I'm afraid that someday someone is going to be really seriously injured or kill themselves, or worse, someone else. I bet if a police vehicle parked near there after dark they would make the "qouta" in one night.

I hate to sound like a whiner but it's getting bad.

Peace.
These are better then tickets..

Have you called the police to inform them about it?

What you meant to say is, a lot of communities have anti-street racing members...but it's almost hypocritical to say that noone who drives a sports car never gets on the gas once in a while to show off.
I drive a sports car, and the only time i really get on the gass is when im passing someone, the only time ive redlined through the gears up to 3rd is at the drag strip...


and by mature car communities, i mean communities that do the work themselves, know whats going on, and dont pride themselves on a body kid that isnt painted...



Most of them do appreciate a nice bimmer though :)
I want an M5 of a Z8 (in like 20 years :( )

I lived in a neighborhood that had a problem with speeders. Got on of those $1 playballs from WallyMart and would sit on the front porch with it. When I saw somebody come haulin azz down the street, I'd roll the ball down my driveway. Had bushes blocking the view of my driveway from oncoming traffic. Got pretty good at timing my throw so the ball would come rolling out from behind the hedge in front of the speeder. Lots of fun to see the panic as they tried to stop before a kid followed the ball out on the street.

I just don't to be confused with someone who condones speeding in residential neighborhoods...that is just rediculous and irresponsible, for the exact reasons you were portraying with your game (which is quite funny, I'd like to add).
