Welcome and nice kill.

welcome to the board... but if you did that kill on the street, then 1, I don't consider it a kill, and 2, I won't talk to you for a week.

how is racing someone on the street and beating them not a kill?

94SolGrl · #6 04-11-2003, 06:46 AM

because street racing is stupid, and when you get busted, which you will, you give imports an even worse rep among cops than they already do. Also, it's dangerous. Just pay $15 and keep it at the track. I don't care if you beat a viper on the street. It's not a kill because it was on the street. I got busted once, and got let off way more lightly than I should have, and now I literally have police escorts wherever I go. There are always cops near me. You think that's fun? It's not. Quit being fucking stupid.

uhmm....i understand that u disagree w/ street racing, but its not exactly the worst thing we could be doing. how is it stupid if we're on a 4 lane road with no turn on/offs from side streets? same as being on a track jus w/ being AT a track. 'm not saying that all street racing is fine (i completely am against racing in an out of traffic, or on roads where there are turn outs), but for some ppl there isn't a track nearby at all, so it isn't as "simple" as spending $15 to goto a track. ooo...btw its $28 up here, so u got it a lil cheaper where u are.

u must live in a small town or somethin if the cops can go outta their way jus to FOLLOW u, AFTER they were lenient on u...i mean, i get followed, yea, but it comes with the territory WHETHER U STREET RACE OR NOT.

soooo...in conclusion GOOD KILL...

(an im not tryin to start a flame war w/ u solgrl...jus adding my opinion is all

)

A Del Sol is a sports car?, I always saw them as a beach car...

I disagree w/ streetracing also but I also agree w/ KrNxRaCer00. It ain't like he's selling drugs to kids or driving drunk. Streetracers get bad reps because of all the stupid ass kids doing it now. Streetracing has been around forever and it can be contolled.

I beg to differ with you. I, along with many other people in this forum would consider it a legitimate kill.

All I'm sayin is that everytime someone gets busted, imports and sols get a worse rep. And it is stupid... even if you're on a freakin 4 lane road with no turn ons or offs... you know what happens if you wreck? Everyone else bails. So you're sittin there with a fucked up face and a fucked up car and no one around. Sounds great, huh? No track near you? That's fine... Coolest thing you can do.. start up a club of people in your area who wanna do it, call the P-O, and tell em what you wanna do and they'll usually let you block off an unused street.

And KrNX, the difference between going on an off road somewhere and going to the track is that the track is a controlled environment, and if anything happens, they have people there to get you the fuck out.

But you know what? whatever y'all... your fuckin cars, your fuckin asses. But a street kill is not a kill.

u think we haven't tried to get them to close a road? its not as easy as "hi, we want u to close a road so we can race." yea...thas gonna happen. u live in ur own little world don't u?

wut's w/ all the harsh words? we're sayin our views quite civilly an ur jumpin all over us.

do u realize how long street racing has been around? uhm...long time before any of us were around, an did it die jus cuz ppl got a "bad rep?" nope...it never will. its not street racing that gives us a bad name, its ppl who race in an outta traffic, rev' on everything that moves, an whom don't kno wut they are doing at all tryin to act like they are the ish.

one last thing...the point about ppl ditching an being left there? uh...everyone who i street race w/ knos the threats an dangers of it. once our track opens to the public, we'll be going there every weekend, but sometimes u jus gotta get a race in. ur saying u've NEVER since ur street racing episode raced someone from a stop light? 'm sorri, but ur points jus don't really mean much, considering that they are things that all the ppl i race w/ kno already.

one last time...GOOD KILL

Street racing can be controlled. You say that it just gives imports a bad name but in reality streetracing has given every generation's cars bad reps. When it was Camaro's and Charger's that young people were driving cops profiled them and in isn't any different now. Oh and what reputable state or county police force would block off a road for streetracing? That is the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. I work with many a state patrolman and there ain't no way that shit would go down. Another thing what kind of people do you hang out with that would bag on you when you screw up and crash? I'd look for some new "FRIENDS" if I were you. Overall before you start using harsh words and calling people stupid for their take on things remember, it's a forum and you should have an open mind before you post.
