Excessive speeding/street racing. One specific instance: A couple months before I turned 21 I was playing DD for some of my cousins in Michigan. On the way home from the bar (about 3AM) we were traveling on a deserted 2 lane Michigan highway in my cousin's modified S4. I was driving, completely sober, and my cousins…

because enron shared their books with S&P...derrr
