[blackbullet]

Ok...so last week on thursday i went out with my friends to tried out our cars.. i tried out my friends car a 91 nissan sentra SE-R and lost like 3 car lane... some other guys came along and wanted to race me with a 89 Corolla GT-S and i smoked him like 3 car or so... i think i rev and set my rpm too high..i set it at 3rmp... is that too high??. because off the launch i took the se-r even though they have lsd... i was thinking if i rev too low it might bogg on me...well just a story to tell...what do you guys think??

There's a riced out Saturn at my school, lambo doors, etc etc. Obviously, some sort of idiot. I'm on my way home last night (keep in mind, it's been raining here, so the roads are wet as hell).

It's 2 lanes in either direction; I'm in the left lane and need to make a right turn at the light after the one I'm currently stopped at. Currently in the right lane is a bus (and a lot of cars behind that, including the saturn).

It's a VERY short block, so when the light turns green I punch it off the line just enough so my tires dont lose traction; I pull ahead of the bus, signal, and make my way over.

Well, it turns out that riced up Saturn I passed in the right lane decided that he didn't want to wait for all the cars in the right lane. He turned into the right turn lane; and rocketed through the intersection; past the bus, and tried to move into my car (which now occupies the right lane) without looking past the bus.

I honk at him, he swerves back, nearly hits the curb; swerves back again, nearly hits me, corrects, goes straight for 5 more feet; then slams on his breaks before he hits a police cruiser which is parked on the shoulder. He looses traction and slides- unfortunately I think he stops before he hits the cruiser- and even worse, I dont think there was anything in the cruiser.

This was all at speeds below 45 mph- no one was racing, my tach never got above 4k;

and still something insanely stupid happened because other drivers- especially ricers, are stupid.




Do I streetrace? Yes I do, from time to time. Do I recognize that it's stupid, immature, and dangerous? Yup- I haven't streetraced in about 5 months, give or take? I never had one close call, for which I am thankful, but I know if I do it, it's likely to happen.

I don't condone it. Lives are lost- but then, lives are lost no matter what you do; you could go through a green light and get hit by a guy running a red and die.

Streetracing increases those chances.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say in this post.
