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.

I do not know 100% but I believe in my state it is a felony to drive that fast and you will go to jail.

No need to punish this guy. Just let him keep it up.
Having that much of daddy’s money and being that stupid will remove him from the gene pool in due time.
You could punish him for driving too fast, but then he would turn around and do something else equally stupid.
Having money makes you invincible, dontcha know.

Boston University

>>Colin Riley, spokesman for BU, said he could not speak specifically about Xu’s status, but told the Herald, “Certainly what is described here is reckless and dangerous. We hold students accountable when they’re arrested for violations of student conduct policies. We’ll get the police report and go from there.”

“Not long ago a couple was killed by a speeding illegal around there.”

Illegals and drunk illegals kill innocent Californians on a regular basis.

If I remember right, the engine in that Maz is made by Ferrari, and the body is by Pinanfarina. They are works of art that happen to roll. Very fast, from this account.

Hmmm... Paging Joe Walsh! Looks like it’s back to the limo for Wu!

My Maseratti does one-eighty-five

I have a limo, ride in the back

In the Bay area if a pedestrian or innocent in another car is killed during normal hours by a hit and run, the odds are very high that the guilty drivers were illegals.

If innocents are killed after midnight to dawn by a hit and run driver, the guilty drivers are often criminal thugs who stole the vehicle, they killed innocents with.

For pictures of the unlicensed Chinese Killer Driver and more data, we need to go a UK newspaper.

$1000.00 bail for a Chinese national driving a $126,500 Maserati . No chance of him skipping huh?

I wonder what the bail would have been if it was an American teenager in a 15 year old $3500.00 Mustang? $10 grand?

Unwise. Odds are he would take out an innocent or two with him.
In fact he would be the one to survive.

Nice ride. I’ve always been a fan of Maserati styling... among my favorites Alfa Romeo and Lotus. Must be imprinting from all those old 007 flicks when I was a kid
