thank you g50, its obvious that a 18 year old can't control something at that speed, im 19 and have gone that fast once, and i'm lucky im around because that goddamn lincoln couldn't steer for shit over 70. But at the same time, it could have been a 98 honda civic doing 115 and would have had the same results.

faggot kid owned himself.

you wouldn't believe how many guys say its common sense that if you race where no one is at that it is safe to race there

in the end its all about our choices and thinking that nothing can happen and that if something does happen we'll be able to handle it

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

It is appropriate to apply age to most of these situations. Perhaps you were a responsible young lad but do you honestly think you were in the majority? I know I wasn't very responsible or skilled driver.

Fact is, car accidents are the leading cause of death amongst 16-24 year olds.

<-- Was also invincible, haven't tested it since I made kids. Made plenty of top speed runs, memphis to tampa in 8 hours, never dumb enough to try it somewhere that ended like that. Too bad they didn't video tape it.
