Full story on THAT website, not THIS website.



Edit: I know better, but choose not to do it.

Go to www.chicagosvt.com and scroll down to the kill section, click on Lotus.

Is that better Big Brother?

Why would you even post that here?

[SC Cheesehead]

Gotta agree on that.

^^^^^ Hence my post. ^^^^^^

Not sure what's trying to be proved here...

I too, understand the rules, I know why they are in place. But do we really think by not posting or talking about it will prevent people from doing it?

I have a better question, how about the video's of people doing burnout's on other people's property, i.e. hotel parking lots, other business's lots etc.? Why would that type of activity be condoned, yet talking about street racing is not?

Once again, I know the rules and why we don't talk about illegal street racing, but yet we condone reckless operation on both private and public property. This is not brought up to fuel any fires or seem as I am taking sides, just a legitimate question.

I'm with you on that one, whats the difference ? I wanna know. I'm not condoning but like he said. It's not going to stop every or anyone from doing it.

Don't know of any members killed doing burnouts.

However, you bring up a valid point. Might be worth PMing the admins to have them weigh in on it.

Dom's just flat out pushing the envelope here. Not sure why, but I've got a pretty good idea of the outcome...

Maybe no members, but it has happened in the past. Break an axle and launch into the crowd. Anything can happen, plus is defaces the property owners lot/driveway/access road etc.

It is also a chargeable offense in most states, in Ohio, reckless operation, un-necessary show of power(it's on the books), plus any additional list of violations the officer wants to throw at the offender, I'm just asking what the difference is?

O boy here we go again walking on egg shells .

Hey he didn't post it on this website. Simply pointed out where you can find it!
You guys chose to "CLICK THAT LINK" and read what he posted on "ANOTHER SITE"
Who held a gun to your head and made you read it??????

[gdsqdcr]

Will he be banned or will he take a voluntary leave of absence?

As for what we allow ... Where do you draw the line? Streetracing, burnouts on public property (destruction of property/exhibition of speed), removing rear cats (modifying emissions on vehicles) ...

We must draw it somewhere. I think it was drawn at street racing because someone, from our site) died as a result. No one has died because of burnouts, removal of federal emissions etc. Is that the righ place to draw the line ... Who knows ... I would not have drawn it there, because drawing the line there will not prevent it--just like it won't stop us violating federal law by removing emissions devices.

Street racing still exists, search your local scene you will find it. Read some of lounge threads, you might even find people talking about going out to street racing scene 'to watch'. In California, it is illegal to watch and they can still impound your car.

We all just need to realistically deal with our individual understanding acceptance and tolerance for risk, without site regulation. We are all big boys and girls here yes? Personal responsibility should be the order of the day. At least, keep stuff to yourself if you feel the behavior could come back on you down the road...... How does one learn what to post and what not too? Not by regulating posts, but by the feedback one receives after posting. Sure, some like Dom, love the attention/noteriety that comes with some of his postings, but if you react to it, then you are giving him license for more. If you don't, then he is less motivated to post more.

I don't much care for some of the self rightious "I know whats best for everyone" attitudes that exist here, it takes away from the site, but these attitudes are balanced out by other members who accept without being judgemental. I know why the street racing rule is in place, and out of respect, accept how mm.net deals with the subject. Completely understand.

But......... To much regulation is a bad thing for government and mm.net.
