Because I fucking want to. Also, I do track days. Also, this is America. 

As a person I occasionally choose to exercise free will, which might, when safe to do so, include going above 85mph. I also chose to have a few beers on a friday night, play contact sports, go hiking, or do anything really.

Gizmodo media must be hurting more than I thought, hiring somebody like you to write about cars.

You can’t tell me what I need. I like going over 85.

So you got to do it when you were younger, but now you want to stop everyone else? I get where you’re coming from, but it smacks of hypocrisy.

I like to at least keep up with traffic. If you don’t like it, perhaps change how it’s enforced first?

There are groups that organize and glorify “spirited driving” and stick their nose up to other facets of automotive culture all the while encouraging each other to “drive hard” or beyond the speed limits.

Whats the difference? Sideshow guys, street racing guys, they’re all looked down upon. but a group of guys in…

While I’m definitely against street racing, I’d probably rather go fast than do any of those other things. I enjoy cars mostly because of the thrill their speed bring. Yeah, of course an MGB restoration and cruising on windy country roads is fun, but I’d rather go fast on that windy country road. 

It’s just a shame that more of the spectators didn’t die, just saying...

I attended the wealthiest high school in my state, and watched a rich girl plow her Escalade into a fucking school bus (thankfully not the one I was riding in) that she somehow missed. No one hurt, but she was driving a new one the following Monday.

I was young and stupid decades ago. And we built and raced the old muscle cars. Way outside of towns and cities, and without crowds.

We used to race in large warehouse parking lots which honestly is kind of the safest place you can illegally race a car.

Oh for fucks sake. Full disclosure, I was young, stupid and built a car with way too much power as a teenager. And it was during the early 2000s fast and furious craze. I had a Cutlass, besides the point. But everyone knew that YOU DONT RACE IN TOWN YOU IDIOTS! The streets are narrow, the cops are close, and people…

I want to commend you on describing the occupants of the second vehicle as innocent bystanders (even though they were not standing by) and not describing the people in the crowd as innocent bystanders. I don’t wish harm on anyone, but they weren’t innocent bystanders, they were idiots there to participate and take in…

Oh, hah. No. Plenty of boring people to go around. Plenty of bus tours will exist when this is said and done. Plenty of people will still drive across the middle of the country for actual fun, and not even stop at national parks along the way. There are lots of ways for people to be boring, and lots of boring people…

But these people are still going to want to vacation. But now they are going to vacation where I vacation. Boooo. Put them back on their boats. 

Sounds like something a buku blubber butt with enough cash might say, you with your hoity-toity foreign language skills.

They have a phrase about the people on cruises:

Most people I know that are “cruisers” (their term, not mine) all share one common trait: they are incredibly boring fucking people. These are the same folks that have opinions on which Chili’s is better in their suburb.

So maybe if this industry dies, these people will be slightly less boring. Aside from the awful…
