These "street racing" videos on the internet....
When I was young I admit I did a lot of stupid stuff with my cars that could have killed not only me, but other innocent people.
But what really scares me is seeing these videos with very powerful cars on public streets. During my "stupid" phase, I drove a '73 Plymouth Satellite 4 door that did low 16s at best, then my '68 New Yorker doing high 14s. Heck (gee, heck Wally) all my tickets except for 2, and that's out of over 20, were in my '81 Regal with a blazing top speed of 95 on the flat. Seeing these kids with there 300,400,500 horsepower Camaros, Mustangs, Supras and such that are capable of doing 0-100mph in 10 seconds, well, I just think how dead and buried I and many other people would be if I had a car that powerful when I was young.
Any thoughts?
