No. Because we know how to NOT drive like jackasses on the street.

yeah, and if you stole a car and drove like that you'd end up in jail. Thats usually how they catch those guys.

You need some training man. Take it easy and save up some money to go to the track with an instructor. Either that or save up some money for your deductible.

The first time I expirienced oversteer I went all the way around. Ever since then, I know what it feels like now so I've been able to correct it. It's a good learning expirience though. You should know the limits of your car.

I don't remember reading anything about him racing another car on the highway or on the exist.

Reading is fundamental.

"I took a turn off a local highway" yes reading is fundamental but can you read
I don't know about you but I see a car or two on the highway

Again, reading is fundamental...

If somebody said they took a turn to fast off the highway, you don't tell them to stop street racing and keep it on the track. Neither you or I know if there was another car encounter, so we can only base or statement on what he wrote and what he wrote had nothing to do with him racing another car.

Agreed. People are hurling stones like they don't ever drive agressively except for on the track. Frankly, if you say that I just don't believe you. So what? He made a silly mistake. Now he more accurately knows the limits of his car. I'm pretty sure each one of us is guilty for throwing our RA's around a corner at more than the posted speed of it. No one, or car was hurt thankfully, and now he knows he should pick up a rear strut tower brace, or lower tie bar, and perhaps some better tires.

i don't street race and i usually don't drive agressivley. but right after i put a new part in or sometimes when im in the mood, i test her out a little bit. i don't put her up to 100 in a 35 or anything but as long as your not a complete moron playing around sometimes is ok.
