whatever you do, just dont race them. unless its on a track. i have first hand experience of what its like to have a pedestrian collide with the front of your vehicle at 50 mph. it will change your life forever, and its hard to even get back in the driver's seat after that. and even if you are not at fault, everyone wants your head to roll. i get people pulling dangerous stunts all the time, nearly hitting me to get noticed. especially motorcycles and pickup trucks for whatever reason. i just crank up the radio and count my blessings.

That is the right approach.

Amen Pauly..That is what the Track is For..

I have done some things in my day that I am lucky nothing happened..And Now at 52, I just cannot take the chance.Way too much to lose...So I lose every street race because i don't race...Much less fun than years ago, but just the way it is...
