Default This is exactly way I become sick listening to postings regarding

"kills" made by those who feel some juvenille need to race on public roads. There have been more than a fair share of TTer's in this group and I have never voiced an opinion before...but for the love of god people, my wife, my friends, their children are out there and do not deserve to become part of this stupidity.
If you want to race, go to the track.
If that Integra next to you rev's it up, ignore him. It doesn't matter who is faster, what matters is the lives these speed events ruin.

Default Sadly though, lots of ricers in my city are all excited about the movie :-( The movie will just...

glorify this type of behavior.

Default well at least the media doesn't glamorize it...

oh wait a minute....what's that movie coming out?

Strike that...

But judging from the trailers, at least the acting won't help sell the movie...

Actually I have no problem with yo-yo's dying in a fiery crash (some natural selection going on), as long as they don't take out bystanders. The problem is there is no way to ensure that only the dipstick dies.

Default Re: I agree, two days after "Driven" showed two 911's went

around me at an estimated 140+ on I15 in San Diego. My guess is they got the idea from the chase scene through Chicago.
