Guess this is where the advice goes out to one and all.  Its not nonly street racing, but speed on a whole. Please I beg of everyone, dont do the speed until you have proven that you know how to control you car in bad situations.  I know there were alot of times that could have been me, and no it isnt only Honda drivers it happens to, since I have seen worse with 3 friends of mine

racing is ALWAYS dangerous and street racing is foolish
you could die and much worse
you could cripple some innocent
you could be in prison for a long long time
there's no way it's worth it
driving is dangerous enuf
don't push your luck

almost everyday i honk at someone
who almost just killed both of us
and then they usually flip me off
i often lean on the horn
it ain't bumpercars...
i drive a heavy lifted 4x with a hooker pushbar sticking out of the front
the possibility is great my vehicle will actually take their head off
and all i did wuz honk at the foo...

been less than a year since i almost flipped on a dirt road that had some slow turns i didn't slow down enuf for
i wouldn't drive without a roll cage
or the protection of the white light of GOD i surround myself with constantly
that's my first line of defense against other drivers

Yeah I almost couldn't tell it was a Honda till I saw what was the engine. Reminds me of the story my friend found about a Grand National. The guy was going like a bat out of hell and hit an old oak tree and tore his car apart. They found the chassie wrapped around the tree and the engine about 100ft down the road and the rest of the car all spread out between the engine and the tree...

Not to make light!         I bet He fet that the next morning.
I like the rims, but I would need a better look.

I hate it when ppl drive crazy on the highway run redlights, ride your ass, pull out infront of you when there is no onw behind you, driving under the speed limit for no reason and my personal favorite is when people stop on the on-ramps or slow down instead of speeding-up to merge with trafic those.
I hate stupid people.esp. when they drive.

in one picture it looks like theres a some blood on the grass right by that dudes feet standing next to the car.

That driver musta been killed... i mean, thats a RHD car and the right side took that whole hit... its so bad that you can even find the driver's seat in the wrecage.
