Mods, is this true? I can drive my car well over the speed limit and that's cool with you guys? ...or do you want to shut this f'er up?

technically the rule is no talk of illegal street racing.

but i'm sure you probably already reported me so :tiphat:

I think a econobox is a good car to to teach a kid responsibility and humility. But I'm boring.


On a related note, a kid at my high school got a viper for his first car. Rolled it and his parents bought him a landrover.

:tiphat:

I must be the only one who has done both the above.

:eek:

:wtf2:

its

:tiphat: Just F'ing with ya.

I actually saw the "a" I typed and thought about editing my post because I am probably the World's largest grammar Nazi haha.

I see no need to close the thread really. Mostly people here aren't talking about themselves doing anything illegal.

I don't see the point of not having fun in this car, as long as it's safe (but not paying a fee to take it to some track that is either a hundred miles away or that doesn't even exist in your state).

My daily commute bores the **** out of me in the Z. Step on the gas a little when it opens up and it becomes somewhat bearable. However, taking it up north to the twisty roads, that's fun. Even if I never go over 60mph.

Guess I'm on the wrong forum.

I drive within the legal limits on the street and take my car to the track or autocross on weekends which makes me a boring idiot.

:Goes back to the Track section and brake subforums due to butthurt:

I drive within the limits too. "Reasonable and prudent" is the law. ;)

You interpret it they way you do, we interpret it the way we do. No one is wrong.

I believe 'reasonable and prudent' was the law in Montana when they had no speed limit. But if there is a posted speed limit, that is the law, and you are on the wrong side if you are speeding.

I don't think 100 mph on public roads could ever be considered 'reasonable and prudent'. However, I'm not about to sit here and tell you I've never done it :rolleyes:

Also, I do not feel that he deserved to get into an accident. But there are consequences to every action. While getting your Z impaled on a guardrail is probably pretty low on the risk assessment list, having a major accident is probably tops on the list. And that's what happened. No surprises here. If he was drunk and depending on his injuries, the accident might be worse punishment than the courts would give him. And at least he didn't injure someone else.

About 3 years ago,I got t-boned by some *** hat doing 70km in a 50km zone. He ran a stale yellow which he should of stopped for. There's definately a grey area when it comes to this subject. I myself get to where I want to go in a timely fashion,but there are a lot of people who speed that don't really have a lot of business being on the road in the first place and have cars they can't handle.
Friggin guy hit me with a kea forte too. :shakes head:

It's defined here in Arizona as "beyond reasonable and prudent", which is why we can get away with 75-80 in a 65. :tup:

It's not like I do it all the time. Sometimes I just want to actually enjoy driving. Otherwise I ******* hate it, but there's no other option here in this state. Mass transit is almost non-existent.

Who drives straight anymore? Im usually drifting to the places I need to get to, highway and all.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd here we go lol

i need my pre-lunch time entertainment

I figured work was miserable

precisely :shakes head:

Haboob,

Have the reopened Arizona Motorsports Park yet? I know it was shut down for a while.

is google not working today? lol

:stirthepot:

I heard bing punched them in the sack this morning

dang, I live like 5min away from there.

lol. I did google it, and found that they were going to close in like 2011, had closed with plans to re-open in 2013, and on their official website it doesn't mention anything. I didn't go Sherlock Holmes and open the track calendar or anything though. Maybe you can enlighten me.

edit: their track calendar is up and running and they are open. Haboob - you should check it out, it's in your town!

Read T and FPenvy, u guys need a mintervention, come to dirty jersey, ill settle this

but it's cooold up there! And I'm going to pick up an E30 today in SC :tup:

well the calendar typically is a dead giveaway.....

Event Calendar | Arizona Motorsports Park

per the links in their calendar it seems to be open with lots of scheduled events.

could it be a mistake idk i'm not gonna go all Sherlock and call lol

..........but jersey sucks lol

:stirthepot:

I guess that was pretty "Elementary" :tiphat::tup:

Although

I think they have, as I've looked up driving courses (alternatives to the overpriced Bondurant) and they list that as a location.

Though, I haven't been by to see if it's open for public type use, etc. And as much as I would want to take the Z out there, I can't waste away my tires. :icon17: Not in my budget at the moment.

If only my OEM right rear was useable, I'd throw the OEM wheels on and take her out there, but it looks like it took a ton of metal from an IED. :(

Come on man "he deserved it" that's a little harsh, yes from what we see he was wrong but I don't think impalement is justified. lol

I don't think anyone said he deserved it. I did say he deserved to have his car and license taken away. :drama:
