who are you to tell me what impact the event had on my personal thoughts,and actions as a human being? are you me? where you there? did you get your car taken away for 7 months,and go through court with your ass on the line for 7 months? no you didnt.This is the exact reason I stopped posting on drag for a long time.People that automatically think their word/opinion is god sent,and that what they think/feel is what you should think/feel.


The event made me realize what was important to me (future financial stability,being independent at a young age),and also made me realize that if im going to involve my self in a hobby,I need to do it the right way.Yea,my hand got caught in the cookie jar..but does that mean I regret doing it? NO I dont..because I dont live with fucking regrets.I WOULD do that shit all over again,because I KNOW(keyword,I,meaning me,not you)that if that shit didnt happen to me,I would still be testing my fucking luck,on the streets with all the other dumbasses,every friday/saturday night.I would STILL be a civilian working at a dead end job,trying to figure out ways to make my car faster,instead of saving money for the future,and building the career I am now.Thats something ONLY I can speak on..not some kid on a website,that street races,hasnt gotten caught yet,and thinks that other people that do are stupid.THATS cliche.

 

THERES the old crispy i know!

 

So if a baby touches a burner, burns the shit out of himself, loses his hand, and never touches the burner again does that make said baby a better person? No. Just makes his little ass sure he won't touch that burner again. I never said my opinion was God sent. It's specifically just that, an opinion. Post how you felt it changed you all you want. And I shall post that I feel it didn't change shit about you. Hell what dumb shit DOESN'T know it's wrong to street race and doesn't know the consequences? I'm quite sure you knew what you were getting yourself into, yet you chose to do it anyway. It's like sticking your dick in an HIV infected woman. Sure it may feel good, but boy are you in for a shitload of trouble later. You knew what you were doing. Did it make you a better person? Maybe, however I think it just made you less stupid. And finally, just because someone disagrees with you or calls you out doesn't classify them as a "kid" on the internet. Because a "kid" I am far from.

 

^ I have to agree on Boostlag with this one... it's the experiences we have that shape us as people. I can see something like this having a profound effect on someone.

 

there you have it.

its called CAUSE AND EFFECT.


Something is caused to happen,and therefore it effects something else.


thats how the WORLD works,not just dragva,not just street racing.This happens to PEOPLE in the REAL world.

 

ZOMG FUCK YOU AND YOUR OPINION!! JOO THINK IT'S GOD SENT!!!





I just like to argue for the sake of arguing sometimes. In all actuality though, I do agree that experiences in life make a huge affect on someone. However I DO NOT agree that getting caught street racing isn't going to change you that much. It just makes you less stupid. That's just my opinion. Had this been an open discussion over lunch, I'd have said the same thing. VaDriven carries no weight as to what I type on serious subjects.

 

Life is a series of experiences... so by default they affect our lives. If you are at a pivital (sp?) point in your life an event such as this can have lasting effects.

Sounds like Boostlag was... and this event pushed him down a better path.

 

haha,and heres where your opinion DOESNT apply to me.



when that baby was burned,he decided to never touch it again right? lesson learned right? WRONG,this "baby" didnt "fallback" or "retreat" from drag racing.He developed a way to enjoy the hobby without giving too much of his time,money,and Freedom to the hobby.So unless your "baby" developed a way for other "babies" to not get burned by the same fire..your bullshit opinion has nothing to do with me homeboy.This baby used his "burning" experience as empowerment to become something BETTER than a "burn victim"...so you can take your bullshit somewhere to someone who is dumber than you,because im not that guy.

 

Eh, yeah maybe. I just can't see something as street racing, which is known to be wrong, as a life changing experience when you get caught. I mean getting caught racing is not going to want me to attend church every sunday, eat right and exercise, and make a career move. It was just make me not race anymore.

Then again, seeing as all the shit he went through I could possibly agree with both of you.

 

well I cant convince anyone to believe me.But I know for a damn fact..that if I had never gotten caught that night,my mindset of street racing every weekend,spending ALL my money on cars,and spending ALL my free time with racers(which is very homosexual),would have never changed.All I wanted to do was build a fast street car,and I wasnt going to stop until somebody stopped me.It happened,and It was like a "Wake up call" (I know,thats cliche)..that made me understand theres more important shit in the world,than some metal on 4 wheels.And that I was missing out on a lot of important shit at the age of 20,because I was obsessed with being "Fast" and recognized around Va beach,for having a fast car.
