I get goosebumps when I slam my brakes cause some domestic driving idiot in a POS pickup/SUV decides he wants in my lane. This has occured three times in the past 3 or 4 months.

Only once have I ever witnessed a single act of stupidity by any modified car . Just last week an older Dodge Ram blows by me doing at least double the speedlimit. These domestic truck owners have little regard for safety, they are proven idiots who rarely wear seatbelts.

Dateline as expected fails to cover anything newsworthy. Now some paranoid mom will rush out and buy another SUV, which leads to the America's growing dependancy on foreign oil. That though is a real issue, one which will never see coverage on television.

DAMN, I thought I was bad. I dont think I have the guts to do any of that stuff they were doing. And in rush hour??!!! Are you kidding me. You cant get any dumber than that. Have I street raced before? Yes. All the damn time back in high school. But after seeing some random *** ppl get into accidents, I aint messing around with that stuff to much. I only mess around late at night/early morning on a highway with my closest friends who I know there driving style. Nothing in this world is worth killing yourself over.

Im on that same road five days a week.......that is just plain stupid!!! Im into fast cars and bikes more than most, and I can drive them......but I do not see the point in choosing those conditions to show off my skills. In the DC area there are more than 2 choices of good local drag strips.....no excuse for that ****. Those are the idiots that kill families, and make it bad for the rest of us. Try riding a sport bike in the DC Metro area and you will know what I mean.....your singled out by the police like you wouldnt believe.

Aint nothing cool about what their doing!!

That's the same loser guy from MTV's street racing documentary. Looks like he lost his hot GF and lives with his mom now. Still trying to make those Hondas fast.
