OMG Joshua, you aren't joking! This wasn't on 31, but on my way home from work on I96 this summer. I was cruising in the left lane behind another car as we approached a slower moving truck. The car in front of me passed and moved over. Well I'm traveling probably ten mph faster than this truck so I would have moved over pretty quickly, but I wasn't fast enough for these two morons on crotch rockets. I was doing 75, but they decided to go down the center between me and this truck and took off down the highway. I saw them do it off in the distance again. I don't know how fast those things go, but they had to be doing 125 easy. And one even had a girl on the back. Just insane. The entire time home I was waiting to see them laying off the side of the road somewhere busted up.
And to the OP, it's not just that some of us don't think it's too bright to street race, but me personally, those videos don't do a thing for me. Show me a video where a car goes from 0-whatever in the quarter mile in ten seconds or whatever. That is cool. Seeing one car take off faster from 40mph doesn't impress me. Oooh, that car has a better third gear than your's, wow! I want to see the total package from a dead stop.
