    I disagree, doing shit on the streets is dumb. Even if you take a lot of precaution and just haven't gotten caught or hurt anyone yet, doesn't mean that things till won't happen. You can be as stupid all you want, but when you bring your stupidity out onto public roads where you can hurt people who play by the rules, it becomes a problem. And yes, it DOES make you an idiot.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Well said.

    As you speed beyond 80mph, your % chance of wrecking with someone pretty much goes up exponentially. Good luck pushing your luck with those numbers.
    Its like one of those drug ads:

    Racing - It will make your ego feel great and your dick up to 1" longer!

    Risks include arrests, reckless driving, speeding tickets, loss of future employment, felony records, increased insurance rates. Some patients have died and other with debilitating injuries. Injury or death to innocent victims has also been seen. Use at your own risk.

    most of the time, if you arnt an idiot, you race on a road with very little traffic...very late at night. You arnt gonna hurt anyone because i mean even if someone is coming they can see whats going on...you can see them coming...you just simply let them pass and resume...if you dont do it this way then you are indeed an idiot. but just because someone street races, does not make them an idiot. besides its a thousand times more fun to race on a street than it is to race on a track...9357345 times the adrenaline...

    With little traffic? Come on.... And if you make a miss judgment, hit some something in the road, blow a tire, ANYTHING that causes you to lose control and smash into another car, I guess you were still being "SMART" about it...
    Not saying this same scenario can't happen doing doing 55 late at night, but i tend to think you have more control over a car doing 55-80 rather than 100+

    If someones coming? How do you know how they are going to react to cars coming flying at them at extreme speeds? You must have that new Telepathy Detector that allows you know exactly how they are going to react....

    You might be smart, you might have a degree and be a doctor, the second you race your car on the street you've become an idiot. Its not safe, the roads are not regulated for extreme speeds, and you do not care for anyone's life not even your own, plain and simple.

    headlights my friend...on a flat road you can see them a mile away...actually further than that...but it doesnt matter cause youre only goin a quartermile. im not sayin its particularly safe...im just sayin, just because you do it doesnt make you an idiot.
