Neighborhood gets speedbumps "because of me"

Should I feel offended about this? Apparently my friend said they put speed bumps because of a red Honda Civic... now not trying to look cool here...

What other accomplishments similar to this have you had with your Civic Si?

Yes I know I am an ass for doing that long burn out... but this is racism! Out of all cars that do burnouts in that place, they pick on the Honda.

You obviously drive to fast in the neighborhood, so frankly you are a dumb-ass. Kids like to play in neighborhoods...
You must have been driving fast AND stupid to be the reason behind the bumps. You gotta just cruise in the neighborhood, for the kids.

I have no sympathy for you.

I completely agree with him, but I honestly think it's not that big of a deal.

A speed bump?!?!

It's probably a good thing they're putting speed bumps in just on the safe side.

"I'd rather have it and not need it, then not have it and need it."

Children's lives are at stake here people! and you're complaining about a speed bump?

why do they call it 'traffic calming' when it actually pisses me off?

I was like that to, just tearing through the neighborhoods but I mean it got kind of boring and most of all dangerous. Little kids run around and people are always out so if someone runs in the street your f*****. I would agree with most and say this not an accomplishment but an epic failure.

They need to put some speed bumps in my neighborhood. I live next to a college and there are so many accidents, cuz the ppl there speed going like 50+ in a residential. most of the accidents happen on my corner since there is a stop sign there. and most of these idots either do a rolling stop or just speed through. it's messed up the the cars that end up parking on the corners usually end up getting hit.
