Default Dr. Phil

I found this posted by CBS Paramount on Myspace:

Are you a teen (or do you know a teen) who is addicted to street racing? Do you feel that you’re a skilled enough driver that street racing isn’t dangerous for you? If you would like to come on national television to tell the world about your passion please call Emily at The Dr. Phil Show at (323) 956-3350.

Thanks!

I bet it's gonna be hilarious. Most likely a bunch of people with 17+ second honda civics on there.

they feel that they can race safely on the streets because their cars don't have enough power to break the speed limit

Maybe they'll invite Nick Hogan.

I'm sure they won't invite his passenger - he wouldn't make for very lively discussion.

I always just assume those fart can muffled Honda’s are racing me at every light by the sound of them.
I just drive at a normal pace; they usually catch up and pass me after a block or two.

Pretty Ignorant statement to make since his passenger is paralyzed and may never be able to walk,talk or have a normal life again.... the passenger is also a Marine who served this country so excuse me for saying your an iggnorant jacka$$ for making a comment like that

One could only hope. Unfortunately Dr. Phil is nothing more than Jerry Springer competition...

Getting these kids into competition drifting, autocross, track, drag racing, rallycross, anything that gets them off the street is good. I just think this is nothing more than cannon fodder for Dr. Phil to get ratings

This was a good idea for a funny thread that went horribly wrong.

Dr. Phil and car racing do not belong in the same sentence regardless of the topic. Alot of homemakers will just be sitting there going 'Those dangerous kids'. I say raise them better, give 'em all vettes, and track those kids driving skills hehe

Not even just the Honda guys you gotta watch out for. My sons supercharged Chevy Cobalt can easily lay waste to c5/c6 Vettes in 1/8 mile or more drag racing and some even 1/4 mile. He can easily take a c5/c6 Vette off the line for the first 300 feet and embarass the heck out of the Vette owner on the street. Having a Z06 or any new Vette doesn't mean its the quickest thing out there.

No doubt. But horsepower alone a sports car does not make. The road course is the barameter for me--how would that Honda do on the road course vs my Z06? The Honda guys can be fast, sure, but a Civic is not a Sports car. A sports car should be sporty--good looking, low hood, etc. The Honda kids are a bit irritating for me with their fartcan mufflers because they just don't get this--it's about style and CLASS.
