Simply takin' Stewie through a familiar stretch of unpopulated twisty, but public road at a good clip is one thing. Yeah it carries risk n' the responsibility that comes with takin' that risk.
But takin' that same situation n' wickin' it up a hundredfold by addin' a second car that's vyin' for the lead at each opportunity? Even in a straight line. The speed involved plus the populated areas involved plus the multitude of things that could go wrong durin' any point of the proceedin's? You godda be @*#&in' kiddin' me. So who is it that's gonna take the rap n' the nightmares for the rest of your life when you take out kids in a crowd r' a mom n' kids aroun' the next corner?
We're all given our own leashes. Draw the attention of the powers-that-be by reckless endangerment n' those leashes (n' the freedom) r' forcibly taken away from us n' are placed in the hands of some government agency.
Good things that have been enjoyed by many have been ruined by the mindless few throughout the years. You wanna blow it for all of us, you go right on "street-racin'".
bj's on the money: go to a race track.
But, be advised: street racin's manner of determinin' the "winner" is a kind'a vague, hit-n'-miss affair. Track racin don't leave room for any "fudge" factor. It'll put you in your place in a heartbeat.
Be well, n' like the old knight said . . . .
