Not trying to preach but
 

Drag racer hits family's car head on, killing father and son, injuring mom, child - U.S. News

This is why to keep it on the track. Innocent people get caught in the cross fire.
Not on my soap box. Just a reminder it could happen to anyone.

:(:(sad

Another story where the driver that caused everything survives. I mentioned this before, and seen this multiple times in recent accident stories.

It's the sad shame of it all. Public roads are not race tracks. A few seconds of tomfoolery can produce a lifetime of tragedy.

Yesterday morning a guy with his GF in a 350Z modded to **** from what it looked like, wanted me to race him, I said nope... no road racing... even if I had a forced induction built motor I wouldn't do it. Getting people/yourself killed/injured and going to jail or getting a fat ticket at the very least and your car impounded is really not worth it...

I know it's not "as" sad as the OP's post but here's a story that just happened in my neck of the woods. A grandmother looses a son, and a daughter looses a dad. Sad times...

Clay David Wills Died After Crashing Into A Metrobus In Seat Pleasant, Md. | wusa9.com

Sad, but it's like drunk driving. You can preach and preach, unfortunately the message still does not get through.

:iagree:

yesterday a f*cking moron in a black suv was trying to race me... i sh!t you not... a stupid suv was racing me.... i wasnt even racing him lol anyways the retard nearly flipped his car and flashes his hazards :shakes head: i didnt even know what was happening and confused by everything :icon14:

lol sounds like something that happened to me. This minivan went flying by me one night and then slowed down. I passed him doing a reasonable amount of speed, and as I was just past him, he gassed it again and went flying by.

I was laughing to myself about how many "kill lists" I may have made it on by kids driving soccer-mom specials. :roflpuke2:

Looks like we each have our on story about some idiot trying to
egg us into doing something stupid. It's fun in a way because most
of the hillbillies are driving pieces of xhit no class. It would be like us
messing with a Lamborghini or GTR we'd come off looking like an ***.
370 drivers have to much class for that

yup..:mad:

Just dumb... dumb azz people.

My neighboring town is full of these cases, I think we've had more oncoming traffic deaths in the last 12 months than I remember in a long time, some of them taking 4 lives from 4 seperate families.

And maybe it's because of that that I am desensitized enough to ask how the hell a Scion broke 100mph?

A have a (nameless) friend who insists he only races people when there's nobody else around and that he's SO careful. I've tried time and time again to explain to him but it's always the same answer. Sadly, he's got a 500 hp Corvette so it wouldn't take much to get him into serious trouble... not to mention the fact that he's putting others at risk like the a$$hole in this story. :(

I can understand his mentality that he would only do it in an area or situation that the only person he would hurt is himself (I live in the boonies), but anytime a 4 lane road or town is involved, not only do I fear the consequences physically, but the shame that would come from people seeing just how immature I am. Hence I really really dislike trying to mess with people in general.
