I find I have stopped racing as much as I used to, since my last vehicle got totaled (not in a racing incident and not my fault). My car just isn't as fast and not as many people challenge me since my car still looks and is stock. But when I do race it is late at night, when there isn't anybody on the road except for me and the person I am racing. It is also on roads that have a speed limit of 55, and not heavily travleled. If you would have asked me this 6 months ago, I would have said hell yes, but now I am a little more careful. Highway is a different story, I have a an addiction to driving fast on the interstate.

main city roads i have rarely raced on....most of the time its deserted back roads....
and if i ever kill someone racing...I'll shoot myself

my official statement: streat racing is bad...BUT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT beware of the consequences......if you do the crime be prepared to do the time

Oh and obviously no one will race on roads with pedestrians, any no non-sense individual would know better then to do that.

I said yes just because everyone does it anyways... I think it's wrong, but it still happens. I tend to go a little faster on the interstate than needed. No speeding in town or residential areas though. I guess that's what comes with being an enthusiast!

I especially love the moments where I'm trying to merge on the freeway, mashing through the gears and all of a sudden there's a Corolla or a Civic going about 45 mph ON THE FREEWAY! WTF!?

My favorites are the dumbasses going the speed limit in the left hand lane (for those who don't know the speed limit down here was, for a little while, lowered to 55 by the EPA). Everyone has to dodge that little dipshit because we are all going 80-90MPH.

my previous sentence...wasn't meant for an easy way out of the consequences...I'm just saying how bad i'd feel if i ever kill myself...thats why i never race on roads with pedestrians....or roads with 3 or more cars in sight
maybe about 6 months ago i would be different...but i've kinda grown up since then..and won't just race anywhere <--- but it seems i haven't totally grown up...cuz i still race

I neither condone, nor condemn street racing, I've done it more than a few times and won, and I've gotten spanked a few times too. Who cares, like they say, its all fun and games until someone loses an eye..........
