gotta love the street racing posts! never fails to get everyone riled up. so did thsi race happen or not? i skipped page 2-5, looked like a bunch of bs.
edit: never mind, i decided to go back and look at those pages.
turns out like it thought it would.
be careful out there.

Well the people that caused you to be victimized should be the blame. If lextasy and his friends made sure the road is safe and that the public does not enter the road it should be safe enough to do a couple of runs. They made sure everything is safe before doing so it's all good.

Just wondering NGG, how fast do you drive your is350? Such a fast car, but driven at such a slow rate, i feel sorry that the car will never live to see 45000RPM @ 65 MPH...

AHA.+1 Maybe we are the ones done growing up and s/he is still trying to get there..

NGG, I would step down from your high and mighty horse or get the money back for your so-called education. Any high school student knows it's Grammar and not Grammer professor. Really sad considering all PHP forums have built in spell check enabled by default.

Granted the original poster is probably some dorky kid with a fast car(i am taking a wild guess at this based on how he responds every thread that has ever been posted since he has joined), his subject isn't misleading. With a title as "do you think I can beat him" we pretty much know what the article is going to be about. Cut the kid a break. He seemed to be relatively safe about his racing.

OK i am done, and love you all.

Combfilter, your post made me think...something I can't remember doing in a long while....seems the neurons were misreading the pathways and the synapses misfiring. Did I get all that spelt right? Not sure, as this depleted brain can only do one thing at a time.(Remember brain cells start to die some time in our teens, so mine must be close to being depleted). Anyway here are some of the more cogent thoughts that took hours to dribble out and be keyed in...hopefully in understandable language. (Might get lucky and it will be English).

Three things: my English education was free...high school and business experience.(Seems I got what I paid for). Second, I guess no one else has ever hit a wrong key.(Maybe I can blame the magnifying glass or the cataracts). And thirdly spell check is not enabled...maybe because of my advanced age I am techno challenged. Hey, from the tone of some of these posts, I am in my dotage and slowly shuffling off into the dwindling sunset as I have been commanded not to ride my "high and mighty horse".

Stay safe and enjoy your IS, as I do mine.
