Whats the difference between these Rice Rockets showing their ***** or us doing our Sprited Drives???? Seems to me its not much different then us flying down the WSH or the GSP with the loud mufflers. Sure they are gonna die quicker then we are, but it seems they are having the same fun we are!!!!

It is pretty much the same thing.

One difference, at least from what I've seen, is we aren't as reckless. We look for empty roads, we don't do wheelies, we don't weave in and out of lanes, and we don't (intentionally) scare the bejezus out of people. We probably aren't going as fast as they are, either.

None of that makes what we are doing more right than what they are doing, either.

As far as breaking the speed limit, and the noise factor, I can't argue with you. We are doing the pretty much the same thing they are.

Are you saying we should stop?

Send them to Connecticut, no helmut required. No Brain No Pain! Only problem is if they don't get killed and are permanently disabled they get a free meal on Mr. Taxpayer.
