Hey thanks for that dude. my sophomore year in highschool 4 of my friends were racing down a really bumpy road in the cuts of Merced. One had a lexus and the other I can't remember what he was driving - but either way they crashed going 120 (so the police report says) side by side on a tiny country road. 3 of them - all in 1 car - died. the other guy was hurt seriously and missed almost a whole year of school. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!!!! it really made me think about the way I drove and for the longest time I never raced anybody. Sometimes us guys can get ahead of ourselves and let our macho-ness take over. Ugh...bad memories....

but you guys know what - almost exactly a year after that another one of my friends, her 2 bros and baby sis, were shot and killed by their dad in their own house. I only mention this because we have to know its not just our driving that takes lives. I don't want to rant - just take care of yourself and others around you and the world (perhaps more so YOUR world) will be a much better place.

Yo bro don't worry about apologizing to us... we need to hear that every now and then. I've lost a couple people close to me from street racing... it was senseless... You just re opened my eyes to the dangers out there... keep your chin up man

yea, most here are smart enough to use common sense on the road. i still see asses speeding for whatever reason on the highway to save what......a lousy 3 minutes at most with all the traffic in every lane. saw an acura tl type s almost clip the front of a car in front of me tonight as the acura cut the car off and was only able to get 2 car lengths further before having to hit his break lights due to traffic. people are idiots, but it doesn't mean they need followers.

glad you are one of the smart ones to realize you have to watch out for others as well as yourself when behind the wheel.

street racing is dangerous i used to be all crazy driving and stuff but after i bought my civic i realized that i didnt wanna damage it or crash it so i try to drive as careful as i can. after 30k miles of driving no accidents so far
i go street racing but is like on 2 am and most of the people who go know what they are doing so its not that bad. i've been going for quite a long time now an ive never seen any accidents or anything like that
plus like some of u guys said before u look even more stupid when u trying to show off to ur friends by driving all crazy and stuff
when i have people in my car i alway go the speed limit. i dont wanna live with the burden that someone died because of my stupidity

This kid here in San Antonio was street racing and hit a couple's car and ended up killing them, he is in the hospital now but when he is out he will get charged with capitol murder... it's sad when the innocent get hurt.
