I wouldnt be on this forum if that kind of attitude were prevalent. > > i have a crew, it doesnt have a name, they’re just my friends. we hang out, drink, eat, talk about cars and generally have a good time. no front’n, hate’n or throw’n down on da streetz like a straight up G. just normal stuff that regular people do. we just all happen to be nissan fans. show up to a meet and you will understand. > > last time i did the happening part without the thinking part, i fell off a waterfall and broke my tooth. > > I highly recommend thinking > > 😛 lol, i wasn’t being specific to you, but yea, i agree about the civic and other kids who think the street is need for speed, but like you read, we race on private property, as in underground two ways, owned by some people who i won’t mention, and its more legal and better organised then at the track, we have safety equipment aswell, and 911 on speed dial, but like i said, only mature, race experianced people with well built cars that can handle abuse are allowed, and right now its also if you are related and close friend. most of the time we don’t do it for money, more for fun, we made our money, and when people joined they donated, lets say very generously, if there is one thing we do it much much more organized then at the track, other than me telling you about this, and you seeing these cars roaming around maple area you will never hear about it. And yes we also chill like you guys,so i understand. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/car-teams/135235)._
