This topic reminds me of a post on some other car forum where a guy wondered why his Lexus IS300 spun out and lost control in the wet, hitting a tree, after he had Armor All'd his tires... the whole tire. He thought the sidewalls looked so good all wet and shiny he decided to grease up the tread too.

EDIT: Found the thread HERE on a Lexus IS forum.

Sorry for the

but it's too funny.

Not only is that driver stupid enough to drive that way, but also irresponsible for having someone else. If you're gonna crash, don't take someone else down with you. What if someone was walking their dog or there was a bicyclist when the Z crashed? I'm sure we'd all appreciate turning our heads and seeing half a car fly at our heads.................

So, as long as you've done it, it's ok? Have you ever killed someone? Would that make murder ok?

Just checking to see what the boundries of your common sense are...

Atleast they are still alive; they have someone to thank.

I disagree with your blanket statement re: young drivers, I went through a lot of training before getting my pink and white piece of plastic.

I am stating that there is a time an place for everything...it is not a matter of people streetracing or not it is a matter of how smart they are...where they choose to have said contests of speed...with tracks closing due to sound ordinances, pollution, whatever street racing is only going to get worse...contrary to popular belief you can create a controlled enviornment on the street...this allows for racers and spectators to enjoy themselves...possibly make a little cash and of course see who is faster...as stated I have been a street racer for a long time...in a controlled street enviornment (we use a 2 mile strech in an old industrial park) I have never seen an accident...the main issue is since street racing is such a generic term many other things get lumped into this catagory...like the guy doing 100+ on the beltway during rushhour, or the two idiots running redlights at speed through busy intersections, etc. There are safty margins you can build into any situation...the ability and restraint to do that comes from age/expierence

This coming from a person that talks about how much he likes speeding in his BMW in his sig, sounds like you have that restraint thing down and for the record I am not talking about not giving kids SUVs I am talking about sports cars...Dare I ask what kind of training you went through?
