remember the stupid racer in GMR street racing crash?
YouTube video triggers insurance fraud charges for Diamond Bar siblings | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/03/youtube-video-triggers-insurance-fraud-charges-against-diamond-bar-siblings.html)

Two Diamond Bar siblings have been arrested and charged with felony auto insurance fraud after authorities stumbled upon a YouTube video allegedly showing that their car, which they said were in two separate accidents, was actually damaged during a street race.

Jay Xi Chen, 21, and his sister, Tracy Chen Chen, 29, were arrested last week on suspicion of filing false claims for the damage on a Nissan GT-R “supercar,“ for losses potentially as costly as $76,000, according to the California Department of Insurance.

Jay Chen initially filed an insurance claim stating that his sister had been driving the car when it was involved in a collision on the 10 Freeway last March, and Tracy Chen corroborated his story, authorities said. He withdrew that claim, but later filed another saying he crashed the vehicle in June on the 60 Freeway in Riverside, Insurance Department officials said in a news release Friday.

But investigators found that the damaged Nissan had been sitting in a shop, unrepaired, since March, according to authorities. Investigators also found a video clip on YouTube showing the car on Glendora Mountain Road in an apparent nighttime street race.

In the video, titled “New GTR R35 crashes following Evo IX MR,” a car, which is difficult to make out in the darkness, is shown crashing into a barrier on the side of the road during a turn. The vehicle in the video had the same damage as described in Jay Chen’s claim, authorities said.

Jay and Tracy Chen have been charged with six and one felony counts, respectively, by the San Bernardino County district attorney’s office. Each of the counts carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison, authorities said. They could not immediately be reached for comment.

i dont know what to say to this. the stupidity of this young kid with rich parents. probably felt really good to be like "yeah im 21 and i have a GTR"
now i wonder how it feels to be the 21 y/o dumbass who wrecked his GTR in the canyons?

sidenote: i especially like how at the end of the vid they show the wrecked GTR and then the EVO. like saying the EVO owns the GTR. its just the EVO had a better DRIVER than the GTR.

I agree the kids and their parents are jackasses who deserve whatever punishment is handed to them...my question is:

How is there $76,000 in damage done to a car with an MSRP of roughly $83,000 when the (visible) damage stops mostly before the front doors?

im thinking that they probably totaled the vehicle out instead of paying for the repairs. whoever they took it to for the repair was probably thinking 'yeah im gonna make bank on this GTR' gave the insurance a bill for 70k in repairs or something ridiculous like that, and the insurance totaled the car.

Jay Xi (chinese Jay Z?)
and Chen Chen? (chinese "Pit Bull" rapper? lol her name is like a dog)

Lets go take our fast ass cars out to a narrow mountain pass on a rainy day because our 4wd is uber grippier legit yo! hopefully there is some gravel loose so we can rally like on tv and do 4wd drifts!! FaCK YEAH!! Don't forget to turn off traction control so it handles better like on video [email protected]! OH SHIET I CRASHED!! LETS DO IN$$URANCE FRAUD, lets report our accident months after it happens!! insurance wont know a thing! we can get ANOTHER GTR FREE! wait lets just get two evo's instead!! GREAT IDEA, so great we can report it twice and get paid twice!! no one will know a thing. Ok lets go home and post this on youtube.

very true, I misinterpreted "losses potentially as costly as $76,000" for "damages potentially as costly as $76,000."

They were probably figuring on the full value of the car.

Anybody going to the San Bernardino County public auto auction next month???

Street racing is for fucking idiots. Illegal, dangerous, and not covered under ANY insurance policy. Unless your insurance policy is your parents.

Yeah, it's rather crazy to think the cost would be so freakin high (Yeah I know the car is not cheap to begin with) but reading that a low speed accident with minor bumper issue costing that poor bloke $11K in damages is out of this world...

I agree, but you also have to realize that the GTR fits in a different genre of cars. Once you start purchasing "exotic" type cars, you should be ready to be paying TOP DOLLAR for pretty much everything short of a lug nut...lol

i went for shits and giggles maybe a year ago, but i took my 4runner so it was obvious i wasnt there to run, and there were cops cruising up and down. i stayed for about 10 minutes and went home.

to give some background info jay the GTR owner was talking shit to the evo, which is why if you guys saw the older video the evo owner put in his description saying he was running nos and like quad twinscroll turbos or something nonsensical. long story short jay was cocky thinking he could take an evo with a GTR and clearly got his ass handed to him by the mountain and the driver.

bringing this back from the dead for an interesting tidbit...

apparently channel 5 did a story on Insurance fraud today, coincidently, the video of this GTR was one of the main things shown...

YouTube Fraud: Man Accused of Fraud After Posting Illegal Street Race on YouTube - KTLA (http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-you-tube-fraud-sweeps,0,7731341.story)


GLENDORA -- It's a dangerous night-game that can turn deadly in an instant for young people in Southern California: street racing.

And one stretch of Glendora Mountain Road above Glendora is prime real estate for street racers in the San Gabriel Valley. But it may have also turned into 'Exhibit A' for insurance fraud investigators.

A video posted on YouTube shows an illegal street race videotaped by one of the participants. And on a winding curve, you can see the trailing car lose control then smash into a retaining wall.

Photos posted with the race footage show significant damage done to the Nissan GTR, a very expensive, high-performance custom race car.

I used to have fun as a kid, going up there with my brother and watching him and his friend run down that place. Now it seems like Every Dumb ass who watched tokyo drift goes up there to try and show of ther "skills". ppl running up at the same time that other are running down:duh:
