Hoons to Get Crushed in New South Wales?

New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma hasn't yet ruled out crushing the vehicles of practitioners of road-borne asshattery. Police Commissioner Ken Moroney proposed the plan, which has gained steam after a rash of street-racing incidents in the last few weeks. His solution is as direct and simple as a V-8, rear-drive ute: send the bastards' vehicles to the crusher. While we find ourselves often wishing for missiles on Los Angeles freeways, we find the crush initiative to be a bit draconian. After all, some of those hoon cars would make fine autocross vehicles. Or the Australian equivalent of the Platform Pontiac. Hightower Holden, anyone? [Stuff, NZ]
