Everyone have a fun and SAFE 4th of july!

 

Wow.... So much stuff was blown up last night! Artillery shells are the best thing ever! Did everyone have a good 4th before the rain hit?

Hey Adam I keep forgetting to ask what your e-mail address is so I can send you those hood pics?

 

Was at the lake all day, heber springs had a great display at sandybeach!!! It was awesome watching it while out in the boat..... We got hit w/rain but it was still a real nice day. Perfect temperature, Although i was a lil pissed they dont rent jet ski's any where on the lake now!!!!! i was hyped to get all crippled up LOL.

 

BTW anyone that hasnt seen the movie The Hangover, LMFAO OMG this movies will make you **** yourself it is so funny!!!!

 

Last night was a good night. Fireworks eh... Tab from the saucer.. eh. Tearing up a few roads with Steve and Brad and not getting busted... win. And yes, that movie is hilarious.

 

enjoyed hanging with ya'll..... tearing down the hill on Cantrell at 110.....sweet.....and too many bourbon and coke afterwards.....

 

9 hours door to door yesterday... never saw a runner until I got on the last highway 20 mins from the apartment... an 03/04 Silverstone with a cut up hood, fiberglass bumper, homemade exhaust, and about 30 dings and scratches pulled next to me and we ran twice from 50 to 80... eh.

So.... speaking of...

 

Nice Rabbit............

 

110 on Cantrell? I assume you're kidding.

 

I passed TJ and he was doing 80 when I went around him, I looked at my speedo and it read 110....good tires........and no I was not drinking....yet

 

I know I'm a huge p***y on drives, but seriously... kinda surprised you'd be down for that on Cantrell. I've never said anything about the other runs, but I dunno anywhere else, I wouldn't have much of an opinion on it I suppose.

 

 

serious? not really, just struck me as odd. Having seen your share of carnage on Cantrell, I'd think you had more respect for that road and others on it. Like I said tho, the other crazy **** you guys do is a constant source of amusement. You (and the others) have never really struck me as being all that dangerous to anyone but yourselves and I have no beef with that.

 

I'll say this... people don't need to drive beyond their safe limits and should give roadway respect where its due. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, which is the premise you have to understand to accept the legal repercussions of "running" with a group in the instance that something happens. (culpability vs. deniability) A good reason why I carried a $300k insurance umbrella and pre-paid legal services between 2006 and 2008.

Example: "I spun a 180 in Brad's neighborhood because I didn't let my tires warm up."
Solution: 60 in a 25 through "that neighborhood" isn't giving the proper respect to the roadway and environment and puts more than just the driver at risk.

I've also said that there is a difference between safe driving and legal driving. Going 40 down Cantrell Hill in anything smaller than a pickup truck with proper equipment and safe tires/brakes during high visibility and low traffic is safe... albeit illegal.

Running a modified 350Z 100mph on an open 2 lane divided highway with good visibility is arguably "safe" for a short time... again illegal.

I won't judge their actions, I wasn't as guilty but I certainly wasn't innocent, but I kept it within what I knew were my "safe" boundries.

 

for the record, I wouldnt hesitate to take the passenger seat on the Dragon with you or Steve. I know you guys drive well and stay within your limits. Glad your drive was uneventful. I'm not really into judging anybody, just wanted to point out the lunacy of that on Cantrell. It's packed with horrible drivers that are constantly doing the unexpected, maybe not as much as University and Asher, but it still attracts its share of unpredictable freaks. In retrospect, 40 or 100 probably doesnt change your chances of an accident there, it's most likely not going to be your fault. Man... I hate Cantrell. So happy it's no longer part of my commute.

 

Brad do you get college credits for your banters here?

 

that what I was put on earth for..............too amuse you guys...........

 

Do I make your head hurt?

 

For the record, we were on Cantrell but there was no one around, and I was goosing Steve so he passed me. Now if there were folks around of course we wouldn't have acted like jackasses but seeing as we're all adults who aren't mouthbreating morons, it wasn't THAT big of a deal. Was it illegal? Yes. Was it unsafe? That's arguable. Was if fun? Yes.

Brad, nice Twiggy reference by the way.
