The guys profile says he's from Chino Hills where I lived through high school. He's gotta be talking about Carbon Canyon. Many people have died there driving like idiots. It's not even that great of a road. More dangerous than anything. That sux.

That sucks, I get upset with some of those kids, it's just stupid what they try sometimes. We all have done stupid ---- before, but sometimes it comes down to common sense.

dam, some ---- kinda like that happened to me about a year back. heres the story:

me and my buddy go out to test drive a jetta. i start off driving it, then he says he wants to test drive it. so i let him, we are moving about 75-80mph, on a straight road, pretty decent straight-a-way but only 2 lanes. anyways, we are approaching a big *** blazer at 80mph really dam fast, he tries to pass, oversteers it, sends us sideways, I yell"countersteer" so he tries, and we slam into the back left corner of this blazer (the bottom of his bumper to our hood) and it sent the blazer sideways, then flipped it upside down, the blazer slid about 500 yds(according to the police report) upside down. we just slid to a stop. luckly there was a roll bar inside the blazer which saved the people inside. no one hurt, but the moral of the story, dont let friends dirve your car...at decent speeds...

dam. that ---- sucked.

wtf? no pics? I call bs. I've never raced passed 70-80mph, because in every race I've run either I was ahead enough at that speed or they were ahead enough at that speed to say 'alright you won'. it really sucks when people get hurt from doing stupid stuff, people just need to think about what they're doing more and not let their emotions take the wheel away from common sense.

yes, puto, after about 5 minutes of hard acceleration on a long smoothe road I've had the speedo fully used up and then some on my y1 tranny I was at 7600rpm in 5th when the engine wouldn't rev any higher, that might have something to do with my all factory tiny *** crush bent exhaust with my fart can on the end to speed up those exhaust gasses.
