Darwinism, civilization will be better off.

I would like to try and advise otherwise, but at this point I dont think it would get anywhere.

 

your kids going to do something dangerous and irresposible because you own cars that are not slow? Did you not teach your kids right from wrong? Did you not teach them to obey the rules of the road?

See my mommy and daddy taught me to do think the right way, to obey traffic lights, and speed limit signs.

They did NOT teach me to be a junior **** up who thinks they can do whatever they want as long as it looks like you could get away with it.

You sir, are a shitty ass parent. If you had dicisiplined your kids they they would not do illegal **** just because the car is fast.

And to be honest you need to grow the **** up yourself. You let your kid ******* STREET RACE! You let him endanger himself. you, and every other vehicle on the road because he wanted to prove daddys car was faster than a PT CRUSER!

I feel sorry for your children. That they did not grow up i a home that taught them they cannot do whatever they want just because. I feel sorry they had an irresponsible and immature father. They are certaintly going to have some tough lessions to learn, and its all your fault.

 

qft. Your kids gonna end up like my sister, brain dead.

 

You own a 76 hp car. What are you going to race, a garbage truck? The most responsible drivers are the ones that usually cause accidents because they can't properly drive.

 

okay, douchebag. That is not the only car I own.

and you can speed and drive recklessly and dangerously in ANY car.

did you really just say that? Like honestly?

wow.....

 

Look at the majority of accidents. In my area at least, it's often caused by people who are cautious and stop last minute when light goes yellow. Or they do right at the speed limit in the left lane of the thruway.

 

really? and you have statistics to back this up? or are those just your "observances?"

which one is more likely to cause an accident? A guy going to speed limit, who stops at yellow lights?

or a guy who is racing, going well about the speed limit?

Quit trying to justify street racing. Its not safe, its not cool, its not legal, it not responsible, its not mature. Your just trying to E-thug it up.

Learn some respect for other people.

 

Guy who slams on the brakes at the last second at yellow is a way bigger safety hazard then someone who just goes through the yellow. I can't look up at stats at work, but a lot of rear end collisions are caused by this very reason.

If you were taking precautions when street racing you wouldn't be doing well above the speed limit if traffic was infront of you. So if this guy is speeding, hell lets go a step further and say that he was racing, in his FWD Cobalt, what's the worest the could happen?

Why are you bashing street racing when you most likely done it yourself? You've never had to go full throttle to merge on the thruway? By defination of the law, that is a street race. I'm not trying to e thug or be a bad ass, I'm just stating my facts. You can counter with your own facts if you choose.

If you don't like what I'm typing then leave the thread so I don't further "disrespect" you, if it's even possible to do so by sharing my views.

 

Ok, you have a cobalt. It's slow, and shitty.

Thank you.


Endorsing street racing to your 16yo is ignorant. It doesn't matter how "good" of a driver you can teach him to be. He could be racing somebody who can't drive and they collide. At least at the track there's medical attention there right away. slowswap is right about the cautious drivers causing wrecks, but there's just as many stupid ones that do and I bet some of those cautious drivers wouldn't have been in a wreck if the person behind them was paying more attention, at least from my personal experience.

 

just want to throw this in there... YOU can be a good street racer but you are also relying on the other guy... and there are a LOT of idiots out there.

A guy I knew had a mustang and decided to race a CRX one night, CRX lost control in the inner lane, went into oncoming traffic and killed himself and 4 people in the car he hit. Guy in the mustang is in jail for the rest of his life now because they say he killed 5 people by street racing. (also think of if the CRX was in outer ad mustang in inner, could have killed guy in mustang too)

He did nothing "wrong" (in terms of racing) he stayed in his lane and gunned it, its the other guys crappy driving and car that ruined his life. So... don't think that you or your friends or whoever are going to be ok because they drive well, they can still be put away.

 

I had to re-read the story to make sure it wasn't some other car involved.



