My Z was almost finished last night. Some morons in monster trucks decide they are going to race down a 2 lane road (busy road) near my house. The first guy gets around an oncoming car and the second comes out right in front of me (head on). He then tries to swerve to miss me and pushed the the little saturn he was passing into the ditch. I drove up on the side walk to miss him. They had to be going 70-80 mph in a 35 mph zone. Idiots! At least my baby is safe and sound, tucked back in the garage.

Worst part being that I felt the Police officer was just kind of like, oh well. Not like...... Let me get this radioed in so we can get these guys before they hurt someone else. I normally support my law enforcement wholeheartedly. But this particular guy did a very poor job showing his understanding of how serious this situation is. 2 maniacs chasing each other through residential streets in 4 ton+ vehicles.

UGH!

Charleston is full of idiots...it's a college town. I feel like I'm constantly dealing with morons. Glad you and your car are okay though. That could have been a pretty bad disaster...As much as i baby my car, if 2 jackass's in trucks hit me head on and i was still able to grab my shotgun, they'd have a bad day coming. In South Carolina you can stop a felony with deadly force. Law enforcement is hit or miss. Some cops are awesome and would do anything to help anyone...some do it for self gain and some because they are lazy and dont give a ****.

I live on JI and work in N. Charleston ............. I mostly see City of Chas. and N. Chas. police .................. I wish it were different but most just want to write speeding tickets ......... it's like they are obsessed with this and they think that's what they were hired for

Sounds good. Who else is interested in Mountain meet April 28th?


Also, there is a Clemson Autocross on March 31st. They made it back on campus so it should be a good turn out. I won't be able to make it that weekend but it would be great if some of the upstate guys go out and represent the Zs.
