Default Highway

Well, tonight I went out to Niles and of course, took the highway to get there.

I sorta wake up when traffic nears and become a monster at the wheel.. In an out of traffic.
Not as fast as you'd think, but enough to make me feel better about my life lol.

Anyway, a guy on a crotch rocket starts playing along.
Slowly we engage in a little friendly battle of traffic "dodging"

I can't really explain a whole lot, just that it was fun as hell
and we kept our distance from eachother.
Gotta remind myself its alot more dangerous for the guy.

As we get close to Shaumburg he turns off going south.
I gave a couple honks and we waved.

That was deffinatly a nice encounter.
gotta tip my hat

I'd haveto say it was close to this, at night, not as many vehicles, and not as intense as this.
I'm sure the vid is a repost

Yeah thats very nice to hear guys.
Racing from a dig directly next to someone is even more safe
Let alone racing in general.
So who's to say what I did was more dangerous?
Is it that im already at accoplished speeds and not exceeding anymore?
Dont really haveto worry about wheel spin.
But when you dig and sqeal the tires with a vehicle less then 5 feet to the side of you on city streets or even suburban areas, whats to say that isnt as dangerous?

So why is it that I got bashed and people who ACTUALLY street race are congratualted on a kill or death (not literally, just tearms of win and lose)

Dont even bother posting then.
Read and be done with it.

It's because your racing in and out of traffic where if you crash you would probably take out a couple of people.

If I race from a dig against another car on a deserted street and something happens, it's only me and the other guy who was also racing.

You crashing into another car or cars that was just cruising along on the highway cause it makes you "feel better about your life" by weaving in and out of traffic is totally different. And what do you accomplish by beating someone cause you're willing to cut other people off?

I'm not even going to comment on your "excuse" to why you are somehow, weaving in and out of traffic, less dangerous then a person on an empty road.

Please are you really that asinine?

Im not saying im less dangerous then someone on an empty road.
Just because no one states the road as empty, doesn't really mean it is.
My excuse does not at all imply empty roads pal.
