My brother in laws brother has a beutiful 4th geneation Honda prelude with some performance mods on it and a h22 vtech with 200hp so on and so forth..... His friends (one with an srt-4 and a volkswagon golf gti) decided it would be cool to race each other, so they go for it. The prelude downshifts and he gives them a blast. He hits 130kms and starts to fishtail. He ends up spinning and eventually hits a sidewalk and starts to flip over. After the flips he slides upside down like 80 ft, his car at this point was damged from top to bottom. He's fine, luckily he was wearing his seatbelt otherwise he would've snapped his neck.... Goes to show you why these kids think they're Micheal Schumacher and its the reason why our insurance is screwing us in the ass continuously like theyre running out of lube......

... see i agree with this post... kinda...
1) hell i know im guilty of throttleing it on the road... hell i had a 3s , however the safety of others will always come into effect... if i on the road and i open her up on occasion if i was gonna leave him behind i wouldnt bother... i know what i can do... or if for some reason i didnt feel safe, i have no problem stopping... granted i know that you cant make it completely safe... but there are things you can do to make it safer... for yourself and others.... for example dont let your pride get the best of you, only do it on a place that you know VERY well, if you HAVE to do it then do it at a time that there arent people on the road, and please if you can leave it for the track... im not saying this to support it but as we all know its not gonna stop... there will always be streetracing... so if this is you please take what i have said to heart .... for your life and the ones around you... -DMC |
