Ok. I give you credit for giving an intelligent response.

But I still don't condone wreckless driving on public roads.

Here is my thinking as to why everyone is so heated---- One reason people are getting pissed younger owners are buying these cars is because you have people posting things like "yeah I like to drive with my 140db exhaust setting off car alarms and pissing people off." When an owner acts like a jerk-off, the police are going to start profiling all S2000 owners in their area. I don't care if other car enthusiasts think I have a ricer car- I care if the cops do. I get pulled over enough as it is obeying traffic laws. I mess around drifting here and there but I do it in an industrial park late at night which is not in close proximity to homes. I have done it on roads late at night in unpopulated areas where I can see cars coming in advance.

Everytime a s2000 is crashed, the insurance rates go higher then they already are. So every wanna be initial D here is risking screwing up everyone elses rates because of their "drifting." Thats excluding other even more important things like possibly hurting others, etc.

Thats why I get heated up seeing young kids, who are obvious not suited for this car yet, going around being stupid like this.

You can say "oh its safe, its safe" all you want but being stupid on a PUBLIC is never safe no matter how you do it.

Because maybe someone will read what I said which will cause them to rethink their driving habbits and possibly save an innocent life down the road.

I think that is worth one million times more then just pissing you off.


BTW, I worked on my local first aid squad for 2 years and I'm still a NJ EMT-b. I know what car accidents do to the human body. Its ****ing moronic to say you like the risk of running into a pole especially if you had half a clue what it will do to you and your car.
