First of all, I must say, great post, I could not agree more. No lock, and stuck. I also fixed the little spelling error in the title
.
Secondly:

I think you need to go reread the Bill of Rights, because unless I missed something, breaking laws is not a right. Putting the lives of others is not a right. Although, I urge you to give that argument to the cop writing you up a 25 point ticket after your busted for street racing, which
will happen. Also, I do believe I have found a new sig quote. Thank You.

Why not? Doesn't matter if your Mario Andretti driving a Maybach in the middle of Times Square. Street Racing is illegal, period. There is no excuse for it. Not to mention, how many "forms" of street racing are there? Is it oikay to bash all forms of burglary? How about rape? Are some forms okay and others not?

I have seen people in wrecks too. None of which morons. Actually, most were smart, obeying the law, broadsided by some idiot racing someone.

Like I said before, does the fact that you "kill it around 70 on a good day" make it legal? What if a burglar got caught and said "Oh I only take 50 bucks on a good day". Or a guy shoots someone and says "Well I only shot him in the leg". Real strong argument there.

Riiight. Im sure your lil' hot rod Cavy makes mince meat out of everything on the road. A nice strong, valid conclusion to a similarly strong, valid argument. And on top of everything, your cocky to boot.
Now, since everyone seems to be tossing in a pair of pennies, I think I'll do the same. I have street raced, and still do every once in a while. I won't deny that. I also won't deny that when I do that its stupid. I know it, anyone thats racing me knows it. As much as anyone can try to justify it, fact remains, breaking the law is breaking the law. And if you think I have no ground to stand on in my argument, I am currently riding on a probationary license for speeding until late June. I broke the law, paid the consequence. But, really, truly, there is no excuse whatsover, no justification, no matter how hard you try, to breaking the law. Period.
