That's not to say I would never race anyone on the street again. I'd like to tell you I never would but sometimes my ego is bigger than my mind.
When it comes to ******** hot chicks, we park our cars in the same garage my friend! Although I'm not as focuessed on getting my trap speed up .. and I rarely refer to my short time ;-)

Come on now...in the big scheme of things, street racing is FAR from the most dangerous thing on our roads.
Heck, street racing accounts for less 150 fatailties each year (mostly the street racers themselves). Now compare that to big-rigs, which account for 100 fatalities *each week*, or 5,200 per year. Also drunk drivers, distracted drivers, sleepy drivers, etc...all cause much, more more harm that street racers do.
Sure, any fatality is a bad thing...but street racing accidents are small scale stuff. Doesn't even register on the radar compared to the real killers listed above. It's just happens to be flavor of the month for the press, so we hear about each accident, each and every time one happens (which again, is pretty rare).

. The problem is you have a few people that decide to street race when they shouldn't! in traffic, in small streets, by schools....etc. The media gets a hold it and run with it! IMHO ...tom

Sean - $90K????? That is for a 98 with less than 10k miles that is in perfect shape = aka MY CAR. You can buy a TT Supra in good shape for $25k, another $30k for motor, fuel, engine management, labor and tuning and you're making 1,000 rwhp all day long. Total = $55k.
