streetracing is :down:

you guys are looking at your mods as a confidence booster that you can drive faster and safer, when you might not be able to (i dont want to offend you and ive never seen you guys drive, so i dont know how skilled you are). Yea, ok sure I speed, and im sure others do, but i'm doing MAYBE 10 over now (just keeping up with traffic) which doesnt necessarily make it right, but it is safer than racing.

Racing or any kind of competition makes your adrenaline pump really hard, and that can cause for tunnel vision. Cops train long and hard so when they are pusruing at fast speeds they see EVERYTHING.

and how can it be this rush like none other?? a real racer is gonna want to put 110% into racing his car, not having to worry about if another car is gonna jump out of a road or something, or other obstacles in the road. You shouldn't have those distractions if you want to race hard IMO.

and if you want a RUSH like none other, race a dodge viper like i did in skip barber school.. that was like none other. No 4 cylnder can compare to that.

I've been in 5 accidents in my lifetime, none were for racing, but they ALL sucked. losing your car for a couple months while a body shop repairs it humbles you a LOT. but i still didnt learn, i kept messing up.. and it was stupid stuff too, 4 out of the 5 accidents i had were UNDER 30 miles an hour. the 5th was with RiceburninVTEC (i love ya bro, but i have to say this) and he just proved to me that day, that you guys are too confident in your abilities, and you guys aren't mature enough yet to learn from it. as you start spinning out of control, and you see the back end almost clip an innocent drivers car, then you slam into a hill, you see the SKY through the PASSENGER window think youre gonna flip, then spin out and finally stop.... yea.. if that doesnt teach you to take it to a track..nothing will. I wasn't even the driver, and it put me in my place.

sorry for such the long rant, but it needs to be said. You can go on driving and doing what you want, i dont care, when your liscence is suspended or youre making 400 INSURANCE payments everymonth, barley affording the priveledge of driving, then MAYBE just maybe you will learn this.

[edit] oh i drive a PT Cruiser with rims, exhaust and ground effects, a STOCK honda hatchback and eventually a CRX with JDM parts and mild modifications.
