I got out of work late and was going to visit Vlad but he leaves work at 10. I was going to my hotel on Route 9 and noticed two cars lining up and then just going WOT and going through the gears. Not sure what cars but both were red and one was a Honda/Acura and another might have been a domestic but both young drivers.

Seriously, I am not going to say that you shouldn’t run on the street. Hell, I run a stop sign if NO ONE is around but there were cars everywhere. I know that shit happens all the time but it’s really scary when you see it in person.

On another though, I saw a K20 with a kid wearing a hoodie while driving. I looked for a backwards visor but he took a side road. I’d bet money that he was wearing one.
