lthompson05 said:What happened for you to have sworn it off? I got the gist that you are/were really into it.
YORCHI said:Oh yes, I still love it, and it's a rush I only get from a handful of things, but I just realized I love my car too much to risk wrecking it before I really get to have fun with. It's great to run up against any car on the street and show them who's who, even if I get my a$$ handed to me, but that's all it is, is street talk...going to a track I have proof of how I did, and how crappy or good I might be. Will I still do it, I know I might be prone to down shift and punch it a few times still, but I am trying to minimize it greatly seeing as how gas is eating me up right now. That and I really don't want to break something in my car and play the warranty game with a dealer. Not enough cars around where I live anyways that really warrant a challenge against me now...not saying I have the fastest car in the universe, far from it, I'm a pretty mediocre driver but I have yet to seen anything greater than a Mustang GT roam around where I live. Will I still go to street races, yes but in someone else's car, will I still rev my car at lights, yes but just because I love how my car sounds...will I weave in and out of traffic, try and beat red lights, chase down every car that drives faster than me on the freeway...no. Biggest reason for that is my little brother, he drives like a typical ricer, and I'd rather get him out of that before it's too late...he already got his car impounded last week for not having a license...he swears he didn't do anything wrong, and where we live the cops do pull u over just because u look weird, but something about the way he drives and the friends he hangs out with make me not truly believe him...

YORCHI said:I seriously wonder if all the people that run our government never did anything their parents didn't want them to do as kids. At least Bill Clinton admitted he smoked pot. You can't just tell people what not to do without really understanding what it is they are doing and why they do it. We all race for the same reasons: adrenaline rush, testing of cars, bragging rights...no one that I know races to hurt themselves or other people, or to damage things on purpose.
I just can't wait to take over the world, I would try and implement some kind of racing registration at the DMV with a mandatory driving school as part of the requirement for getting your racing license. With that you'd be allowed to race at special events held by your local cities or counties. And if you were caught street racing and you had a racing license, your car would automatically be towed and you'd be forced to do community service at the local track to repay the debt.