Cautious drivers are FAR less likely to cause a *fatality* than someone who is overconfident and driving far beyond what their driving ability is.

 

ROFL... so much fail on so many different levels.

A 2.2 cobalt vs a PT Cruiser? must have been the slowest race in history... I bet a cop couldnt even tell you were racing.

And letting your 15 year old son street race? tsk tsk tsk.

 

lol he was calling the guy who said the OP was an idiot a ******* IDIOT.

why'd you say thank u to that?

 

My ole man bought a 87 Buick Grand National 1 week after I was born... He has driven it like crazy ever since he bought it, but always told me he knew the car well enough to do it. I sat in the passenger seat and watched him street race all the time from year 9-15, never got into an accident and always had fun. I don't street race because he does, I do it because I enjoy it and its fun as long as its a safe situation... Cool to see your son whoopin some ass OP.

 

I didnt even realize it was 2.2L cobalt!!!! LMAO. FAST CAR REALLY? I thought you let your kid race with an SS. Alot of fail in here, you are correct sir!.

Mostly because the guy that rear ended the one who hits his brakes was an idiot and was following to closely, lol. The ticket goes to the rear ender, not the rear endee.

 

For correcting the "You're". Pet peeve plus when somebody calls someone else an idiot like that and using it wrong. lulz.

 

Why do people like the OP reproduce, now the kid has a father, er I mean sperm donor teaching him how to break the law unsafely at 16; way to go! Having the kid race for almost a minute to 90 mph... tsk tsk. Maybe you will learn the hard way of your affect on your child when you have to bury him, from what I hear that is the hardest thing for a person to do, bury your own child.

Anyone who backs up his teachings is also a *******, there is no dicussing that.

Tyler

BTW, I am laughing at the OP calling his car fast... What fast car does your wife drive? A V6 Odyssey?

 

I dont agree with letting your 16 yr old kid street race, but CUDA JOE it sounds to me( based off the bolded statment) that you and your sister both suck horribly at driving. Between me and my two other brothers, we have never been in an accident. Not evey you kid crashes there first car. Now to the OP WHY DONT YOU GROW UP AND LEARN THE MEANING OF RESPONSIBILITY THEN TRY TEACHING YOUR SON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.

 

can not ******* stand this
i want to get out and take my bat up to their drivers window and beat some sense into people that do that ****. people at the light will wait they're watching you, slamming your **** just because the light turned yellow is more dangerous.

 

I got into that accident because an old lady pulled out of her driveway without looking at the last second. I hit my brakes hard as a reaction but didnt slow down in time. i think back to that, I should have gone into the oncoming traffic lane to have avoided it, there was no traffic at that time if I remember correctly.

My sister IS a terrible driver. I know that for a fact. She will never be considered a good driver in the state of Maryland. My parents bought her a pretty quick little car for her first car. They take care of her, give her money every week for food, she cant hold a job, shes an alcoholic, she only 21 ******* years old. My parents put alot of money and care into her, too much if you ask me, she was spoiled rotten.

Me on the other hand got a little tiburon, price range was about the same between us except one big difference, I PAID FOR mine, lol. She got into a drinking and driving accident cause she thought she could do anything. Its funny when you hear people say that because it sounds so damn rediculous to even think someone could believe that about themselves. But its true, she gambled and lost....alot.

 

Please tell me she no longer has a license?

 

HAHA Really you obviously have never been to a track then or think you are invincible. I promise you there are millions of reasons why its unsafe to street race. People, **** on the road, animals just to name a few can and have caused countless wrecks.

You drive a Cobalt LT how is that not a slow ass car, hell my lawn mower is faster than one of those.

Your kid is 15 years old, 90% of 15-16 year olds shouldn’t be behind the wheel at all. I will bet you your kid is not even half the driver I am or any one else on the street with even a few years experience behind the wheel.

