BU student’s car clocks at 100 mph on Beacon Street
Boston Herald ^ | October 3, 2014 | Laurel J. Sweet

A teenage Boston University undergrad with no driver’s license reached 100 mph Wednesday as he drove his $126,500 Maserati GranTurismo over the rain-soaked streets of the Back Bay, prosecutors said.

Zeguang Xu, 19, an undergraduate student at BU’s College of Arts and Sciences, pleaded not guilty yesterday in Boston Municipal Court to charges of operating without a license, providing a false name to police, speeding, failure to stop, and negligent operation. He was released from custody after posting $1,000 bail.

Perhaps taxpaying Americans should assist in the payment of his student loans. /sarc.

You gotta give the kid props for getting his car up to that speed in the city. There is hardly a straight street in that city.

The judge needs to make an example of this jerk now - with an attitude of entitlement like this he’ll be a real pistol in ten years.

he drove his $126,500 Maserati GranTurismo ... not guilty

This is Boston where democrats and corruption are the rule. The kid's family obviously has money. He'll be found not guilty or found guilty of some trivial charge, and a judge will quietly get a bit richer.

True dat, my crack-izzle. (Sorry, I assumed y’all was white...)

That is a crotch-rocket speed where Beacon Street is concerned.

Not really a 4-wheel-speed...unless you are in a Masi Turismo.

Watch for my “car porn” post, coming soon.

In our small town one of the Chinese foreign exchange students was caught spraying graffiti.

They deported him. It was pretty swift, too.

Beacon Street and Fairfield?

That's less than 364.4 smoots plus or minus one ear from . . . 364.4 smoots plus or minus one ear.

It helps to drive a car that can do 0 to 100 mph in under 10 seconds.

I’m not familiar with speed in units of “miles per hour” - can someone please convert this figure to furlongs per fortnight so I’ll know whether to be outraged?

Foreign students pay cash. No loans. In fact their family has to show they have enough money for the four years. Don’t worry (not that you were) the family has a lawyer/babysitter that will take care of everything.

I’m not a big Maserati fan, but that is a nice looking car.

He attends Boston University.

Hence the headline: “BU Student...etc. etc.”

Yeah.

The article should have mentioned that in the first sentence or something...

>>Xu was allegedly seen driving through a red light at Beacon and Fairfield streets — the same intersection where another driver allegedly ran a red light and struck and killed Jessica Campbell and John Lanzillotti in June, prosecutors said.
