[b]Casaleenie,

I am reading all this holier than thou stuff from a lot of people about how they never speed , never street race, drive their Cobras slower than their street cars, etc. in the same breath they are pissing on this poor guy who just got killed. Give me a break! Remember - it could just as easily have been any one of us who got killed - who among us has not taken our cars over a hundred - just once? Be honest. What if a tire blew out, or something, at that time....?

Sorry PAL, but no, it couldn't just as easily have been any one of us who got killed... Some people just don't take the stupid chances other people take... Sure, I could get broadsided or have a tire blow out and loose control but it would not be in a racing situation... Was the posting a little pompous? Possibly...
Have I ever had a car up to 100mph.. NOOOO! Sorry, but just never did it... I've had cars going faster then they should have been going but not to 100. I've jumped on the car but never to perform for anyone... and never with a passenger in it.. I've got a lot more learning to do in that car...
and I can survive the fact that you question the posting... It's just a burden I'll have to bear... I can flat live with that....

Here's another one for you .... I never took drugs....or smoked a joint..... Deal with it!!!!!
