Enough is Enough

Post by gecko »

An elderly couple were killed on our roads last night due to the recklessness and irresponsibility of street racers in performance cars. We all must remember that our cars are not just fast toys but they are potentially a lethal weapon. please drive safe and obey the speed limits. our hearts go out to the families of those taken tragically on our roads.
while we all enjoy the thrill of how our cars drive we are not the only people on the roads. The 2 young men involved in the incident must now live the rest of their lives knowing the blood they have spilt.

    yeah, honestly the Track/ strip is ten billion times better than street racing,

    track/strip = no police, go hard as you want and dont have to worry about crashing into a light pole.

    hearing that kind of news really pisses me off.

    not only where inoccent lives lost, but it also paints a bad stereotype for all people with performance cars.

    I was ready to get out the car and smash him one but all I did was told him that not all of us are like that just cas we have sports cars :!:

    hard to distinguish between car enthusiasts and Street D**K Racers,
    - a general mis concept that they are the same. :?

    We loves our FTOs, but not all of us are street racers... :P

    Gotta love the media brain washed drones of our society... so by that mentality every sports car driver must be street racer... everyone with a Porsche must be a street racer...

    I wonder if the above mentioned drones know that the top of the line BMW X5 can blow away an FTO... sh*t! X5 drivers must be streert racers too!! :o

    F*cken morons.... and even if you did challenge someone of this opinion with something along the lines of a CAMS licence, do think they would know what the f*ck that was? I highly doubt it.

    Excuse me for being right, but both cars that were involved in the collision with the elderly couple were Commodores.

    Hence, Commodore drivers = street racers and should have their licences revoked :D I love journalistic logic. NOT!
