Default An interesting video...

I don't really want to start the "street racing" debate, but here is an interesting video of street racing. About 2/3 through, there is a C5 that is destroyed. Hope this isn't a dupe

I have caught bits and pieces of that, but those two guys and the mom are idiots.

I will not say I have never hit triple digits, because that would be a lie, however I can say that I have not been as stupid as the fools filmed in that clip.

Such stupid sensationalism. Games are made after real life, not the other way around!! "Little engines that can hit warp speed." I think the writer of this thought the Fast and the Furious was a documentary. And it's all about the imports then they show a totaled corvette without making mention of what it is. "with $2000, I can get 400hp, easy." Suuuure you can. Please go kill yourself on a "drift mission" pulling the e-brake on your civic, looser.

Freaking morons. And that mom who says it's OK if her son gets killed "doing something that he loves doing". OMG. Some people shouldn't be allowed to be parents...

And she tries to compare it to someone who died flying an airplane. That wasn't illegal. What they're doing is.

that corvette was mangled!!!! people need to wake up and be a bit more educated. comparing an airplane crash to illegal street racing and endangering other innocent people, is stupid.

I think there are other ways for Population Control Methods.

I know she's a MOM but I'm wondering if she's the other kind of MOM. Moms On Meth. My son loves to Rob Banks, but I'd never say "At least he died, doing what he loves!". How horrible!
