Good point.... I guess its the chance I take for trying to share the experience with others. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt me.

If it makes you feel any better, it's much harder than most people think to get prior bad acts admitted in to evidence.

patrickt,
My comment was directed more at civil suits than criminal prosecution. In seeking punitive damages, I can envision a litigator using video to show that someone has a history of reckless driving.

I would try and get it in by alleging that the visibility out of the car was inherently limited and his video of him doing a 100mph down a city street would help show the jury the visibility problems from a "bird's eye view."

Car sounded great and your passenger seemed to enjoy the ride. I'm sure everyone jumping on you for blast on the street have done the same more than once.

Looks fun. I watched the rolling puch to 100 about five times. The car is quick. Drag radials make that engine all the more fun.

In my opinion texting on a cell phone is more dangerous.

Your car is wickedly quick I don't know how you keep it straight.
What tires do you have?

Yeah, I'd retiterate to be careful what you post.

I got a couple really stupid comments after posting This video on youtube
Considering it was late at night, deserted roads, and we didn't really do anything except make some noise with the tires.

Next driving videos, for me, are at the track.
