I guess I forgot my excessive ~10 MPH over the speed limit driving compares me to people racing 100+ MPH down public roads in groups of 50-100+ people, what was I thinking?

Besides, I've been driving that way for close to 15 years and never been close to getting into an accident, so I guess I must be doing something right.
A bit over 10, try 20-30 over on Uni just to get food. Is that smart? How many peds do you endanger with that type of driving? Not particularly unsafe for you, but the people you might effect are in a much higher risk situation just crossing the street and not by their choosing.

Even if it were only 10 over, who is the judge over how much more danger you put people in? It is faster than deemed safe by the civil engineers who designed that area. Comparing the two things is a little different for sure, but maybe endangering people without a choice to be there and involved in your illegal activity is worse than people endangering themselves that do choose to be there. Judgement call, my point is that until you are innocent, pointing fingers and calling someone else a dumbass over a judgement call is just not cool. If you are a perfect law abiding citizen have at it.

I doubt I was going 50-60 MPH down Uni, that would have been a ticket for sure.The line between my driving and street racing, in large groups, is a very thick one.How you think my moderate speeding, and street racing in large groups is comparable, in any way, is beyond me.And you thinking the potential for danger in driving 40 MPH, as apposed to 100+ MPH, is in anyway close, is just rediculous.

Whatever.

What Mike is trying to say is that wrong is wrong. Yeah, one is more wrong that the other, but it is still wrong. Usually the street racing is taking place at a remote area too, so innocent bystanders are at a minimum, unlike on University. 20-30 over doesn't guarantee you a ticket either, there may not have been a cop there at the time.

I am not taking any sides on this, I haven't been to a large street race in a long time, but I still drive too fast and get into races. I am going to say to each his own, and let it go.

I'm not saying it stupid becuase its wrong or illegal.I'm saying its stupid because of the seriously increased possibility for people, innocent or not, to get hurt/killed and it brings bad publicity to the whole "import scene" and those who drive "sport compacts".

i just heard about this from my cousin, i guess people dont really care what happend yesturday (nothing happend except the cops just told them to go home i guess?).. its like they just shrugged it off and raced again tonight. anyways i personally think this is all a waste of time and its just not worth it.. also i believe that those who actually do race should some how get punished, it pisses me off that they get away clean.

Opinions are like a$$#@!&s, everyone has one and you may not agree with everyone elses.

How can you agree with an asshole?

I'm not saying I never raced, because I have

I'm not saying I don't speed cause I do

I'm not saying I don't smoke, cause I do

and I also look at A LOT of internet porn


I got 3 "NO FRONT PLATE DISPLAYED" and 2 "NO PARKING 30 FT STOP SIGN POSTED" tickets in the last week, and I know I did it... I don't walk around bitching about "cops with nothing better to do"

And street racing is a HUGE problem, so it's what they have to do. Police serve the general public, and the general public is majorly OPPOSED to street racing.

What I said was for people to learn from MY mistakes. If you know it's wrong, why the FUCK do you do it, and if you do do it, DON'T bitch about it.



When, and I mean WHEN, and not if, someone dies doing that, you can say that I told you so, and I will hold no pitty. I will feel bad for those who are affected by it.

So you go race, cause it's YOUR decision, and you die. Your parents, your friends, your fellow DSMStyle folks here have to lay you to rest. You are willing to chance that so you can get off on using cars to see who's dick is bigger. Your parents cry themselves to sleep. The girl who fell in love with you 2 years ago goes into a depression and starts using drugs or something, Endless unseen consequences come from stuff like this. I am reaking the fruits of these consequences as we speak from things like underage drinking, smoking, even promiscuity.

I'm an asshole here because I don't want to see any of you in the news, or in a morgue. So if that makes me an asshole, then I'M AN ASSHOLE.


And you all talk big online...

You wanna have a real big boy discussion, I'll be glad to oblige...

So were there any fast cars there? Or is it like Rock Falls on Import day?
