In responce to your analogy about steering/suspension components on a 100k mi/km car... there are laws for that. You cannot drive an unsafe vehicle at any point- not just when you transfer ownership I.e. A saftey.
As well- there are laws about careless driving I.e. Street racing. If all the ricers and street racers would stick to industrial roads on weekends or backroads in the country instead of during traffic and in residential streets- then they wouldn't have brough street racing into the lime light and therfore not be an issue.
Does your city/county/town/province/state have RIDE programs? Where a line of cops funnel traffic to check for DWI's on a Friday night? Is that a political agenda also?
Anytime that pressure gets put on street racing in any form, it's a good idea. You never know- it may be your mom/father/daughter/son/BEST FRIEND that gets killed. Don't say it will never happen (Famous last words, my friend)
To also respond on legislating/controlling anything fun/semi-dangerous... wake up and look around. People NEED a babysitter cause they can't 1)control the circumstances 2)take responsibility 3)respect others.
I'm not saying all 100% of people need a leash, but even if only 10% do- that is worth having the law look out for the rest of the 90%

You're wrong. Dead wrong, and your attitude sickens me. There needs to be an island for people like you. Lemmings, nothing more. Without reason, thought, or debate you simply make decisions as if it was your choice to judge people as a whole? You're the same kind of idiot listening to sob stories, and basing your decision not on right or wrong, but on whoever has the most heartwrenching tale. I'm sick of you idiots. Where do you come from? Is there a way for us to keep you from breeding?
Why don't you get rid of that GT convertable? You don't deserve to drive it. There is no legitimate reason to own a GT vs a 6cyl. What do you want the extra power for? If you're using the extra power, which you are or you wouldn't have purchased it, then you're nothing more than a hypocritical, self righteous, moron.
You show you unending stupidity by bringing my statement about older cars being banned from the roads because they are dangerous,
BUT I DID NOT SAY THAT . I drive a 1987 Mustang GT with 160,000 miles on it. It's a safe car, maintained and roadworthy. My comment, which you so stupidly attempted to manipulate, was pointing out the inherent problems with grouping people together based on a isolated or unusual circumstance. If you think I'm going to let you manipulate what I say, you're sadly mistaken. People do NOT need to be controlled, Mr. Communist. They need to be free to enjoy their life and pursuit of happiness.
Your ridiculous question as to why I made this a political issue is answered with, IT IS A POLITICAL ISSUE. Why don't you pull your head out of your rear end (I'm not talking cars here, buddy), and learn to make decisions based on a little research, instead of what some news anchor or politician tells you? Why would you even attempt to debate me? You're obviously incapable of thinking for yourself, and as such, you're horribly unprepared to even think about starting a debate with me.
When you learn to think for yourself, gain real experience in issues, or do some unbiased research, you can try and debate me. Until then, you're the ricer of today's issues in society, and I will give you not one shred of credit.
