An infamous taunt who sobbed in court after being forced to give up his beloved Holden Commodore has been jailed for promoting illegal street cars.
Andrew Drew, 23, of Melbourne, sobbed after the defense failed to resist an application forfeiting the beloved Commodore.
The car enthusiast was found to have organized and participated in illegal street rallies where he performed burnouts and stunts in front of thousands of people.
The proud Commodore owner posted several photos of the car to his social media accounts and is said to have promoted the illegal races using Snapchat.

“Okay, it’s that time of the week again, get your sets, get your 16-year-old s***s and let’s bring back the good old days,” Drew said in one of the messages.
‘You know the drill, no encounters at servos don’t bring us to our attention… If the police come to block them… remember we are against them… if they follow you, you go on a walk.
“Protect your friends when they change” [tyres] and stand ya f****n ground … first place will be sent at 9:29 PM. #f***vicpol #southdoesitbest.’
The Holden Commodore was placed under police surveillance after being spotted in several illegal street activities last November.

The vehicle, with the rego plates RN4MUK and sometimes draped in a Mexican flag, was tracked down last December, with agents linking the illegal meeting times and dates to Drew’s calls on Snapchat.
Authorities had broken up illegal gatherings in Melbourne’s southern and northern suburbs, with Drew encouraging rivalry between the two groups.
He also taunted the police via social media posts, once including “#f***vicpol.”
Drew tried to evade arrest by convincing an employee Caleb Cromarty, 21, that he was the driver of the vehicle.
His girlfriend, Zara Lunney-Adams, 20, transferred $1,000 to Cromarty to comply with the fraud, with Drew explaining that he needed him to “take the trap” for his “skid bulls***.”

In court, the prosecution said she was “an active participant from start to finish.”
He pleaded guilty Tuesday to coiled sedition and reckless conduct and was sentenced to a minimum of nine months behind bars.
Ms Lunney-Adams posted a photo with Drew on her Instagram stories Tuesday night, writing: ‘Me and baby will be by your side through it all, we love you forever, I promise you’ll be fine’.
In April, 20-year-old Drew tagged a photo of a positive pregnancy test with the caption “forever our baby,” and in August, the 20-year-old posted a video of the couple releasing pink confetti cannons and revealing that the baby was a girl.
