I just read the other thread where everyone else jumpd him for his remarks and I read his reply. I hope it was sincere, if it was, sorry I jumped on you. If it wasn't, then I'm not. You said you get frustrated when people think of your age and make assumptions and stereotype you. Well, prove them wrong. Show them you are mature. Take away all the bullshit of street racing, all the penalties, fines, jail time thanks to the new law, police, courts and throw all that crap out the window for one minute. Suppose your mother was going to the grocery store and she goes to make a turn and bam, some KID, driving wrecklessly and immaturely, smacks into her and rolls her car, killing her instantly. You think you yourself would even be able to get behind the wheel of a car for a week or two after that??? Would you sympathize with the kid, because it's bullshit that we have to travel 40 miles to the nearest 1/4 drag strip?? Do you feel any form of sorrow for him because he was just trying to be young and have a little fun andthere was no safe place for him to do so?? Do you coddle him because his precious car, his prode and joy, is totalled?? Hell no, you want blood. You want to see him suffer. Hell, you want to taste his blood and watch him die. You want the last thing he ever sees in his life to be you right before you rip him apart. Now put yourself in that kid's shoes. Is that to you really worth more than $20 once a month? I'm not rich, I'm a broke ass college student. My parents want to teach me a lesson so I get to pay for almost everything. I also work for them, in a dry cleaners. It's a shitty job but at least I get somewhat of a paycheck. I make sure I've got my $20 just for the FSF events, BTW which are scheduled once a month up until September so far. I'm fairly sure the monthly trend will continue. I know you hurt your back, maybe you are still unemployed, I don't know. I'm not judging you or being condescending, I'm trying to plead a point. Be smart dude, I would rather become your friend and have friendly competitions at the fairgrounds than hear of how your life got ruined while playing on the streets.