Telling you kid its OK to street race is stupid and irresponsible thing to do. I wonder how you’ll feel when one day you get a call saying your son has killed someone or killed himself.

To be honest with you I only street race my car a few times a year and the rest of time do drive it like I drive my explorer. Just because you have a fast car doesn’t mean you have to beat on it on the street. Its very easy not to especially when you start making real power.

What I bolded shows that he is not a good driver now he is and inexperienced kid that has no clue what he is doing. I hate to break it to you but hell of a lot better and more experienced drivers have died from street racing then you want to know or believe.

I got one that went wrong.

My buddies lined up on a local interstate. They had enough cars to block traffic so they could slow down the traffic behind them and get enough space to run out their cars and not run into the traffic ahead of them. They start the race and a guy in a KB Cobra, going over 120mph, has a tire blow out of no where. He loses control and slams into the center concrete median. The cars blocking the traffic that was behind him then come onto the accident and have to swerve around parts and the car in the road. One car came about 3ft from getting hit by a semi and another car damn near hit the cobra. Lucky no one was hurt but it did wake quite a few people up that night

How about the one where all the cars were lined up on a back road and spectators lined the side of the road to watch. Two cars lined up and took off, one lost traction and dead hooked at around 60mph and went straight into a group of people. Three kids were hurt that night.

Planned races go wrong from something unexpected and unplanned all the time.

No **** dude because the majority of people on the road aren’t racing, you explanation is failed here. You cant say most wrecks are caused by people not racing when 99% of people on the road don’t race.

You have to compare the number of people driving normal and number of accidents to the number of people street racing and street racing caused accidents. You will find the number is drastically higher.

First we are not comparing someone slamming on the breaks at a yellow light and someone blowing through it. We are comparing someone slamming on the breaks at a yellow light and 15-16year old kid street racing. BIG ******* DIFFERENCE

Plus how many people are killed from a rearend like that?…. Now how many people are killed in a street racing accident? Fatal street racing accidents are like 75% because of the speeds reached.

Not to mention this whole argument isn’t about whether street racing is good or bad but its about letting your kid who just got his license or permit and has no ******* clue what he is doing street racing with a supposed “parent” in the car and egging him on.

Don’t get me wrong I street race but I know its not right and I have been driving and learned what my car does at high speeds and how to react to it on a strip. I also race on the track MUCH MUCH more than the few street races I participate in a year. My parents never condoned street racing because they weren’t stupid and didn’t want me to die or kill someone else, in other words they were responsible adults.

 

I disagree.

I have been in 3 accidents, none of them my fault.

1- I backed out into the street and the guy across the street backed into me. He admitted backing up without looking
2- I was sideswiped while sitting still at a stop light waiting for an arrow by a lady trying to pass another car that was turning.
3-Lady ran a red light and clipped my bumper.

Now I have had three accidents in 5 years of driving, but could do nothign to prevent them, just because someone has accidnets, means nothing about their driving skill.

But I do agree about the OP.

Grow the **** up man, teach you kid a little responsibilty


1-if the vehicle behind said driver maintained a safe following distance it would be no issue at all.
2- How can you take precaution? your racing at high speeds, on public roads, that were not prepped or built for that kind of use, with possibility of debris and or pedestrians. Yet you took precautions? Yeah right....
3- when your going 100+ mph or even 60 or even 40 it matters little weather your car is FWD, RWD or AWD.
4.No I dont street race. Ever. There is no need for it. I dont have the desire to prove my car is faster

 

Dont you just hate that ****. My older brothers car my parents bought, my younger brothers car they bought. I had to by my first car!

The main part i was trying to get across is that not every young kid crashes there cars. My father is 52 and has never been in an accident. Maybe thats because unlike the OP, my father is a good father!

 

I'm sorry, I can't help but laugh looking at your sig...

I think the OP might single handedly be responsible for our insurance rates spiking starting now going forward That or maybe the economy car insurance becoming closer to the sports car insurance ATM.
