Kirk, do you think you could keep it to one topic, please? Either that or just quickly play your Hitler card so we can tap you out.
There was no epiphany that led me to repeatedly suggest to JJ and Gulfer that -they- take a stance with the board they admin. I found the place to stretch my cars legs and have been doing it since before the GTI so kindly stop inferring that's what I bought the car for... or anyone else for that matter. The subject is whether or not to allow, and thereby encourage, kill stories and other tall tales that offer no less equally zero value to the forum. Search my handle. What do I post when I start a thread? Mostly helpful stuff, I hope the critics will agree.
It is not my intention to rob anyone of their Free Speech or right to express themselves in a positive way. I'm suggesting the community big the bigger drivers when it comes to these traffci light challenges of manhood. if anything, I'm trying to encourage all of you to be the example for others to follow... instead of the fool wasting his energy and attracting undue attention to himself.
For the record, that was me. I was the fool, as I said above. I've paid for it in a variety of ways (tickets, fines, restricted driving privileges, damage to public property) and I've been lucky enough to have survived it to share my experience today.
As for my definition of "street racing" I think it's obvious, but I'll elaborate since it seems to be in question. On a public street, not closed from pedestrian nor uninvolved parties, a contest of speed by one or more vehicles where the speed limit is hardly a suggestion. Good enough?
No, I don't peel away from traffic lights any longer. That's "jackrabbit" starting and it dents my fuel economy. I run premium like the car requires and at $3 a gallon already, I want the stuff to go the distance. I won't "roll off" against another car moving next to me either to see who can accelerate faster. I agree that speeding is often the safest way to operate a vehicle when in an appreciable amount of traffic where driving the posted limit would make my car a hazard. The GTI does that nicely. With a little patience and keeping my eyes up, there really hasn't been a need to go significantly faster than anyone around me even if all of us are breaking the limit. Why samsh it and drive up someone's tailpipe just because the car can? To prove to that Civic Si that my car is better no matter what the magazines say? I've already proven that putting my signature on paper with VW.
You proponents could do yourselves a favor by posting why your stories should be posted instead of trying to tag me as a fascist out to steal your freedom. What good does you telling me that you whooped some ricer do whether I read it or not? It's okay if your answer is, "it strokes my ego," as long as it's honest.
