Your example actually supports what I was saying since all the attention that the cars received in your area was the direct result of one incident and how the car was driven. The reason you stated for them attempting to cancel the show was not that there would be bright coloured or loud cars there but because "it may entice young people to drive aggressively".

Spoiler alert... it's not. Still unsure why everyone thinks any minivan is even close to a twin straight line. If you are getting dusted by a minivan with an automatic transition in your tiny light manual trans twin.... It's not the car I promise. (*not you specifically @Overdrive.... just in general as I have heard this many times.)

No. The point of this thread is that most of us are smart enough to not fall for the challenges. Apparently some are not that bright. Quote:
Street racing is not what the movies make it. I don't give a flying fuck if street racing drivers kill themselves since it was their call but most of the casualties of this activity are not the drivers. The victims are the innocent families in the minivan that get hit at high speed or the women and children minding their own business on the sidewalk that get creamed by out of control cars. You want to talk about your petty victories at street racing take it to Facebook where the other self indulgent teens hangout. Quote:
It is the person thinking that they are being challenged that are getting the ego boost not the alleged challengers.

And you can save me the sob stories about the victims of street racing lol. I think you're under the impression that I'm advocating street racing or arguing that what I was doing wasn't stupid or dangerous, and that simply isn't the case. Granted, I do believe that a highway pull like that with nobody else around, in a non-residential area is basically harmless to anyone but myself and the dude that challenged me, but I'm not deluded into thinking I wasn't really street racing or anything like that. For the third time, calm down, deputy. |

So, letting the guy know I accepted his challenge, and then coming up with an explanation for why he didn't pull away from me when his bike is much faster than my car qualifies as "bragging about a petty victory"? Lol, okay dude. Whatever you say.

Ahh, I see, you're just accusing me lying because I said I kept up, gotcha. I'm not gonna waste my time trying to convince you that, "No really, I won, I swear!" lol. That isn't why I posted what I did. I wasn't trying to brag, I was just sharing a story about accepting the "Come Race Me Bro" encounter I had. You can choose to believe me, and we can argue about whether or not I should've posted the story, or you can choose to believe that I'm some insecure teenager looking to start a d*ck waving contest about beating a motorcycle lol.
