Real races?
ORIGINAL: shayne
O.K. I've been catchin' some flames because my "kills" aren't real. I only have a couple more to entertain the members who have a sense of humor, then I'll be gone. I'm trying to space them so that I don't clutter the site with silly threads. This site is very helpful (most of the time) and I have learned alot here. I also post legitimate topics as well as good advice when I can help.
The fact is, I do not race or drive at unsafe speeds that may harm others if a mistake were made.
When I was a young man, with a fast car or two, I did some "running" with friends for fun, usually late night hwy stuff, but not in a long while.
Real story alert!!!!
A few years ago, on my way home, I witnessed (from a few car lengths away) a 19-year old kid burned alive in a classic Charger. He was hit from behind by the guy he was racing and the car overturned trapping him inside. The gas tank caught fire and before any one could get him out, the flames were so hot you couldn't get near the car. A few of us witnesses stood near the wreckage without being able to do anything to help. I drive by a cross with his name on it almost weekly and it reminds me how deadly a vehicle can be, through no real fault of the driver, in some cases.
So flame on 'cuz I made up (blatantly obvious) some kills. Flame on 'cuz I "chose" to buy a 6er and not drive it 'til it governs.
And I'm sure some of you *ssholes will flame on this post as well.
