Save it for the track. There are plenty of ways to fulfill your need for speed without endangering others. Even driving out on back roads is better then racing through busy streets. __________________

ive heard so many stories of these accidents, seen many, and involved in a couple(i havnt crashed been in other cars). its come to a point where i dont see the point of street racing anymore. it never gave me a thrill only a sense of fear. These accidents dont even faze me anymore all i think now is...stupid idiot kids! Give us bmw drivers in Cali a bad name but then again tracks are really expensive loll JK  __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last

IIRC there is a Cali law that allows confiscation and crushing of your vehicle if you're caught racing on the street, or if your vehicle is used in a street race (you don't need to be behind the wheel).
THAT is expensive if you ask me. __________________

http://www.knbc.com/news/14951420/detail.html Quote: Nigel Guidry, 26, was killed at Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday when the 2007 Infiniti he was driving was struck by a BMW suspected of street racing with another BMW on Sunset.
A second male in the Infiniti died of burns Sunday morning.
The driver of the BMW that struck the Infinit, 21-year-old Carlos Steven John, was arrested on suspicion of DUI and murder.
Authorities are still looking for the driver of the other BMW, which left the scene. That motorist could also be charged with murder. | __________________ ...steven
