^^^hahahaha, that's really funny. Well, I've been doin' some "so called" racing myself and I just don't know. I could never get myself to slow down. About 60% or 70% of the time i find myself doin' 180kmh on the highways! Yeah I know that's bad, but I haven't gotten into a serious accident yet. Yeah I know, that doesn't mean I won't because I know that the more I drive like a maniac, the better chance I have of being hurt.
I still have about 3 years to get to the 25 year mark. Only time will tell if I make it or not...

This after noon since we got to leave school early, I was driving down a 30-35 mph road and then this S10 comes flying up behind me, I watch him for a moment, and then when the road turned to 45mph, I got on it and pulled ahead and left him behind a bit, I look at my speedometer, and Im doing 55mph, he starts to speed up and I think to myself Ill take him when we get into the dual lane..
No!, I tell myself no, think about what all they have told you, so i then slow down to about 45mph, and then cruise at about 40mph the rest of the way home, Im driving alot better thatn I have beeb lately, on my way back to my house I looked down and I was doing 50, then I made myself slow down back to about 40,
yeah, there may still be hope for me.
p.s. lol, Rod would be proud....maybe..

What i dont understand is why in the first place would you say to yourself "Look at this guy, going faster than me, I can't stand that, I must go faster than him!."
The problem isnt that you don't know how to drive, it's that you seem to have some problem with self image or whatever. You need to chill out a little man, who cares if someone else is speeding, you don't have to match there stupidity, if someone is coming up on your *** doing 60 in a 45 and your doing 50 you should let them pass not try to race them.
What are you trying to prove by racing people on public roads? That 99% of the time are in no safe condition for any kind of racing to begin with.
no offense but you drive a 1.8 liter automatic, again no offense, but that's a slow car, why are you trying to race people?
You sound like a good buddy of mine who used to street race all the time with a SOHC Saturn SL1 sedan and thought he was hot ****, until he rolled it and luckily was unharmed.
I'll tell you right now, My dad taught me how to drive when i was 13 years old, and my dad is probably the best driver i know. And since day one he's taught me that the best drivers aren't the people that can drive fast and avoid accidents, the best drivers are the ones who don't put themselves at risk for accidents in the first place.
just keep that in mind next time somebody is coming up behind you 20+ mph than you

Everyone I know says Im a good driver, IMO, I dont think I can drive for **** when I come to performance driving, but hey then again, its a slow car, why worry? haha
as far as racing people, around here, Its not much to outrun many of the cars around here, apperently there arent that many fast ones, mostly high geared trucks like my buddies but I keep with it...
ANYWAYS, but wasnt that what I just said? how Im trying to cut back on the fastness?
oh well...long weekend anyways...I may be imagining this im so tired..
