    No, it's not showing off if there's not a soul around that I know. It's called having fun and enjoying the vehicle.

    And I bet PT still does it!! :D

    You call it being an auto enthusiast, I call it showing off!

    I was but a wee lad of 17, had driven from Chicago to Indiana Dunes state park for a late night celestial meeting with one Susie Chevchyk a rather sweet but nasty young thing you dont take to home Mama. Upon departing I was feeling pretty pumped and gunned my OLDS 442 to prove my manhood. Never saw him till the lights and siren, let me go with a warning, sound familiar??

    Wonder what ever happened to Susie :)

    regardless of whether or not anyone's around, driving like a d@mn fool on public roads causes accidents (even if its just the d@mn fool driver and a telephone pole or tree).

    guess what that does to *MY* insurance premiums??? :mad:

    other than that I don't really mind... let Darwin do his work. The world is better off without them reproducing.

    Hehehehe, that was the name of the car. Four Hundred, Four barrel, Dual Exhaust, one of the 60's muscle cars, had that along with a Pontiac Catalina with a 389, even the family car could get up and run back in the day. Most popular among my little gang were the Chevy Nova with a 427 or Chevelle the 396 SS and some of the Camaro's with 350's and a few 427's there also. AMC also made some hot rods believe or not.

    PS--Gas was also a .25 a gallon. maybe .30 for high test and yea, it was loaded with lead.

    so racing on public roads is ok but driving under the influence is not?

    they are both putting others at risk, regardless of how "empty" it is or how "just buzzed" they are. i won't sit here and preach to anyone, but i fail to see how someone who partakes in one can show contempt for the other.

    i meant that the threat of innocents being hurt multiplies exponentially when mixing boose, racing, and cheese. and i feel for ANYONE who dies as the result of alcoholic consumption, though less for the instigator.

    I don't buy the "it's ok when no one's around" argument. Why? Because you never *truly* know if there's no one around. You may think you do, but you don't.

    I can count the number of times I've been pulled over in my lifetime on one hand, and I'll be 40 next year. I still have yet to ever have a speeding ticket or an accident.

    I've had a few warnings, and in two of the cases I *should* have received a ticket. Why didn't I? I put the vehicle in park, turn on hazards, put both hands on the wheel, use "Sir" when addressing an officer, and never make anything that could be contrued as a threatening move. I've never attempted to lie my way out of a ticket. I've said "yes I was going too fast" and I apologize. I'm polite.

    Officers just want to go home at the end of their shift, and I believe they appreciate anything *you* can do to make their jobs easier.

    Don't be an ****.

    Ok, that's just stupid. Let me repeat that, STUPID!. Ok, number one, there's a reason for everything, and, I got pulled over for exceeding the 15 mph limit on this one county park area riding my mountain bike. Now that is scary. But I got away, becuase I was going 17 mph, and I'm not 18 yet. :p

    HELL YES!

    I LOVE to race at the track, and I'll admit that racing on public streets is fun too. Back in the late 80's early 90's I probably raced 1000 times on city streets.

    Sometimes on the way to and from work, I'll be rollin at about 35, and then some primal urge takes over and I punch it and the tires break loose, the car rocks back and I take off like a rocket, and I LOVE it.

    I look at every highway onramp has my personal 1/8 mile drag strip! Hell yeah! Burn them tires! Street racing is good! Burn fossil fuels!
