JR, I couldn't agree with you more. That stupid movie just fueled trouble for all the real hardcore guys out there.

Now that I have the Stang, a 12 sec car on street tires and 11's on slicks, I don't even want to street race anymore. 1st, the ammount of people that could even keep up with me is very small, second, most of them run at the track like me. Just like in Spiderman; "With power comes responsiblity".

My uncle beleives in the "old car" way and he did well. My cousin Alison scrapped a perfectly good Pontiac 6000 into a garbage truck while doing a shoulder check for too long. All new drivers make mistakes like that. If it would've been a good car it would've been bad but thankfully, it was just an old car.

So my kids will probably start on an old Civic like the one I have now. If it's good enough for me, it's good enough for them.
