I've also had two twin brothers in the middle of the night when I was filling e85 come up to the windows and put there hands on it while I was talking to the cashier . They also freaked out about how much the car cost and started being quite annoying.


I guess these cars ooze attention

Not sure why, but this reminded me of a recent encounter I had.

I was sitting at a traffic light waiting to pull into the development where my parents live, I look over to the left and see two young kids going wild and giving me a thumbs up.

I'm not sure what they though I was driving, but it made my day.

Honestly? No, you didn't. If you were actually trying, you'd respond point by point to what I said and we could have a real discussion.

Dude, i see Where your coming from.... You dont need to be lectured and told about responsibility when sharing your story about racing. And even though Im a yung fool in Uni, I think its safe to say, you can't really expect him to respond to that condescending, stubborn attitude. Calm and coherent doesn't mean respectful and mannered
Just Let it go, these old lazy dogs just tryna keep the culture 1hunnit and keep kids like me from giving them a bad rep LOL

I don't think our objections have anything to do with giving us a "bad rep". We are not talking about speeding or whipping around a corner here we are talking two or more cars involved in a race on public streets with innocent lives at stake. Doesn't matter if there was nobody else around. When people get racing they tend to lose focus on what is going on around them. They may as well be reading their texts since they are distracted by where the other guy is and trying to get that extra speed to beat them. Things go wrong fast when racing in a controlled environment much less when you start adding the public to the picture.


Many years ago (when your parents were probably still children) I saw the results of a street race gone wrong first hand. I will guarantee that once you have to look for a young mother's missing leg and then go scrape what is left of her 2 year old child out of the car seat you gain a whole different perspective on the subject.


Yep us old guys are not just saying this for entertainment and may have actually learned something over the years. If you live long enough you may as well.


1hunnit enough for you?

Pretty sure street racing has been going on since cars were invented so I don't see how this is a "millennial" thing.

Please advise.

Yep. Not new and certainly happened even before cars were invented. The majority of street drivers charged or involved in accidents are under the age of 30. This of course is also the age group that feel they are invincible and rules/laws are just guidelines that should not apply if you don't like them.
The big change now it has been glorified and made to appear normal by movies and video games. The difference is when you roll your car in real life you don't just jump out with a cut on the forehead that stops bleeding in 30 second or respawn back on the road to carry on. People die.
