If you want to race someone at 100 mph, go to a track, that way if anything goes wrong, you don't hurt someone else.
And as far as the excuse that "it costs too much to go to the track" or "I don't have a track near me" then don't do it, simple as that.

no way? so you watch TV too? lol those commercials are so stupid "just tell them you were too busy gettin' high..."
I dunno any statistics so I wont lead you to believe i do, but I can tell you from personal experience - I've been pulled over 4 times, 3 for speeding, and I wasn't high for any of them. In fact - after each one of those experiences I wished I was - i wouldn't have been speeding if I was stoned. Actually, i was driving around yesterday with my friend and I actually told him I drive better after I smoke. OK, so maybe not BETTER, but whenever I smoke I actually go the speed limit without really trying to.
driving normally - a rule of thumb I use is 5 over the limit is the perfect speed - not too fast but not the deathly slow speed limit. i mean really....who goes 25 in a residential? ever try just 30?? it feels MUCH better. but after I smoke its back to 25 without even thinking about.
I think law makers, or whomever regulates speed limits, were stoned at the time of deeming safe speed limits.

i worked in an ER as a trauma pca and tech for 3 years. you'd be amazed how many people actually DO test positive for marijuana and the like after getting in an accident, fatal or not.

Can you prove that Alcohol was the cause of an accedent? It may not have caused it, but it sure as hell contributed to it. and as you said, ther are a lot of bad drivers out there, do you really want them to be worse drivers because they are High?

2nd - when I smoke and drive - I feel like a slow my role and actually follow the speed limits/general laws that I don't when not stoned. Thats just me, i don't speak for anyone else.
3rd - I never sa......ah, f*ck it. no need to elevate this haha. here it goes:
you're right. you win, i lose. You're the best, im the worst, you rule, i drool. you're the king, im the peasant, you're the general, im merely a civilian. POT IS BAD. don't smoke it. smoking it makes you a criminal and a loser. if you do you will die, because its a drug, and drugs are bad. very, very bad.

what's scary is people who have been in an accident drunk driving or under the influence of pot talked just like you.
many people, for some reason, have this fallicy that they drive "better" when they are drunk or high, because they think "oh i have to be extra careful cuz i'm drunk/high".
regardless of how careful or better you think you drive when high/drunk, the fact of the matter is you don't. your reaction time is slower and your driving is impaired. whether it "feels" like it or not.

I am really tired of hearing about how you all think our cars are fast and how you raced people and how you are better than everyone else. Grow the fawk up. All of you.
Then might I ask what youre doing here?
You sound about 16 yourself, the majority of your posts Ive read have been immature and pointless. Why dont you take your own advice and "Grow the fawk up"?
As far as people driving while high/drunk, no question its dangerous but its up to the person getting behind the wheel. Everyones free to make their own decisions in life, just be prepared to deal with the consequences should something go wrong. Weed is a much safer drug than alcohol or even cigarettes in my opinion, but as with all three, the problem is addiction not the drug.

i wouldnt have to keep posting like that if people here would understand what "DONT RACE ON PUBLIC ROADS" means in the first place. When did this thread turn from some guys telling us just how horrible and reckless of drivers they are to picking on me? Seriously no matter what I say you guys spin so there is no point fighting. If you want to continue arguing with me then yell at a pillow and pretend its me. Stop spamming the forums.

I didn't say i drive better, in fact i think i said "its not that I drive BETTTER...."
Its like this...when you're driving do you always watch your speedometer to make sure you're going exactly a certain speed? No, ya don't. You drive at a speed that feels comfortable to you at the time. Sometimes you feel like driving fast so you put yourself in human radar mode and drive extra carefully. Sometimes, you feel driving real slow so you drive in the slow lane and chill. But either way you don't look exactly how fast you're going. My point was simply that whenever I drive after I smoke that my natural impulse is too drive slowly..and when I actually looked down to the speedometer I usually am going the posted speed limit.

The original poster of this thread is a dumbass, let me tell you right now no joke if someone hit me cus they were 'street racing' like a 'badass' i wouldnt be as mad is if they hit my mom or dad or sister or anyone else in my family, i would kill anyone that injured/kills any family member of mine at all cost of my life. If some dumb**** wants to race be smart about it and do it on some road where youll be the only one to fly off a ditch and die. Damn man you obviously should have your ****ing license taken away for good. "Some twerp in an auto civic that thinks he knows how to drive" good of you to judge, i drive an auto and im not a****ing twerp, but i know i can drive. Whether its the speed limit, 5 over or 60 over. Who the **** are you to judge?
FLY OFF A ****ING CLIFF YOU QUEER AND TAKE UR CAR WITH YOU!!!!
FLY OFF A ****ING CLIFF YOU QUEER AND TAKE UR CAR WITH YOU!!!!
" But that still won't stop me if a challenge is brought forth." Right, so u can prove yourself to them right? So you can be a ****ing true badass of the road u ****ing ****** *** bitch....

Is this what this site is going to become?
Now, I like my Civic. I like the fact that it is easy to work on. I like the fact that it gets almost 37 miles to the gallon with gas at about 2 bucks a pop. It is not slow, but it is not fast either.
I remember coming to this site to learn about the little differences in the 7th gen Civic. But sometimes I log on and either get really pissed off or feel that my brain has been sapped of cells. It is rather amusing sometimes, the scam artists, the attention ******, and the wanna bees. I get little wanna bees rev on me all the time, I just ignore them and keep going.
I wish that this site had a button to ignore all NEW MEMBERS. Or maybe they need to be signed on for a bit before they could actually post.

Yeah, I didn't read through the whole thing. The topic starter is a retard. You race on the streets cause you watched a movie right? That movie would be TFATF Crap correct? You think it's cool to race on the streets attempt to impress people? You, sir, are a moron, and I hope you flip your car into the ditch without touching anyone else. You're no better than a drunk driver.
