The Los Angeles Times just published a feature on the history of SoCal street racing. It’s not a wistful look back at leather jackets and hot rods. It’s about young kids being killed, lives being wasted and families being destroyed for nothing.

Ban assault cars.
nah, just stop being a jackass and take it to the track.
racing on the highway is the absolute lowest tier of "racing" as it doesn't take any skill at all.

things haven't changed at all

The guy going over the double yellow is worse then the MR2
The majority of these deaths are probably caused by fucking idiots who don't know what the left lane is for.
Still Sad, F. Learn to drive you fucking retards.
t. Californian in SoCal
I can just feel this piece was to get concerned mothers more concerned.
Meanwhile distracted driving is a real fucking problem and nobody seems to give a fuck.
Reminder that there's a war on cars being waged

>take it to the track
kek suck a dick bootlicker
t. bluelivesmatter cuck.
>179 people
It's fucking nothing. You can always tell the implicit call for regulation when they start citing numbers, yet more americans die of heart disease and diabetes but you don't see them calling McDonalds out (because they buy the ads)
How many kids die texting and driving? Yeah exactly
>bootlicker
>bluelives matter
He can't really be both.
t. wassamatter
>dying
Who gives a fuck. If you're dead, you're dead. You'll fucking move on. You acknowledge you'll have a chance of dying every time you get behind the wheel.
What's that? Don't tell me you don't remember the 1 in 645 chance of dying in a car accident every time you get behind the wheel.
>when plebbit is actually on point
haha hey you go on /r/cars as well?
whats your username?
>Authorities say many of the races that lead to fatalities are, like the crash that killed Valentina, spontaneous.
Pulling up next to someone else at a stop light and trying to accelerate away faster than someone else is literally not a street race in any way, it's just retarded
Anyone remember that big street race bust in California that went down a few years back? user posted a stream of the police helicopter. Shit was awesome.
Proof that snap oversteer isn’t a meme
Only 179 dead. Im actually fine with this
>not dying in a street racing crash
Its like you autists are a bunch of soy boys
Actually this
How I plan on going out personally.
>just take it to the track
no
County deputies are being trained to recognize vehicles that have been modified for racing, but, Det. Christine Ostrander said, “our deputies are just overworked, understaffed.”
So apparently im gonna get arrested for having a spoiler, roll cage, exhaust, and an LS1 swapped in.
Thanks LA
Ahahahahah does LA Times have nothing better to talk about no one in California gives a fuck about street racing as posted it's fucking nothing if they crash and burn let them
highway and city street racing is for assholes, flying off a cliff in the twisties is fine and better than pretty much any other form of racing
i'm a commie and i hate this police state shit, fuck
kek, how do you ameritards manage to crash going in a straight line?
>hurr let's """""race""""" BRAH
>first one to your gay dad's truck stop at the next light wins!
>ayy lmao I accidentally into dying
>all this while driving a piece of shit autotragic
>mfw
freedom fighters need to just give up
holy fuck I need new hobbies everything I like is over regulated to shit
Read the comments on the article. Some (((goy))) is calling for the ban of vehicle modifications
and see
>california
>united states
couldn't care less pham
>doing echoes around an overtly racist term
i feel like you /pol/ fellas have sorta missed the point of your masked racism
also california already does just about as much as they can to try and ban modifications and it's retarded but hey, that's liberalism for you
shitposting aside do you not realize how easy it is to crash on a public highway where other cars.
i mean its also pretty easy to crash a car at high speeds. Im not defending any of these idiots but yeah.
there is a healthy street racing scene in my hometown
kids got killed all the time; it was barely newsworthy to hear that a souped up slammed down F150 rolled over and killed a bunch of teenagers, even if it was, like, a police chief's kid
the problem hasn't gotten better, most people just don't talk about it
>goy
>racist
i apologize, a term brought up exclusively by people who don't like jews which is, in modernity, described as racism even though jews aren't really an ethnicity are you happy can we go back to discussing street racing and how liberals suck balls
Yes, yes I do remember.
>The guy in the white van that tried to drive onto the railroad tracks to escape the police :,)
>muh modernity
>jews not an ethnicity
jews are white.

This number would be considerably higher if they included the number of accidents alone that driving in such a manner would be the cause of, let alone the amount of nonfatal injuries they've caused. It's dangerous stuff even on closed roads and something the taxpayer pays for. There were over 100 accidents in my city of 300,000 last year caused by people from all backgrounds and driving all different types of cars in different settings "street racing". Though some of these were the same person crashing 2 or even 3 times.
There are two circuit tracks, four dragstrips and three circle tracks withing an hour and a half of my house for fairly cheap and people still insist on driving like shitheads on the street. A good portion of them think legal racing is for cucks and don't go to them out of principle, though they're usually just NEETs who are too lazy to get a job and can barely afford a car as it is
>PragerU
It's just a meme now. Everyone knows what it means and people do it either as a meme or an alt right virtue signal
i'd say 179 deaths over 17 years is pretty safe lol
more people died in their swimming pools
huffpo, the post
I guess the cultural marxists are going after cars now.
>cultural marxism
is this the worst meme of all time?
This picture makes me lol everytime.
Jew are myth
not according to jews.
unless its convenient
haha wow tiger hold your jokes for a sec, save a few more to your comedy show

