Why will a 2nd gen rx7 never be regarded as a true sports car? because 90% of the people who own them are in the same age bracket as the kids who buy and rice up honda and acura's ... seriously.. how can other drivers take a car as a serious peice of machinery when most of the time they see teenagers buying them, drive like idiots and then blow their motors or crash them..one of the reasons why an FC will never appreciate in value.. they are too kid racerish..
I know.. this has nothign to do with the topic.. I just started feeling old.. that's all..

yeah, i know i got all the old people offended, basically telling them to stfu. But hey, i never zig zag out of traffic, i never ever cut off anyone, well i have b4, just once those. You know the "Code" you were talkin about? It's still there....but subconciously. I do not cut people off, i do not speed the fastest i have everg one was in my moms car. 150 KM/h not even 100mph, so why dont you reread all the post, take alook at the history of my posts. And get it that i do not street race in urban areas. U know what? i have not even street raced b4, so why are you tellin me i SHOULDN'T when i haven't! the only racing i have ever done is at the goat cart track. An taking people off the line. I do know that i have an attitude and a short fuse. But why flame when i haven't done anything wrong, the only reason why i posted this is because of people that are excited about what happened and then they get verbally **** kicked.

If you think I flamed you, you have no idea that a flame is...
You want a flame?  I'll give you a taste of what I call a flame...
You gotta out of your ******' mind to think you can post whatever you want and catch no flak.  I've seen reponses where you tried to control where your thread went?  Do you own this place?  I don't think so.  This place is not your playground.  If you were mature about the whole thing, you wouldn't let all of this get to you.  You seriously need some professional help.  You taking all this **** seriously - I can see you getting red in face all the way from here.  Get a clue - we are posting our OPINIONS.  We don't like what you say, and we're telling you straight in your face.  I would like to think we live in a world where we are free to say what we think.  I know this is assuming a lot of things, and the Internet is not just the U.S., but I like to hope that idea of free speech is something that is shared with most people.  If I have offended anyone on this free speech-speech, I apologize.  We are not here to baby sit your ***.  I'm here to help people with their FC problems.  This is not a godamn FC problem.  I'm not here to hold your hand.  I'm sorry you feel I'm insulting you or whatever you want to call it.  This has nothing to do with helping owners with the FC's so it has no bearing on what I'm doing in here.  You got to be pretty stupid to think you can post such crap and not get a single acid response to what you said?  You gotta be kidding me - you're more stupid that I thought.
Look at all the responses that's piled up in here since you're posted the original post.  You don't think you did something wrong?  Hell, technically you didn't - but you sure stepped on a bunch of toes.
Read the WHOLE thread again.  You wanna race on the street?  Go right ahead.  I didn't say not to - don't believe me?  Read all my **** again.  What I said is to NOT KILL ANYONE...

The eternal struggle for everyone to force people into believing their opinion. Opinions are like ********, everyones got one, but sometimes we just don't want to know about it. And btw, ted's right more than you'll ever admit to. It's a natural trait not to admit to it, but that still doesn't mean it's not true.

I see an Army recruiter in your future.
If there are cars and/or people don't do it. If the situation is within reason I'll indulge. no weaving, no blasting thru intersections, etc...just use common sense.

Heheh.. I just took the time to re-read all the posts in this thread... I don't really have much to say about the whole street racing issue..
However, I belive that this thread has exposed a greater threat than street racing.. The state of our educational system...
I'm sure many can post several instances where they have seen spelling mistakes and gramatical errors in my messages.. However most are due to smacking the wrong keys because of lazy fingers, rather than complete ignorance of the english language... at the very least, my messages can still be deciphered into meaningfull and coherent text..
How is it that these kids can actually get their licenses when they can barely spell their own names?? Actually the spelling problem isn't as bad as the grammar.. It's almost like they are speaking in some sort of I'm-an-ignorant-17 yearold code.. Is this Eubonics for stupid people??
oh well.. enough ranting..
You know, as a canuck, I grew up with the notion that the education system in the U.S. was inferior to ours.. Canadian RX just disproved that whole notion to me..

I never said it offended me, nor did I imply it, I simply stated you should abide by it. If you preach it, live it. Deal with people's opinions. This entire thread is based upon your dislike of other peoples opinions. Get out your band-aid's and deal with it. Don't bother responding to me, theres nothing else you can say that will possibly have any effect unless you openly admit you're guilty of not following your own advice.

Don't infringe on others property rights, and don't endanger the kids in the neighborhoods. If you've got the guts to street race, have the guts to admit responsibility for any damage that you cause. And remember, if you're the person who tagged my truck, I'm still looking for you.

I am sooo glad the F1 season started! 
Or else I'd be like RarestRX and ShOt Em Up LikE A MAd Yo!
Me mad?  Nah, I used to do the flame wars **** waaaay back in the day (hey RarestRX, does "back in the day" count as NorCal?), but I was always smiling when I'm typin...
Seriously, I'm beyond preaching to the world - hell nobody listens to me anyways.
I do it cause I like to voice my opinion - that's it.  This is the reason why I get online - it's all entertainment to me.
I only watch TV nowadays to watch F1.  Why would I watch TV to watch the worlds degenerates fly a commercial jet into a building in New York?  Or that sports thing that happened in Utah a few days ago?
The world is screwed up as it is.  I just hope I don't screw it up even more...
3 more hours till qualifying! muAhHhHAhAahAHAHhahAHaHAHAha
