Lately all we hear is about these morons street racing in Z's and the majority are teenagers. Too many lives lost due to street racing and most of the time it's the innocent who lose.
Well said. Keep it on the track.

It takes time to get the perfect look, worth it though. Big shoes, you're looking at, will fill the guards out nicely.

If people street race, they deserve the consequences, but it really makes me angry when others are hurt when it goes horribly wrong. It's a tragedy for the people they leave behind.

most ppl who modify cars do streetrace... not as in you create a drag strip on the streets, but at the light you give it a little if some car steps up. But I think ppl who don't know how to drive shouldn't streetrace, thats when ppl get hurt!

that is not street racing. Thats just a little push to tell the other person whats up. Street racing is when you get all into it. Pushing it well over the posted speed limits.

Correct these morons killing innocent lives are going at it full throttle that is why the end result is usually death or a car split in half.

Do they?! Any sort of racing or a car used in anger should be best kept for the track.

Honestly, I don't know what is worse -- street racing or people who text while driving!

At least people involved in street racing are giving it their full undivided attention; there are just too many variables when it is not done on a close circuit/track -- not everyone actually going in the same direction and not everyone actually involved in the race or know that one is even taking place! Not that I am advocating street racing, but just saying...

As for people who text while driving, they are just letting themselves get distracted and that's when accidents happen. I mean honestly, is the text *that* important? If it is then pull over!

OK, enough said...

Ok Sk8fe I understand your point but I can't think of the last time someone texted traveling at 90 mph on surface streets. Texting is no way near the danger of street racing. A collision due to texting won't be as violent as street racing so you can't even compare both. Don't get me wrong here texting can be dangerous also and I can't wait till they totally ban that also.

Reason why I even posted that was just yesterday I saw a young driver with apparently friends from school or whatever (3 other passengers) start to pull out of an intersection where he had a red and was going to make a left turn (cross traffic) and someone going 55 the other way had to swerve and beep for that texting driver to wake up and realize that he did not have the green arrow yet! And I can't even count how many times I am stuck behind a slow driver thinking it *has* to be a blue-hair senior citizen and here it is someone texting! Arg!

Anyway, we were sort of on the subject and I spoke my peace. Enough said. You have your opinion; I have mine. The world still turns; we're all cool.

Now back to enjoying more LMS Z's...

^^ No harm done brother but I agree texting should have gone out with cell phone use. I mean everything else is regulated in this whack-as$ state ( Cali ) I live.

I totally agree with you guys, but as we got a tiny bit off topic, how bout an lms.

Taken two months ago, in our Winter, so still a bit stormy looking. Doesn't look modded, but it's become a sleeper. Lol.
