Other than the racing thing that Jeep harps on, I have no problem with the guy. For the most part the guy knows what he is talking about. My earlier response was not meant to crap in his Corn Flakes, just to point out the fact that every racing story that is brought up here he comments on in a negative way. He has the right to speak what is on his mind and I have spent the last 8 years protecting that right. I do however have a problem with the way that he brings up his point of view on the subject. Calling people idiots and telling them that they are stupid is not the mature way to change someones mind and 9 times out of 10, will automatically put people on the defensive which leads to yelling and insults.

Note that in every one done at the track, there's really no negatives unless it's total BS.
I thank you for serving your country. I plan on entering the Service when I graduate from college, and I might like it enough to put in a couple more terms of service.
Sorry if you don't like how I bring up my point of view, but it is my decision to choose my own wording. However, if you want a nice, cushy version of it, look at the "saftey" thread mustangforums put up.

nothing at all wrong with it. it doesnt stretch the window so stfu. and hes right...people should at no time on a public road break bout 80-85. its just pointless. a guy at my dads job's kid got a motorcycle (i know, its not super related, but similar effects can be found when a seatbelt isnt on) was going like 100 and hit a parked car. speeds like that kill. he didnt expect it and you guys who dont respect your cars and yourselves, and especially others, probably wont either if something like that happens to you. even if you did hit something going that fast with a seatbelt, you would not be feeling good at all.

Excuse me? I thought you said a rude little phrase to me. I had to be wrong. It makes my windows long as hell, personally. My resolution is low because my computer sucks. I think the only reason Jeep is again street racing is because he knows there are few cars willing to race that he can beat I don't have any problems with his views or his right ot state it, but seeing that damn picture every time gets annoying.

I know that was a lil rib rubbin there bud . I honestly don't care if I win or loose. That's the main reason I'm the only FWD at the track that doesn't get the jitters when they're lined up against a 10 second car. Totally different class, so why should I worry about it? Now...if I kept up with them, different story.
Sorry if your computer's f**ked by the picture. But, as they say, a picture says a thousand words. Not to mention the fact that some people that do street racing and the like don't visit theis area, so why not spread the message everywhere?

this went from racing to hazing. to each their own. i don't street race, have in the past but agree its dangerous and extremely expensive if caught or lethal to you or the smiths in their station wagon who are in the wrong place at the wrong time. a forum is designed to post viewpoints and ideas, and if you check out most forums, they are dead because people don't express their views and feelings... everyone keep posting

some people, instead of taking pride in their car, they envy other peoples stuff and take the shortcut. its really b ad with hondas, cus there all interchangable part wise. it sucks, but thats what happens when the market for a car is people in their teens and twenties, you get dirtbags, who rip off your s**t.

I know it was going to happen. I had that feeling. I just didn't know when. It happened, what was I to do? Nothing. Insurance company sucks only got the money to replace the car. Not the motor or the tranny or the... But it was worth it in the end. I no longer drive RICE and no longer want to, unless for a winter beater!

Hey nice to know you arent a ricer anymore, Hey jeep ol budy, relax and step back for a sec. all of ya should just relax and take a breath sometime. Yeah its dangerous, and rammin your thoughts down someone elses throat doesnt help your cause. We cant make anyone do anything, and all we have here is an opinion. Its not like you will be hunted down or someone will drive by your house because of what you said on here. So what if someone has a faster car, or wants to risk alot for some fun. He has to live with what happens, I understand trying to get people to see your point and not be stupid. But people gotta learn thier own way. I never wrecked my car racing, never got a ticket either. But I wised up after a few to many hairy runs. Sooner or later people change and grow up. I still act 19 and I am 34, I am just more responisble now.
Oh and BTW 260hp is fast? Just messin with ya, enjoy the Stang...
