If it looks like a troll, smells like a troll and posts like a troll - you've got a troll.

Please stop feeding the troll or next time it'll be posting about how they like to blast Rick Astley over the car's 2000 watt sound system while driving through downtown, and the troll will have a problem with the dirty looks received while doing it.

I don't speed, but I love accelerating from 0 to 5 to 7 miles over the speed limit as quick as I can. Is it time paint my car a different color or give it a vinyl wrap?
It's time for you start doing track days to (a) learn how much you DON'T know, (b) learn how to REALLY drive a car, and (c) put that high school mentality away for good.

OP: It actually happened: Police asked me to stop peeling out at traffic lights.

Me to OP: It actually "never" happened.

Too late, there's already been a thread about his sound system.

"It actually happened: Police asked me to stop peeling out at traffic lights"

There's a thing called "Traction" and then there's another thing called "Traction loss" at high speeds, the latter leads to a courtroom and the loss of privileges for a little while or a long while, depending on the amount of death, destruction caused...

Oh and by the way, what's your hurry? Afraid of living longer?

Thank you. People like the OP cause accidents, aside from their being inconsiderate.
