    My point was you never see a crushed intercooler or 18" volks...its always bone stock car on hub caps and some popped collar spiked hair thug thinkin since its a Honda...its fast. Street racing only seems to be a local problem in the 17 sec community....fast cars generally go to the track in our area. (I know there are exceptions)

    true, but it's not them who gets effect by this...it is us who have to do our daily business in the area get affected by it. Every fuucking time when i am in my GSR or WRX...i always manage to get a cop behind me....doing what? nothing but normal driving and minding my own business. They do the crime and all of us have to pay for it. I feel bad that a young kid lost his life over BS like this and have my prayers with his family, but i hope every time someone pulls stupid shiit likes this...they pay for their own mistakes....not by death, but something they'll remember rest of their lives. I am sure that kids classmater/family will think twice before pulling something like this again. I hope i don't see another "speed kills teen" article in newspaper for sometime now.
    Awesome...before i could go on late night drives when i felt like it and now i'll have to worry about cops giving me **** in lville, s'ville area, but after typing all that....I don't really wanna complain i'd rather see harsh cops than dead teens.

    Loganville also has tons of straight empty roads where you could run 200mph if you wanted to. Street racing out here isn't a big deal becuase there is a lack of cars once you really get into Walton County. And if there are cars all you and the person you are racing has to do is slow down to 45mph for a little bit or just pull to the side of the road until cars leave.

    Lawrenceville is a different story. There are shopping centers, cars, people, red lights, turns, etc everywhere and they are all full of traffic.

    Street Racing in Traffic = Bad
    Street racing on empty roads = Go for it

    So you are telling me the only time you ever accelerate hard in your vehicle is when you are at the Atlanta Dragway or other race tracks?

    Accelerate hard or street race? Now you're trying to change the words around. Remember. I have a brain that I choose to use. Later, QD.

    Yup. And I've driven that Grand Am my whole life, too. That comment, just like your others, holds no merit. Later, QD.
