I've been saying (roughly) the same thing for years... but noone that matters has been listening.
We can mod our cars and not be branded as criminals. Rather, we should be able to mod our cars and not be branded as criminals. The earlier statement is wishful thinking and should be stricken from the record.
The hand-wringers counter with "how do we know if the mods are safe that have been performed?"
Look for the primered everything. The duct tape and visible neon bars and electrical tape "cat tails" hanging down everywhere. The general disrepair and disregard for one's ride makes it all too evident that you don't give a s*** about the condition of it nor the quality of the work put into it.
Of course, there are genuine half-assed efforts that are harder to see (those intake vortex generators, anyone?), and so we have to hope the cops are vigilant and that Darwinism weeds out the dangerous ones without dragging the public into it.
Like Jim said... 4 speed-related crashes per year. Drunk drivers kill HOW MANY a year? Gun-related deaths? That's what I thought.
