Default Be careful out there guys

Most all of us get down on the street, and everyone makes mistakes. This isnt me but I saw it on the local board and I just had to post it.

After watching vidoes like that and just looking and imagening what pain and suffering wrecks cause, I think to myself it really is just not worth risking my life or anyone elses driving like a fool.

Damn that's an eye opener... Not so much the accident but the mother's day part. I can deal with my mistakes but my parents shouldn't have to.

Seeing stuff like this and wrecks at the track make you realize you're not invincable.

do you ever imagine what the moment of "******* up" is like? I remember times that I took my car up to see its potential and everything went just fine, but you always have that "man what if....?" inside your head. Glad to see everything went well in that guys case. Wonder if he still likes cars...

Trial and Error in it's purest form.
I think we've all been there and most of us in mild forms, some to extremes.
It's not worth it, take it to the track, and don't get others whom are innocent involved in your stupidity. I.E. whipping through traffic...etc.

Glad to see he's ok.

lets just put it this way, you dont have to be racing for this to happen. I had my dr's on my car one morning after i had gone to the track. it started to rain on a freshly paved road with no traction control ended my cars life. I was fine thank god but just goes to show it can all end in a second. it could have gone the other way very easily for me. oh and my car started to spin at 35 40 tops.

i am just as guilty as the next guy, as far as driving 'spirited' on the street. it comes down to selfishness. do any of us think about our families when we're out 'havin fun' driving agressively on the streets? no, we just feel invincible and want to win! when ur all laid up in the hospital, that's when ur really see 'a mother's/wife's love'. i broke my wrist and then 2 years later my foot, on mothers day (motocross, not stupid driving), but i still felt terrible seeing my mom have to take me to the ER on mother's day. so let's all just take it easy out there.
