Just curious, what ever happened to Chris?

So does that mean we can stop going back and forth now?

i beleive this is false... if ur drunk then u are intoxicated and not thinking clearly. streetracing u r not intoxicated. plus, sometimes streetraces only get up to speeds that would be considered "normal" for some people in everyday driving on the highway. think about it

i would like to add one more theory i think is important...

consider this logic:

what is streetracing? its basically speeding thats all it is. yes u are accelerating a bit faster, but when it comes down to it its just a speeding ticket. people speed everyday, i dont see how its anymore "dangerous" than speeding

omg, you have to be joking right?

that's like saying driving in the wrong lane is just like driving in the right lane, just on the other side of the road. it's not anymore dangerous.

or that weaving in and out of traffic is just like changing lanes. not anymore dangerous.

my brain is hurting now.

no... i wasnt comparing an legal activity to an illegal activity. i was comparing a illegal activity to another illegal activity. speeding and racing are both illegal. im just saying whats the difference

One's a violation of traffic laws, one's a criminal statue. There is a difference. My example was just as retarded as yours.

It does matter when the private owner wishes to follow the law!
