You KNOW I have to comment on this one

My wife was in a bad accident 3 weeks after I met her because of stupid sh!t like this.  It caused problems for her for almost a year.

That being said, NOBODY in this world is perfect, and pool_shark admitted it was a stupid thing to do.  I don't agree with it either, but hell, I'm not innocent.  I'm not going to judge him either by what he did, not at all.   I've done stupid things like that, and you know what, when I think back at the possible consequences, that alone keeps me from making those same mistakes again. 

I also agree with GreenShirt though.  Yeah, that whole situation was F'd up.  I am against that, but hell, I've done it before.  I'll never ever do it again, but I've never done it in my H3, that's for sure.  I have, however raced off the line, but not in a residential area or one where the speed limit is 25MPH. 

My point is, everybody makes mistakes and does stupid things.  NOBODY in this world is perfect, and maybe if you are a perfect driver, you may be a wife beater,  treat people like crap, be racist, sexist, etc, or, he could be one of the nicest people in the world, and just did something other's consider dumb, or was in-fact dumb.  Whatever the case is, nobody is perfect, and we all do dumb things.  

Greenshirt says he is trying not to judge you by this one incident, but somehow it got a little ugly.   If one of you had a best friend that did it and told you the story, you might tell him he was an idiot, etc, but it most likely would be said and done in a few minutes.  

Just let it go.  It's not worth all the BS.  I think the point was the guy thought since it was an H3, it was a slug.  He proved him wrong, for his own gratification, and was sharing the story.  That's it.  Regardless of whether we all think it was wrong to do isn't really the point.  I certainly don't agree with it at all, but hell, what's the point of arguing about it? If you want, start another thread about people that drive crazy.

And yeah, I get annoyed as hell about people driving 30 in a 35, don't turn on red with no signs and no cars, and so forth, so pool_shark, I'm right with you there buddy.  I say, if you can't drive right, stay off the road.  If you are going to hold people up, let them pass, but you don't own the road and make the rules, so stop trying to be the enforcer, because alot of them do, but I don't want to mow a kid or animal over either in the process

Just so nobody gets their boobies in a twist, when I said "You don't make the rules" I was talking about the people who think it's their duty to force me to drive 10 MPH below the speed limit on a sunny day in a one lane street because their way is the right way.  I didn't mean that towards pool shark. 

I can only imagine that mess

Maybe you're one of those drivers I hate driving behind, the kind that drive 30 in a 35, or 40 in a 50.  Wrong.

Maybe you're the type that won't turn right on red even though there is no sign preventing you from doing so.  Wrong.

If you don't want to drive fast that's your perogative, but not everyone has to bend to your will.  You just don't get it.  I actually DO enjoy driving fast, and tend to drive 5-10 over the limit in most areas.  But that is MUCH different than street racing somone @ 70 in a 25.  

You're taking one event and turning it into the crime of the century. You're too tense.  Not tense at all really.  Just exercising my right to share my opinion.  Just like everyone else.
