its simple, dont streetrace and you wont have any problems
these kids dont just randomly run into each other at stoplights and give it a quick go from there, these are organized events with blocked off streets and races for money, etc. they are knowingly organizing a very large illegal (and very dangerous) event and deserve to face the consequences. if it truly is their pride and joy, maybe they should respect themselves, their cars and the car hobby a little bit more. john q public doesnt give two *****s what you drive, and it only takes a small group of idiots to taint the hobby for the rest of us. someone sees a bunch of imports street racing or driving dangerously, and the next day sees one of us accelerating a little harder than the rest of traffic in our stang...do you not think theres a strong association there??

watch that...even those involved in the event are subject to the carnage. how would you like cruising thru town in your stang, and just by chance happen to be passing through the area that these kids use as their shut-down area, and you get whaled by one of them.
the cops wouldnt be doing this unless it was a MAJOR problem in the area. sometimes you have to do real dickheaded things for the common good. how does that quote from pirates of the caribbean go?
"Perhaps on the rare occasion that the right course demands an act of piracy; piracy itself can be the right course."
it kinda applies here. also could be summed up as desperate times call for desperate measures...by the way, they also talked alot about cars with stolen parts on them. doesnt matter who you are, if you have a stolen car or stolen components, your car is getting impounded, period. just so happens that the import racers are the ones most likely to have these stolen parts. would you get arrested for receiving stolen property? yup, and they take the goods from you too. same difference here.
