Brucelee is going to put the whammy on this thread once he sees it. You can't post kill stories here.

Thanks!

In my section of the country road racing is a particapatory sport . With all the socially questionable posts on this site, such as"For serious social work one can always rely on the Colt Commander in .45 Another nice carry piece would be the AMC .380 in stainless.' I really have to wonder if all the racing police on this site have never exceeded the posted speed limit on purpose. if they have , why am I childish? If taking peoples lives is acceptable in your social circles why is road racing not. Ed

Never said anything of the sort.

Save your racing for the track. That is where it belongs. Adults know that.

this is the only site that ive seen this enforced.
i dont post about it, but i dont think its a bad idea...people will do it one way or another, talking about it will not do anything

All I am saying is that in the free USA there are different acceptable actions. In my section people road race but do not talk about using guns "For serious social work " 95% of the people in our section of the country have multiple weapons, but we do not think that statements as such are socially acceptable. It is a matter of culture and not maturity. I just do not understand how you can try and repremand me for talking about road racing but not scold someone who talks about shooting people.

An explanation is in order here. NO ONE is talking about shooting people randomly or other wise. If one has to shoot someone to preserve themselves and their family it needs no apology. No one, including myself, EVER wants to be in the position where a shooting will take place for self defense. I and others would have to live with that horror for the rest of our lives, just ask any combat vet. They live with those horrors forever. I, and I am sure others who have posted, do not want to be in a position where gun play is necessary. The "...serious social work..." comment that I made is black humor that refers to the failed social policies and work that created a predatory monster that the rest of us have to worry about. Policies that may put us in the position to defend our lives is what prompted the comment. Socially acceptable? I suppose that depends on what side of the issue you are on. Carjackings also happen at an increasingly alarming rate therefore the car thread connection.

Kills stories are great, but there is a time and a place... I just find it a little ignorant to gloat about killing a car while in my boxster in a straight line... sure I have killed some quick cars... 3rd gear at 70mph in a 986S is FAST! Legitimately fast, but thats (hopefully) not why everyone bought their boxster. If you had just wanted to make kill stories, try a GM F-body... But with that said, Im all about you telling me how you killed that 997 carrera S at the track last weekend.

You guys are kidding right?

Nothing wrong with sharing your driving experiences with others. There was NOTHING dangerous about any of the "kill" posts on this thread. As if none of you have sped in your boxsters. I would like to think that someone that owns a Boxster would have enough common sense to know what is safe and what is not in a car, and not be influenced by a thread on a Boxster site as to whether or not race a car from the lights in unsuitable conditions.

PS I don't know ANYONE that owns a gun

PPS I just saw the "New German Toy" thread. What does the purchase of a handgun have to do with a Boxster forum? The moderators need to have a good look at themselves....
