Could you please shed a little light on this.

What causes owners the loss of the right to modify cars are street racers and such, not videos and what not on websites. I'm rather doubtful any lawmakers are reading this website.

I understand that street racing is bad, I completely agree, you don't have to convince me other wise, I already agree to this. However, I do not think that by posting on this site who killed what car and all that crap will enhance and deter anything that happens on the streets. Street racers will someday figure out how bad this really is, and it may or may not end up with hurting or killing someone, but in any case I do not believe posting it here will stop or promote street racing. Sure not being able to brag about it is a downer, but it won't stop anything. Honestly I jsut don't look at those threads, I know how you feel, you don't want to be put in danger or have your kids (if you have any) put in danger by these people, but they will always be out there and there is little we can do about it. I seem to be missing the concept of why posting or not posting this stuff will have any effect of what people do on the streets. Just my respectful .02.
