I see constant posts here, in the Houston area groups, asking when the next street meet or if there’s a spot that day. I’m more convinced on going to the drag strip and track after this rather then anything on the street. I can’t say much, I’m practically the same age as this guy but I definitely don’t wanna go to any of these meets anymore. I’ve heard that there are some that are responsible which have actual rules for the meet but after a certain amount of people arriving I feel it’s not possible to regulate these things unless there’s actual police involvement as overseers.

Car looks good for that impact. Crazy but that looked survivable for both the camaro and the car it hit

If you’re talking cars itself, maybe the Camaro could be fixed but no one would make any profitable venture on that car, the black car is scrap now if I’m remembering the condition of it right

I don't get these show off events. Hundreds of people standing right next to mostly unskilled drivers that just hit the gas to the floor or trying to do donuts to be cool? Man this is from every possible point of view a bad idea.
If you want to "show off", go drag or race tracks. Be passionate and learn to really become a skilled driver and how to perfectly handle your car. If you can do fast times, that is something to be proud of. And if you just want to show how nice your car is, there are enough car meets with show & shine contests.

He may be, but I doubt he will be posting for quite a while. Hard to post from jail I'd imagine.

Either way this incident had nothing to do with Street Racing.

This wasn’t even that though. This was simply a circumstance of bad choices with deadly consequences. Every day all over the world people die or are seriously hurt from the same recipe. It has nothing to do with cars per say, but everything to do with choices, actions & circumstances. |

On a side note I think Marty's '85 SR-5 Tacoma would have beaten Flea in his '76 F-250 if Marty had the V6. If he had the 4 cylinder Flea would have won, but it'd have been close. Flea's truck had a 3 on the tree, and the SR-5 was a 5 speed. |

i doubt this kind of thing is going to get better until they make killing people in a car thru any act that is breaking an existing law 1st degree murder with a deadly weapon. prosecute, win and no chance of getting off. And instantly make any participants in a road-take-over such as this, illegal with social media sites all banning such videos and removing them.
would be interesting to see which part of that makes the most impact, but given the current generation, i'm betting it's not being able to post your videos about it so everyone can see. edit: basically, having a license and driving a car needs to be treated more serious than carrying a gun. But i also suspect, we'll see a clamping down on speed limiters before that or turning on tattle-tale systems in most cars when you break the local speed limit. kinda hard to justify being able to quickly and easily reach the speeds we currently do with the driving tests we currently have in this country. |

There are dozens of examples of things that had been deemed "illegal", but that is not a solution to any problem. |
