"May God have mercy on your souls if your immature behaviour ever leads to pain or suffering on behalf of an innocent bystander."
I respect what you think about my behaviour, however, do not bring your/my faith into this. Why? Because there was no innocent bystander and making assumptions about what COULD have happened is quite immature in and of itself especially when you add that line about having mercy on my soul.
If my reference to God somehow offended you, then I apologize. My intent was not to suppress or influence your personal religous beliefs. My intent was to demonstrate the fact that in spite of your incredibly selfish and immature behaviour, I made my post with your safety and well being in mind.
Having said that, I still admonish your behaviour in the strongest terms and question your maturity. Feel free to ping away at me online but the facts are the facts.
You chose to race on public streets. As such, you chose to break the law. In addition, you made a conscious decision that your fun was more important than the safety of anyone else in the area or on the road.
Your comment that there were no innocent bystanders is pure horse crap. The gentleman you foolishly raced even points to a squad car being in the area. So you were not alone, despite your rediculous assumption. Either way, lets give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you might have been fortunate enough to not have anyone esle sharing the road. That doesn't mean that you didn't run the risk of blowing a tire, losing control and going through someone's back yard.
I live in work in the immediate vicinity of your childish antics. I grew up here in S. Orange County and have many family and friends that live here. So for you to tell me that I'm unreasonable to ask you to consider them is not only stupid, but frankly offensive.
Senna was killed in a car. Zanardi lost his legs. And those are just two quick examples of some of the greatest race drivers of our time that have links to the NSX. What makes you think you're a better driver than they are and you can somehow take those kinds of chances on public streets and come out smelling like roses. Yes, driving is a dangerous activity. That's why there's rules, laws, and required licensing. Selfish, immature, and egotistical persons arbitrarily decide that they're above that and put the rest of us in danger because of that.
Maybe you're lucky enough to not have lost someone you cared about in a car accident, drunk driving incident or the like. I'm not and I say so not to ask for your sympathy but in the hopes that nobody else has to live with the pain that I, and thousands like me, do because someone made bad decisions behind the wheel.
