man, i can't even comment on this...
seriously,WTF is wrong with people nowadays???

Holy shit dude...

Just more proof of how society is going down the pan...

AND THATS why neons are bad for you!! :stick:

holy crap. I don't think I'd be able to keep my cool like you did in a situation like that :P good that you got out alright man. I hate anyone that thinks a Dodge Neon is fast in the first place...

Wow that was certainly something I'm here in Miami and I havent heard jack squat about it. Where is Orange county at exactly?

Read about this a few days ago. Just goes to tell you how crazy some people are in this world. Street racing is one thing, but street racing AND kidnapping cus YOU, not them, but you caused the damage, that's just idiotic and crazy. Thank goodness the cops got there on time otherwise the guy might be dead.

He forgot to put the story in a quote tag. It wasn't him. I've fixed the post so it's easier to tell that he was quoting a news story.

Anyway, crazy stuff. Figures. God damn. *sigh*

i just watched the video... goddamn thats crazy. a gun?

its completely the driver of the neons fault for not being able to see what the hell is in front of you. its these retards that give street racing a bad reputation. if its ur fault why not just be a man and accept the consequences. instead of beating up the person who was in ur way. god damn i hate mofos like these ppl. i know accidents to happen in street racing, but damn how could he NOT see a damn truck?

well i reckon racing should be kept in two ways. legal and games. street racing, no matter how cool it sounds, is really dangerous even if precautions are taken... so, its everyones fault be even being there. IMO btw.

geo has a point, but i grew up arounds cars, so im all for it. but these days (years after FNF), kids are getting stupider and stupider. reason is these days young kids street race while they are not cautious and most important DONT HAVE SKILLS. you need at least a few years of driving experience before street racing not to mention you gotta know cars. ive had friends that are only 18 and start street racing when they didnt know much about cars. that is just stupid. 90% of kids these days that are getting into the tuning/street racing scene dont know the difference between real and games. they watch too much fast n furious and think speeding is cool. im not gonna lie, its an adrenaline rush. ive done it. but you have to know ur limit, as in...ur skills/how well tuned ur car is. my message is to those kids. STICK TO YOUR DAMN GAMES UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO TUNE A CAR/HOW THEY WORK!! cuz ever since stupid ass fast and furious, street racing problems/accident have skyrocketed

im totally for having a nice car yeh, but to actually race with it and potentially damage it, not worth your money. im only 16, and you might think "oh a young kid just wants to play with big cars with big engines", but take a deeper look at our modern age. is it really our fault for liking cars that sound like theyre going to literally tear up the road. i blame the media. and by media i mean FnF. honestly, these days, some kids in the racing scene cant even control a car at high speeds let alone avoid traffic when necessary. theyre basically only risking their lives for no reason other than to be "cool".

sigh... some people these days... hopefully they could have gotten insurance for that kind of shit, but NO they HAD to kidnap that guy...

You know I see a lot of people blaming FnF for this. Shame on you. That's the same mentality that goes for concerned soccer moms that goes and sees a violent video game and immediately blames her child's sociopathic tendencies on that and heavy metal music. Are you going to be as bad as they are and blame an artform (loosely) in which one sublimates their fantasies rather than people who are so deluded they cannot seperate fiction from reality. Be bigger than that. FnF and the media may portray a thing- a commercial may make you want a car; a movie may make you want to race.

But if we watched every revenge fantasy movie and DIDN'T want to kill people, I'd say the movie wasn't very effective. Just because you watch Death Wish in which Charles Bronson kill 50 gang members with few reprecussions or a Batman movie doesn't mean you go out and become a vigilante.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. In the end, we cannot defend ourselves from stupidity, whether our own or others no matter how hard we try. The best one can do is show people what happens when you're stupid and let the people who do the act take responsibility rather than blaming the media. The media's slanted, yes. But don't use it as a crutch. It makes you look pathetic and weak. I have little respect for it. You people are bigger than this. Don't be as stupid as the soccer mom blaming Mortal Kombat because her child is an idiot.

The news story is in Orange County, Florida. Not So-Cal.

oh whoops my bad.

Wow dude. Thank goodness you're alright. I would have been really scared if I was in your position. I'm also glad those people got caught. Races are cool, but the people involved in them are not. Oh and I totally agree with The J.

madness i say! pure madness!

Holy crap man, poor guy glad i left that scene years ago. Ive seen bad accidents since the racing was done when i used to live with my parents. I remember a kid killed his GF after losing control and running into the wrong side of the road and ramming head on into a intrepid i didnt see the accident but i did see the girl dead in the middle of the road.

Would love to see the looks on theyr faces when the police arrived :P but yea, every place has its fair share of morons and here they come wearing trainers and driving BMW's...
