This morning myself and 4 other guys decided to go to McDonald's at about 7:30 am and race the 10 miles back to school in our cars/trucks. The roads were wet, with a little rain coming down. It was about 50f degrees out. The vehicles were:

Me in my '93 Dodge Dakota 4x4, 3.9L V-6. Straight pipes back, louder than the other trucks combined. Stick shift ;)

My buddy Dave in his '95 Chevy Blazer, 4.3L, V-6.

My friend Jay in his '92 Chevy Caviler, 4cyclinder engine.

Nick in a '94 Chevy 2500HD, 4.3L V-6.

Josh in a '92 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V-6, auto tranny :p

These guys are smarter than they look, they left me in the parking lot because I was refilling my drink. I missed the entire race home, but just caught up to them when they entered a gas station by our school. I guess what happened was Dave won, Nick 2nd, Josh 3rd with his truck burning oil :no: and Jay got lost or something. With us all parked in the parking lot we talked and I flipped them all the bird too :p

Then my girlyfriend pulled in with two other chicks, and I hit my head on the window when talking to her, because the guys thought it would be fun to lift her little Honda off the ground with my head in the window. :pinch:

I led leaving the gas station doing a little burn-out, followed by three more burn-outs behind me. I pulled off about a 1/8th of a mile down the road because I didn't know where they wanted to go. So now I'm sitting 4th behind all of them. We come up to a right hand turn, but right before the right hand turn was a dirt parking lot. It was basicly a quick short cut. Dave turned on it got a little sideways to get the led. I turned on it got extremely sideways but never lost it and pulled out in third. We then all went drifting threw the next two turns, but trouble came around the corner.

A cop coming down the road. He didn't see the first three guys spin around the turn, but he saw Josh in his pokey driving. Josh got pulled over, got a ticket for no seat belt, and a warning for wreckless driving. While the rest of us just cruised :whistle: to school.

I don't know why he didn't have his seatbelt on. That's the first thing I do. Mainly from watching people in Nascar get hurt, sure they go faster, but they have helmets, at least a 5-point seatbelt system a rollcage and everything. Makes me almost want to wear a helmet when I drive just incase.

Well just felt like sharing that story, cause I'm bored lol.

The way you are describing things sounds a hell of a lot like you really didn't consider the roads/drivers first. So irresponsible still stands in my opinion.

I ain't got beef or anything, because I know I did it a few times. But now I look back and realise how idiotic it was.

However... we do have a small ruleset that's specific to this section of the site.

The following will not be allowed in The Neobahn

    * Street racing material... If a thread has a discussion on the actual act of racing or includes videos/photos of illegal races, then it will be closed. This includes if Billy Bob wants to post how he raced on Main Street two days ago. If it simply discusses the sport or how to modify a car, or if car A will beat car B, then it will be allowed. We will allow mature discussion on the topic, but nothing more.

    * Please don't flame and troll a persons vehicle or car preference... you can discuss what you don't like about a car or what should be changed... but don't go out right trolling saying "Your modded Honda Civic is teh sux0r!!1111". Or, "Your car is the ugliest piece of crap I've ever seen".

    * Obviously... The Neobahn follows the Community Rules. Please follow them. Failure to comply with the Community Rules will result in warns and/or restrictions.

Thread closed coming soon to a thread near you. BTW, you can thank me for those great rules! Street racing or any facet of foul play on public roads with cars around or not is simply immature and wreckless.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
