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.

Whom did he kill?
You may be correct.
A Maseratti? He had to post a piddling $1,000 bail? LMAO! He wipes his butt on $1000 bills! What genius set THAT bail amount?
Criticizing the media in the U.S. for their bias is a fine thing - when they are being biased.
...plus funeral expenses.
As a general rule, if you need financing for such a vehicle, you probably should not be buying it.
..which is about the only reason I do not own a Ferrari 456 Italia...
I could afford to make the payments, but I could not afford to keep it gas, tires and oil.
The only thing I've found are comments to news articles speculating that she's an illegal immigrant because of her name.
True enough. Maybe his parents spoiled him to death with STUFF while they were away doing their own thing. The judge can make a difference by throwing the book at him.
Pistol? He'll be a DRAIN on us. He'll either be in prison or rehab. Either way, a drain.
This month marks 52 years since the smoot was invented, and 27 years since the plaque was posted at MIT stating that it was “placed in honor of the smoot, which joined the angstrom, meter and light year as standards of length . . . in October 1958 . . ..”
When, I went to the article’s link a little after 6 am PDT, there was no picture.
You are right, he is not yet a killer. Fortunately no one was in his way.
I don’t know if it is a felony or not in Texas but if you were in a large city in a 30mph zone driving over 100 in the rain there is no question in my mind you would go to jail and bonding out would be purposefully sloooooowwwww!
Being 19 and an alien wouldn’t help either. Then when it came to trial, he likely would get a long jail term with most of it suspended. And, Lol, I don’t know if he would EVER get his license back!
Complete trash? Uh huh. Anybody who wants to dump that trash in my garage is welcome to.
Where are you getting your information?
That mug shot of his.... he looks like a killer. Will come in handy if he goes back to China.

268,800 Furlongs/Fortnight. For the city it’s pretty quick. :)
darnit - I got pulled into a meeting :)
...and in an 80,640 zone, too...
Saw an interview with him about 15 years ago. He was in town for a reunion. They remeasured him, only to discover that he was shorter. The Smoot is not a constant value. I was shocked to discover that alcohol was involved.
In 1987, the concrete of the bridge was due for replacement. 1987 was also the 25th anniversary of, well, the smoot, and we all know (sarc) a smoot is 67".
Smoot declined to re-smoot for reasons I can FReemail. Smoot's smoot, then an MIT student, agreed to the re-smooting for the 25th anniversary and appeared for the procedure, but was 71". This obviously would throw off the measurement if the original procedure was followed, so re-smooting by the original procedure never occurred. However, the gathering was photographed for the plaque I mentioned above.
It didn't really matter. Continental Construction Company of Cambridge had agreed to make the new concrete sidewalk slabs a smoot long, instead of the usual 72" increments. By the time MIT wanted to re-smoot the bridge using smoot's smoot, Continental Construction had already re-smooted it, so the students just added the original smooting acknowledgments. The current slabs are a smoot long.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Works gave two originally smooted sections of sidewalk to the MIT museum at a ceremony.
True story.
My kids grew up with a smoot being used as a measurement around the house and were eager for their first real smootitization.
