Default two for the vette

original content was innapropiate:
I am very happy because there is a guy I know that owns a mint 96 Z28camaro automatic with a shift kit, some type of computer upgrade, cold air intake, cat back system and 68,000 miles on the engine that was itching to run my vette for the last month or so because he knew that my corvette is a 92 with 192,000 miles, stock motor other than open lid, delteq ignition and no cats, so we got a chance to run them together and I'm pleased to share with you guys that what he thought was a washed out vette instead beat his precious camaro not once but twice. Thanks for listening

Yes I used to street race and yes I WAS just as stupid as you are, but I lost a good friend to a street race accident and grew up real kwik. Secondly street racing kill stories are a bannable offense and this thread will be locked down simply because of content. It isn't me trying to be an ***... just trying to illustrate a point.

I meant 'idiotic' in terms of the fact that it is a street race kill story. I am not trying to be offensive in any manner although I can see why you would feel that way. The fact is street racing is one of the stupidest things a person can engage in so you are showing your immaturity and stupidity in bragging on such a tale. If you don't believe me... ask Mr. Mojo his thoughts and then follow up with Savewave. I'm honestly trying to look out for your best interests here.

I have to agree that street racing is very irresponsible and there is no defense to that, and I won't judge anyone's drag racing spirit in here but ????????... so from now on I will tell no more racing kill stories if it was not at the track. I will not lie Im glad I showed the guy my rear end twice but this thread went the wrong way so Im done with it, my apologies to all those offended by my story. good nite!!!

Saoco, I'm not sure anyone's necessarily "offended" by the post. We are all (most anyway) adults here.

Some my take exception for various reasons like the gentleman who lost a friend or some of the cops onthe board or who knows?

Bottom line bro, is the administrators and owners of this board, have deemed streetracing or "kill" stories to be unacceptable content for this forum .

People are, in whatever form, just trying to make sure you get to stay around long enough to get the rainbow flag of stars under your name

I'm surprised it's lasted this long...Mojo...you asleep at the helm again?

Yeah, this will get locked and put in the cellar. I had one going about doing some "spirited" driving with a Viper and it went away. Folks just couldn't refrain from using the "race" word over and over so I'm glad it went away.
