I don't know how many of you actually streetrace or even just drive around looking for a stoplight kill from time to time, but another i told you so....it's OKAY to do the speed limit!
Friend of mine just got the insurance money back from his GSR. It was nice, white, and had all the right upgrades to boot.
Story:
Was a little bored one night with nothing but time to kill and had never riden in my bud's C1 before so why not right? VTEC kicks ASS! So jumped in the car, drove around the block a few times. Went to a what we thought was "good spot" and laid down a few launches. Everything went good until we got a little paranoid when a rent-a-cop was sighted (don't need real cops around later, cops are gay). Haul'd ass outta there (i'm riding shottie), and he rounds a few corners and fails to see the two stop signs coming up. I'm like AHHHHH! he blows through one without realizing it's there and.....doesn't quite make it all the way through the second one A Dodge Dakota got in his way. Both cars totalled. Airbags are good. We went through some guys brick wall in his yard while the Dakota made friends with a lightpole. The guy in the dakota was going about 60 and we we doing about....alot more than that.
Moral: Keep it off the streets! Do the speed limit! We are lucky we aren't dead or killed the other guy. I know this may sound like a dumb story to some but please don't let it take $18,000 or your friend's life to figure it out. Spend the $15 some bucks and drag all day at the track with your friends. Coming from a prior street racer himself.