THEY TOOK YER CAHS
SO THEY DID
>taking prager jewnivershitty seriously
this lmao
if it was 179 deaths over the course of a few years that would be one thing, but over the course of almost 2 decades is barely even noteworthy
>get convinced that liberal regulations on vehicles are an attempt to gain control because control feels good rather than liberal regulations on vehicles consistently making more money for the auto industry at the expense of the worker and the consumer
>cultural marxism though
i hate it so much
it was a big problem where I grew up
this is all me
>thinking people care about skill when it comes to highway racing
People are seeing whos car is faster
highway racing is basically just a rolling carmeet where people can't lie about how many horses they have
they're also stupidly dangerous and i'm not a fan but that's just me
why do guys in [insert European sedan here] think they can outpace the shittiest motorcycles desu
people don't seem to understand power-to-weight and its relation to acceleration instinctively, they just go 'my car has more power than that probably i'm gonna whoop it'
lose the sticker man it's fucking gay, especially on a stock C4
in the mid night days if a non-member put on the banner to look cool their car was vandalized
My form of highway racing is 1am on a Tuesday where no one is on the street.
Idk how much "safer" it can get than that, but people doing it during the day can just run into a ditch all I care
The sticker actually is gone. Kinda too old for stickers on my car as it is.
>snap oversteer isn't a meme
no this retard was hard on the brakes into and through an uphill corner, he was fucking begging for it
snap oversteer is just oversteer you didn't know was going to happen because you're a bad driver, let's be honest
in every video it's some dumbass trailbraking and then spinning out
Hey kid, I'll race you for pinks down on Sunset and Vine
that movie kicks ass desubakafampai
what year is that machine
Is that a zr1 I saw a red one for sale for 10k almost made me get it
'94. LT1, 6 speed. Picked it up for $7500 with 75k miles. When I bought it I found a CD case under the seat full of KISS CDs. I love it t b h,
also
>in the mid night days if a non-member put on the banner to look cool their car was vandalized
Can you imagine a bunch of nip doctors and lawyers trying to vandalize some redneck's car over a sticker? My fucking sides.
>waahhh it doesn't show my glamorous misconception of street racing, it only shows reality waahhhh
...
Nah, it's a base model. I'm not made of money.. You should have 100% bought that Zr1 tho pham
when you consider how many fuckin retards die every year just from dicking around on their cellphones or simply not paying attention, 179 is startlingly low
holy fuck Americans love their football, in Toronto we're lucky to see turnouts 1/4 that size for a home game
of course all of our teams suck so...

relax user, she's just driving her open top Jeep at 90kmh while taking a selfie and holding a slippery cold drink in her other hand
#selfietime
I mean, objectively, it is, especially being stupid about it, doing in in crowded areas etc. But be smart about it and you shouldn't be bothered.
it's almost as if media is created to profit off genuine culture and behind it there is no love for the things you thought the products you consume represented
it's almost as if there's some unseen force that just does whatever it can to make more money and if that means shilling movies with fast cars and sexy celebs they'll do it and if it means bashing the automobile and individual freedom to sell electric cars they'll do it
yeah it's called capitalism bucko
the unseen force is the system that we all live in, not a group of people known particularly for being greedy assholes
that's right it's just pure greed not some subversive force serving ulterior motives like the complete downfall of western civilization through miscegenation and religious subversion let's all consume stuff and watch cuck porn now very good
Capitalism only works if there are the right amount of people for the right amount resources
>system that rewards people being shitty leads to a lot of people being shitty
>a group of people are malicious for no reason whatsoever, they're all assholes and they just want people they don't like to suffer
i mean you tell me which one makes more sense bub, i don't think there's a magical corrupting force taking a system that has had crises since the beginning of industrialization i think the system's actually just kinda trash but that's just me
>jews aren't really an ethnicity
Are you retarded?
It's just a term that refers to Marxist theory applied to sociology and art. Are you going to pretend the Frankfurt school doesn't exist? Adorno didn't apply Marxist power relation analysis to culture? Gramsci doesn't real?
gramsci was a stupid faggot and about as marxist as my asshole, adorno's cool and horribly misrepresented by the right when honestly his shtick is kinda traditionalist in nature and i could see conservatives getting behind the concept that capitalism has corrupted their traditional cultures if it wasn't for the fact that, y'know, it's coming from a commie
don't forget the 6 gorillion
also maybe let's try communism u know it would work really well it's just all those countries that have tried it didn't do real communism that's why it wasn't a utopia but if we just keep trying we will get it fuck capitalism it's inherently evil down with individualism and the system that propagates it let's all race mix and give up our rights and don't forget to thank jews for everything they do
gb2 your cesspit
it's weird how you guys simultaneously dislike american-built propaganda that makes you guys look bad but when the exact same groups do anti-commie propaganda you guys eat it all the fuck up
seriously, you can't have it both ways
>cultural marxism is real, I saw it on a documentary!
lol
This bullshit scares me more than some dumb fuck street light drag racer. I dony even know if my car has a colapsing steering column. The only safety feature i have are LAP BELTS. But hey its selfie time
Adorno isn't the originator of this, and his work is referenced by far-right positivists like Evola. Whether or not you think Gramsci was a dumb queer is irrelevant, I was just explaining what the term refers to. It's extremely simple to comprehend, and that's why right-wing information channels used it instead of having to reference individual thinkers, specific institutions, explain what critical theory is, etc. They are using it as a short-hand to refer to Marxism's history of social theory.
For the record, I'm not a sodomite alt-righter who thinks 1940 is when the world went to shit either.
Do you know any of the names I mentioned?
the problem is that they simultaneously use it as shorthand to refer to how social liberalism has completely fucked up society even though the two are almost entirely unrelated, and that's the part that frustrates me
the guy who said 'cultural marxism' i assure you was not talking about any of the frankfurt school's actual theories, he's talking about the idea that (((they))) seeded the theories into the populace that equality is good and that's why boys want to be girls now
So you're telling me if i drive 3 times a day for a year statistically I should be dead?
