to break out the scathing "ur teh lame this so old" comments can just go somewhere else). Players can choose from a variety of vehicles, including a Fjord, Muzda, or Minimal minivan, all equipped with a selection of Marhal Tyres; the sound effects are just the thing to liven up a dull Monday workplace. We recommend the Minimal. Thanks to Franzouse for the tip! [Driftgame.au]

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/motorsport/Australian_street_racers_cars_to_be_crash_tested_shown_on_YouTube'; The New South Wales Government is fed up with illegal street racing and has decided to implement the "YouTube Law," wherein confiscated cars will be crushed in "crash test experiments" and then shown on YouTube for hoons to watch. Prompted by the deaths of two citizens in August in an alleged street racing accident, the police have confiscated nearly 300 cars for their little experiments. While we kind of think watching heavily modified Falcons and Commodores plowing into each other is kind of awesome (it's sort of a big thing around here), we probably wouldn't feel the same way if we put forth the thousands of dollars for the mods. As soon as we find some of that video we'll happily share it with you. [ AuBC ]
