Just because you have power doesn't mean you have to use it.

Yea, Funniest thing you have ever heard right? I give more respect to the guys with high powered cars that drive slow in neighborheads than the idiots that fly down those small streets and show off.

So why are you laughing?

I give the same respect to those same guys. But it wasn't that he said you don't have to use it (because I feel the same way), but that he was driving a V6 mustang. If you had seen this stang you would understand.

(he was of course in a civic) I said yea its stuck in one gear and im taking it to get worked on. He was like what that thing not got enough power to start off in second. I was like haha retard it will only go in 4th. So let me see you take off from a dead stop in 4th. He did and of course it died mine on the other hand did not. hahaha losers

I'm the same way.

BUT
I in no means have ANY respect for those powered cars that drive 30km in a 50km, okay... **** that and the respect too... learn how to drive. I understand they have nice cars, but the grandmother on her sunday walk just passed them.

Just because you own a fast car doesn't mean you should dictact the speed of traffic.
