It's not your only racing post.....just sayin....................... "

come on; if you haven't figured out how this guy rolls yet, it is obviously not his fault he was racing. he should sue the owner of the evo x for making him race and potentially endangering his life. we're not responsible for our own actions, are we?

First, never exceeded posted speed limit. Read my posts.


Second, there is no legal excuse for negligence. Even when people sign waivers the companies can still be held liable for gross neligence. Waivers are not a license to kill people or due harm, and I didn't even sign a waiver.

OK. Disregard my post if you didn't exceed the speed limit in keeping up with those cars you listed. If that's the case, my Prius could keep up with the cars you listed...... at the legal speed limit.

Dude..............you screwed up by not stopping when the car heated up and the engine light came on! It's as much your fault! Man up and stop whining!

I apologize to the board for being blunt but it is my non-sugar coated opinion.

I did stop, and called the mechanic that had just looked at the car 20 miles earlier. He said the gauge must be wrong, and seeing how he just looked at the coolant system the day before I believed him, why wouldn't I? He had just inspected the coolant system.

When it continued to overheat I stopped again and called and again he said gauges must not be accurate but I could drive it in later to have it checked out again. Car never made it there.


Didnt you read any of the posts? You might want to read the posts before commenting, all of this has been covered

You should've pulled over and left it to cool down, regardless of what anybody says. That's like looking down the barrel of a gun, even when a certified shooting instructor tells you to do so. You just... don't do it.
