now how good of a driver are you? can you say you're the best driver in the world? if not, what room do you have to criticize? you obviously had to start at some point yourself, how would you have liked it if people just told you to stay away because you weren't up to par with them?
His point...
Is that someone complaining that they fear the financial issues if they screw their car up going 45mph around traffic cones yet being cocky about how cool they are that they went 150mph down a public highway is RETARDED.
I'm quite competitive when it comes to autocross, but I'm still friends with my competitors, and at the end of the day, nobody is mad at anyone else.
