street racing is stupid. putting other people's lives at stake is not something i feel comfortable doing.

you want to know about the consequences of street racing? i will let you talk to a guy over on club3g. his sister was hit when a street racer lost control. her and her boyfriend were standing outside of a local theater getting tickets when the car lost control and crashed into the crowd. 11 people were injured. the b/f pushed this guy's sister out of the way and ended up getting hurt worst than anybody else.

think about what you are doing before you decide to race.

Racing belongs on the track. Not that stupid "go fast turn left" racing, i mean Nascar.

If you want show off, grow up and take it to the track.

I only street race. but only cops. because they are teh slow. the lights on top there car's make them less air-o-dynamic, and when I bust out the stage 3 and a half NAWS I can always walk away from them.

If they call for back up I just kick my girlfriend out of the car, and when they all swirve to miss her at 250+ mph I can easily make my get away. The funny thing is they have never followed my girlfriend back to my house after swirving to avoid her. Silly Po-pos.

Either that or I throw doe-nuts out the window if my girlfriend is not with me.

I am just three more levels away from being able to afford another 1/2 stage of NAWS, though. so then I will have stage 4 NAWS, and I will not have to toss my girl anymore. This will make her happy, as she is starting to get pretty sick of wearing casts, and waiting for bruises to heal.


EDIT: I forgot to say:

Ok, Vin Diesel, since you didn't like my attempt to make this thread stop sucking complete kcoc, humor us all with some amazing street racing story you had with your front wheel drive super-chariot.

Or at least let us know "when you race" seeing as it was important enough to post a poll with options. even though you don't like the option I picked off your list.

I agree. I had a guy on the expressway coming home one night in an Integra LS, like a 1993 or '92...with ONLY a loud fart can trying to race me. Well, his car was running rich, because I could smell it coming out the tailpipe. He pulled up next to me, and I motioned at him that his car smelled and my girl was laughing...he backed off and stopped being an ****. :clap:

If your fucked up like some people... I have seen this on a movie and seen it at stop lights. You got the rednecked dumb fucks who just wait for a race. Both people revving their engines. The light is red, the **** jumps the gun and brakes, and the other person goes because they are listening to the other fucks engine and they go by seeing the douche bag jumping the gun to get someone hit. So the person goes while it's a red and someone rams him on the side.

That is kinda screwed up. I think I'd get out of my car and pull him through the window of his car and run him over...but hey, that's a personal opinion! :gitara:

i'm a redneck. i only race when I get tired of people ****!n with me. my racing is done at 3-6 AM and on windy twisty roads by MYSELF SO NO ONE ELSE GETS HURT and if i miss a turn or mess up only my car gets twisted. knock on wood hasn't happened yet.

racing on the street like eclipsed4utoo said is just stupid. think of what could happen. your 16 seconds of fun could land you 40 years in prison if it goes wrong.

for the people who think its fun to race around on the streets, check with your local laws. ask how much time you would get for a first degree vehicular homicide charge. in most states, it carries a maximum of 15 years in PRISON. and believe me, with the crack down on street racing that is going on all over the country, you WILL get the maximum. and for those 15 years, you can sit in a jail cell and remember that you killed somebody because you were acting stupid. have fun with that on your conscience.
