[QUOTE="Ponyracer1, post: 14662763, member: 100514"] After perusing the vid section and looking at you tube, I'm seeing more and more vids being posted from "mexico" showing illegal roll racing from approximately the speed limit to upwards of 140 mph. While normally I figure that its your business if your going out to some abandoned stretch of road to see what your ride will do, but the vids clearly show these idiots doing it on fairly busy highways with other cars in the next lane and other cars merging etc. So that got me thinking, and I started doing some research on the consequences of street racing by state and man they are ugly. Does anyone on here actually think about these things before doing them? Loosing your license, fines, having your car crushed, insurance increases, all the way to civil suits/jail time if you cause a wreck that injures someone. Don't get me wrong, I grew up street racing an old nova and a 350 S10 when I was in high school but that was the early 90's and things have changed. I'm not "preaching" as I've done the same things when I was younger. I think with the ridiculous amount of power newer cars are making/capable of making, along with higher pay and longer loan terms this problem will get worse before it gets better with younger and younger people that don't think before they act sometimes having the ability to buy 600+ HP cars right off the showroom floor. Also with tech the way it is, $4500 for a twin screw and your in business. I'm seriously thinking about going back to the dirt as there is no speed limits/cops. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
