MX-3.com

you have my support on this, no question.<BR>while i like to drive fast, i am not really into 'beating' anyone. it's the speed and getting to know my car even better, how it handles, takes a curve or holds a line. one of the beauties of driving the mazda mx-3 is how well it handles and looks and feels. being 'one' with the car. (too zen?)<BR>anyway, it's more important to stay safe. my opinion...

This is true.

thank you, and with the street racing caused death in Canada w/ a mx-3 involved, it's time the posts stop. all i can say is be safe.

my opinion, u are all a bunch of hypocrits, i can garuntee, that just about EVERYONE on here has been involved in a street race at one time or another, i just think its funny that this is one of the only boards on the net that i have seen that doesnt have a special column for street kills, or atleast doesnt care if u post them, but i will abide by these rules as "shoddy" as i may think they are, just because i enjoy the rest of this board a great deal

This is HIS board, and so we have to obey what he says if we want to keep on comming here. As you know, it would be cheaper for him, and extremely easy for him to shut down the whole site. That would be like me raggin on you for something that you believe in that I don't. Just be courteous to Jeff, and one of these days someone on this board will make a site that will allow that, but as long as we're on this site, we should keep it to outselves.

90% of the stories everyone tells are not tru anyways.... so who cares about street racing stories anyway... because most of the stories told are EXAGGERATED.... so forget about it.

seconded!<BR>Street racing is stupid. We have a place here called Rivergate that people goto race all the time. Its raided all the time due to several people being killed because of out of control cars. Dont be stupid. Take it to the track.<p>[ December 04, 2001: Message edited by: Custommx3 ]

I hear you brother. My buddy just died last year, crashing his new BMW 330 into a telephone pole after flipping six times and being thrown out of the side window. It was horrible,they found him in pieces the next morning. All to prove he could beat an Audi. He was only 17. Its all cool untill it hits close home. I know its a rush but THINK of the consequences. Before you get behind the wheel, think of your family friends girlfriend etc and imagine how they would feel if they lost you, or even worse, if you strike an innocent person or some kid on the street. Imagine getting a call from the hospital or the police saying that your mother, father, sister, brother, or a friend has been hit by a car racing down the road. Don's get me wrong, I love fast cars and the rush of racing. I know I will never be the fastest driver out there. You dont need to race a rice civic to prove to your self that you are better, because there are even some family cars which would probably kick your a--. We are not driving super-cars here and there is nothing to prove. I dont want to be a hippocrate, I sometimes goof off and might rev my engine and do a little 0-60, but I will never set up races and act all herdcore. I dont want to blab too much. But I 've seen what could happen and its not cool.

yeah, i don't race in my RS! it's an auto. i'm pretty sure a stick geo metro would beat me! about 10 yards past my street, approx. .1mile, from my house, TWO people have crashed and died in less than 4 years. both were drunk driving accidents, but due to trying to take the curve too FAST. everyother sunday, this one guy's(he was 18) mother comes out and replants flowers around the tree their car hit. his buddy was drving he was passenger. everytime i leave me house, i see 2 graves. even if i had a fast car, there's a track about 35min away.

It would be neck and neck with the MX-3 GS. My second car was a 92 MX-3 GS. Now I own a 95 Dodge Dakota Sport. As the years have passed, from age 16 to where I am now, at 19, I have completely reformulated my ideas about street racing. In the past, I would race almost anything that revved on me. I'm NOT saying I have completely stopped racing, but I am "phasing it out." It's always fun to go fast, but those times are few and far between now.<P>I'm hoping to do some upgrades to my truck now, mainly because it will help me in passing cars on the 2-lane road that I drive back to college. Just this month, I misjudged distances, the car that I was passing had to brake for me and I'm sure the car coming at me also had to brake.<P>I know Jeff is not trying to stop street racing. A lot of people visit this site, some who are new to the car scene, and who do not have an opinion on street racing. With a lot of street racing posts, more people are likely to think, "Hey, that guy beat this kind of car, I wanna try it too."<P>I don't care what you think about me, but I'm with Jeff in being against promoting illegal activity.<P>Think of it this way: (for example) The San Diego zoo has a bulletin board on animals. Elephant poachers decide they're going to post on their elephant kills, etc. Although it's a zoo related site, that one aspect of the animal kingdom is illegal, therefore there shouldn't be any complaining when the zoo decides to crack down.<P>I hope I haven't made anyone mad. I'm just posting my thoughts, not attacking anyone, or saying I'm perfect.<P>Whew, I'm done.

ok i didnt ever say that i was bashing on his rules, i said that all the people that are agreeing with him are hypocrits, because they are making its sound like they hardly race, and im pretty certain that i have seen there names on other posts talkin bout their kills, and by the way i dun see what wrong with posting about kills at an abandond airport that THE CITY gave us permission 2 use, jeff would it be ok for me to post about this as long as i say that its a secure enviorment with no bystanders and is regulated by cops every 15-20 min >??, it would be cool if u would, its the same as a drag strip cept no timers, and there have been baricades set up the keep the cars separated for bout the 1st quarter of the track, hope i can post about this, cause it about as close to a track as we come without driving 2 hours

It just so happens that I just got in from a drag race, not but 10 minutes ago. 0.65 mi "track". But I'm not going to post the details, as Jeff has requested.

this might sound retarded but..... survival of the smartest.... its good that the shitty drivers die, they are the idiots that cause all the havok.... keep em off the roads permanently.... sorta of a survival of the slowest and safest view.... or best driver.<P> [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
