It has ever been thus:

“I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "You're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
Let's come off the line now, at Sunset and Vine
But I'll throw you one better if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way
To Dead Man's Curve"

It’s more dangerous now, of course, due to much higher population density. But to stop it you need—gasp—more policing. Crazy young men are always going to be tempted to street race. Re racism, The Fast and the Furious accurately portrayed the Benetton-ad-like crossover appeal that street racing has for all demographics of crazy young men. Lol

I go the speed limit (most of the time) and other drivers ride my tail. I can never go fast enough, it seems.

NY was like this. It was better in PA. By the time I reached MD, I noticed a LOT of street racing on the highway. Dangerous and scary moves.

It is culturally insensitive to disparage their lives experience as mad max bikers. You center your privilege by not recognizing the intersectional contributions of their stunts and near collisions with the greater community.

I love you!

(and thanks to this post, I just won big in lingo bingo tonight )

Again, can anyone explain why Dcum is all pro-modified cars? Every time someone posts about this everyone defends the drivers? It genuinely doesn’t bother you? Doesn’t stress you out? Do they not drive by your house at all hours of the day so you don’t care?

Anonymous wrote:+1, it’s really bad in Rt 1 Corridor in College Park/Hyattsville/Adelphi area. They race nonstop on Adelphi Rd, Rt 1, and East West highway. And when they’re not racing, they just drive around making a ton of noise. I think a lot of the muffler modification shops are in the industrial Hyattsville area, maybe in NoVa those shops are over by you as well?

You don’t need a muffler shop to make these mods. Just order the parts, swap them out in your garage or in the street and you’re ready to roll. This car stuff was my kid’s hobby from age 16-19 so I have a little knowledge about it

There IS an element of racism to it though. To not acknowledge that is dishonest.

This is mostly white suburban women complaining about mostly young MOC. If you think race isn’t a factor here you’re lying.

Then why is it racist to charge these MOC with reckless driving? Does there need to be a quota of white men drag racing first?

What about a quota of white women being charged with reckless driving in their white Range Rover or Audi Q7 at 15 over the limit?

Just because you’re not racing anyone else doesn’t mean you’re not driving recklessly.

100% THIS.

Wut?

OP, you do not understand the culture. If you did, you wouldn't be complaining.

Wait! I think you’re confused. You mean holding the police accountable.

I think that we can all agree that the real menace here is cyclists.
