Interesting. I only ever see these guys cruising around town or loitering at the gas station.

There is one Crown Royal themed Crown Vic nearby that had his rims repo'd or something... just sitting there on the 4x4 suspension with the factory steels & hubcaps

The drivers are usually wearing NASCAR-like sponsored jackets, too... maybe there's some new class of racing out there that's being kept a secret from white people

Yeah, the jackets are usually a few sizes over as well. Probably to hide something. I wonder if they sponsor their guns and dime bags too?

How did they get the money for those cars and all the modifications from pumping my gas for me?

Because they only filled your car half way with gas and pocketed the rest

Aha! So you admit that you want assault weapons so you can go out and kill people! I knew it all along! You fell into my cleverly laid trap...

BTW then I guess that everyone on this board with a sport bike is "wasting their money/stupid" unless they race it professionally. Basically,you're saying that everyone who rides a sport bike on the street obeying the traffic laws is an idiot.

Well if you look at things from that point of view then how many literbike owners can actually ride that thing to even half of its full potential around a racetrack? Less than 5 percent of all 1000cc sportbike owners?
