Your WHAT hurts?
some of those are commercials, and the commercials are so well done it's kind of hard to tell what's real & what isn't sometimes.

Im not usually worried about my driving, just the next potential "idiot" driving towards me. Yes I know some where acted out, but some were real. Hard to tell, but anyhow the point gets across.

I take my car to the local dragstrip for my racing... however I did just get a ticket for 38 over(83 in a 45). I wasn't racing. Just driving fast down an open stretch of road(It was only me... until I saw the cop, then it was me and him).

I know exactly what you're saying there, jus the other day i was stopped at a road with a lot of lights on it and this guy wearing his g-unit hat pulls up to me in a 92 or so civic hatch, custom rims, speed (rust) holes, and an aluminum wing pulls up next to me at the first light. I won't lie, i put the pedal down a couple times but the fastest i got going was 50km/h (about 30mph) (speed limit). At every light buddy tried doing a burnout with the park brake on, failed every time, burnout at every pull away, and had to have hit at least 70-80km/h then would lock it up for the next light. He almost rear ended another car at a light when he was stopping, then almost did again at the next light when he tried doing his burnout.
I'll admit, i used to street race a little bit, i did a could times, got caught, and something in my head just kinda clicked at that point. Surprisingly got off with a warning though, probably because i was only doing 20km/h over the limit. Still a dumb move though. The closest thing i'll do to "racing" now is on a back country road i might come onto it a bit to test my handling a little bit.

When I was 16 on up to my mid 30's, I was a banshee on the road. I allways said I could of been a Nas Car driver had I been in the right place at the right time, but alas, I wasn't.
What finally stopped me from ricky racing around town, and especially freeways, was a race I got into with a Trans am while I was in my brand new 84 Nissan 300ZX. The nissan that year was actually a very slow car for those who havn't been in one, my stock automatic Cavalier would dust it off. The only way I could beat this guy was out drive him, and I did, almost at the cost of myself and girlfriends lives! I'm doing a 100, and everything on the freeway comes to a halt. In a split second, I had to make a decision where I was going to go, there was a car in front of me stopped, and more cars on the right and left of me with nowhere for me to go. I decided the most room I had was to go right. I turned right, probably still doing about 90 at this point, and I just skimmed the bumber of the guy in front of me, doubt he even felt it, but I sure did. I have no idea what happened to the car on the right of me, I swear god moved him out of my way because he just wasn't there anymore? I managed to squeeze through, and got off the freeway on an off ramp that just happened to be right there when I needed it. Went and drank a few beers to get rid of the trembling in my body, and thanked god we were still alive. Even at that point, I didn't have the mindset to consider it wasn't going to be just us who could have been killed, but many other unsuspecting people may have died also, with many familys in upheaval because I had to beat this guy at any cost. STUPIDIDITY, it should be taught in driving school, you are not the only person affected by your reckless driving so go to the track or somewhere safe to get your adrenelin up!
