But on another note, yelling at this guy and calling him irresponsible ain't gonna help at all. It just makes people get all defensive. He needs to understand we dont condone this on the board at all. And he also needs to understand that he needs to save it for the track. The street proves nothing.

I might have left this whole thing alone if he didn't decide to go on a most righteous quest to prove how right he is.

I realize we all do stupid things, I've done my share of stupid, I accept that. But if I had one person just tell me right off the bat I was doing something stupid and what the consequences were, I wouldn't have fought with them.

I do get overly concerned when someone doesn't seem to 'get the point' or is too stubborn to just leave well enough alone. He's worried about being stepped on his entire life? I'm sick and tired of people not listening to a shred of decent reasoning when they should be.

Reading through his posts, he constantly goes about trying to rationalize his actions. It wasn't him losing control, so it's ok. And it was the mercedes choice to go as fast as him. How does that make it any better?

How is he going to rationalize it when he kills someone. "well that lady should have looked out for headlights speeding excessively before she pulled into the intersection".

I don't buy it.. I'm not going to take it easy on this kid because he had to 'protect' his honor. If he didn't want to be a 'loser', he shouldn't have acted like one.
