This is the same kinda thing that happens when some F'N STUPID kid gets the idea he's gonna shoot some people. I guess whenever people see a movie they can be influenced to do or say things that can be either positive or negative depending on the movie and circumstances. If I go see a movie thats got racing or something it makes me feel like going fast but DUH I dont go out and start flying around town for no reason. I myself have lived through TWO terrible crashes.
I personally have more sense that to go out and do the street racing thing in town. If your gonna do it go out of town on the interstate or backroads. There is a place around were I live that we call three lanes, Its a REALLY wide two lane that we go to some times and see some great american car street racing. Some trucks eve nshow up sometimes and do fairly well.
I watch "Gone in Sixty Seconds" at least once a week, though that car is freakin bad *** is doesn't make me want to go out and start stealing cars. I think people are just looking for an excuse to come to reason with things they can't control. If everyone would just chill out just a little we would be ok. More than likely the people that are critizing our street racing now are the same guys that had hot rods when they were young. Now granted i'm sure some of these people are the women that are to straight laced to even know how to have a good time (no offense to any on here, because if you drive a stang you know). Its all in good fun or should be. Just remember to KEEP IT SAFE AND DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.
