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.

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.
Let me guess, he is here on a student visa. His tuition is being paid by some commie commissar in china.
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.
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.
They deported him. It was pretty swift, too.
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.
It would be nice to know what school this jerk attends. Ya’ think the schools in for a real big donation?
I’m not a big Maserati fan, but that is a nice looking car.
Not long ago a couple was killed by a speeding illegal around there
He attends Boston University.
Hence the headline: “BU Student...etc. etc.”
Yeah.
The article should have mentioned that in the first sentence or something...
100 mph = 268,800 furlongs/fortnight
OMG!!!!!!!
In the middle of a city? In an 80,640 zone?

>>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.
