#3 Do you agree with the depiction of street racing in The Fast and The Furious? Do you think it is ethical to portray street racing in a negative light?
1. They are barely entertaining. I watch them just to see how much more idiotic young car guys will be when they watch the movie and believe what they see.

2. Thankfully, hell no.

3. It's not accurate however I fully agree with portraying street racing as the negative act that it is. I used to goto street races (when I was 18-20) but never raced because even then I knew it was stupid and I had no reason to try to prove anything. It was just a place to meet and talk to other car people. They I found car people at autocrosses and track events and never bothered to go back to the street races.
