Has anyone else seen this video - the video is linked from here - http://www.prudensconsulting.com/for...p?TOPIC_ID=794

I found it mildly insulting and a bit amusing............

Please don't respond to it on the Lexusdragon forum. All of us are more mature than that kid I would rather not start a mudslinging match there. Just keep your responses here. I just wanted to share it with you guys before I delete it off of Lexusdragon.com. Thanks!

Typical moron lumping eveybody together because of someone else. I surely don't lump all Miata owners together because of the one Miata owner I saw lock them up infront of a tractor-trailer causing it to go into a ditch in the median ... all because the Miata owner got squeezed on the enteance ramp. Yeah .. Lance did get a little "Racer X" on crossing the double yellow in '03, but Dave addressed it this year and I think everyone took it too heart. Hell ... even my slow-assed, bringing up the rear self drifted slightly over once. Dude is just jelaous of our cars ... Ford Miata ... pffffttt

the only cool thing about a miata is that a v8 fits in it,

one person can set the tone for the group in their actions, no its not fair - yes it happens. this year everythign went fine if you ask me.

Yeah, whack 'em in a couple of days Hameed (and ban 'em, ban their IPs). Crossing the line IS very dangerous and I think we all took it very seriously this year and did a much better job overall with safety.

Fact is everybody gets close to the line on that road, sometimes people cross. When that happens that means the driver should the slow down. The car in that video last year definitely was over and that's something we tried to avoid this year.

Miatas are great handling little roadsters, but let's face it, it's usually considered a girl's car. If it makes those guys feel big spamming the Dragon forum have at it, we'll prune it off. The bikers live in the MOST fear for the Miata weekends because of their reckless driving. Just search through killboy pictures for their weekends and in less than 30 seconds you can find plenty of over the line pictures.

Lucky used Miatas are so cheap, they can pick up another easily.

Like Hameed said, ignore the Miata guy, he's just jealous. I didn't see much of anything worth getting worked up over in that video. It was quite cool, in fact.

We all know who this guy is, right?

He's that annoying tattle tale ***** from work who nobody likes and thinks he the ***** 'cause he's been to The Skip Barber Driving School.

That guy needs a life, all that time spent butchering Randys vid and he could've done something better with his time wasted....loser!
