CMON' now we all goose the fun pedal every now and then.

With other people in the car though do it in a sane manner. I tend to stick to straight wide open roads for this. The twisties tend to upset stomachs.

Even though you think you are in control you might only be fractions from being out of control.

I've thought exactly the same thing on multiple occasions and then the back end breaks loose and then I'm in a spin or sideways at least.

Save the crazy driving for the track, where you can hit barriers and collide head on into things and perhaps you'll walk away with nothing more than a broken leg.

Unhappy

Just think about how you would feel if your kid was injured b/c of your aggressive driving.

That should slow you down.

If not.... You got some deeper issues.

GL solving this!!! You'll need it

Any suggestions?
Why someone who drives (or claims to drive) as you do worries about losing a license baffles me. Would you actually park the car if your license were suspended? I didn't think so. Just a second... phone ringing...... Okay, I'm back... it was the Darwin Awards--they said not to worry, that problems like yours usually take care of themselves.

UNFREAKIN BELIEVABLE, if your son is old enough to be married, you should be old enough to know better......

This is like giving a crack addict more crack when you put a Porsche in the hands of someone who likes to speed.

There is usually a thread like this every year. Glad we are getting it out of our system in August. Until next year...
