pimpslapped another mustang

[moolie]

My experience:



I was out on the porch one day minding my own business. The neighbor across the street came out of his house and proceeded to cross the street. He made it across by darting between cars. He did not see his little 2 year old come out the door behind him. The 2 year old didn't make it across. (I yelled to him about the 2 year old. Our road is a 3 lane , one reversable. He couldn't hear me over the traffic) The 2 year old just walked across and the car saw him come into the lane, and locked 'em up. I watched in absolute horror as the little boy was knocked 20-25 yards down the road. The car was going just 40 mph. It was just awful to see it happen and not be able to help.



I speed on interstates, but not in anyones residential area. I'll throw something at the ones who do in my neighborhood.



E7 out

i'm very terribly that this happened and u had to witness that it's an awful thing but college drive is not a resedential area it's called that when u get by old town the limit drops to 20 mph now it's not a housing area it's an area filled with bars and stores which are closed by this time. It's a terrible thing that people experience some of the tragedies which u site an excellent example of, and i'm in no way saying or sticking up for the driver in this instance but honestly don't u think that a 2 year old kid who hasn't probably been walking much more then a year should be anywhere even near a busy or even a not so busy road without having a parent hold their hand. Not even that i carry a 2 year old across the street. If your neighborhood is a 20 zone and the person is doing 40 yes they are speeding no doubt but should rational adults sort of figure out basic probabilities and then plan in accordance on the best way to avoid the above mentioned scenario. I know it's harsh but i wonder if your neighbor doesn't hate himself a bit also i'm sure he hates the driver that's given watching such a horrible thing happen, but do you think deep down he's mad at himself for not making sure the child was inside or that the mother was there or that he picked him up to carry him across. I know i would be asking myself these questions. You can't always depend on everyone in society to do what's right or even act normal sometimes. People are crazy i mean really crazy, so a parent has a responsability to protect a child and keep them safe and no doubt kids are a menace and get into everything and do everything they shouldn't and that's why we are there as parents to overlook them and make sure they don't end up in a scenario such as the horrible case u mentioned. That's awful and i would hate to be a witness or even be around anything so horrible as that scene.

Sure, 100 is pushing it, but it's not like he's running 100 through a school zone

So because this is NOT a school zone it makes it OK then?. I think both of you are missing the point completely here.



moolie. .

Personally I could care less what you do with your truck and your license. Your the one who typed and hit the enter key to post the thread here. With that in mind you should be able to handle both the criticism and the opinions which will follow on something like this. I do realize of course none of us are perfect and at one time or another have "street raced" in something we own. Another thing too is our vehicles of choice for street racing were about half the weight of your truck. However,times are way different now and a thinking person would realize that IF you felt the urge to "pimpslap" someone a trip to the local dragstrip would be much more effective and safer. Please do us all a favor here though,don't try and make what you did ok by using comparisons that make no sense at all.



If you do not take anything from what I have offered at least think of this,as I'd be willing to bet somewhere on your ride is a badge or graphic showing your affiliation to the TDR or a club you belong to. That graphic,badge or emblem when on your ride is in public view and to be seen by all,including law enforcement. Remember that as most people will associate your driving with all of the rest of us or your other clubs shown because of that graphic,badge or emblem. To make it easy for you to understand,which will have more of a negative effect... A multiple vehicle incident in which neither of the vehicles had any markings on OR the same incident with one of the vehicles showing off club colors or a business name?. If you say the second one you would be correct as all people do is associate the colors or name with what happened no matter who's fault it is.



Again,my point was to make you think of your actions and not make other excuses to justify them as I feel you are trying here in what you type. Sometime later in life you will think about what those us here have wrote and its meaning will save you one way or another. I'll leave this thread now as I feel I have nothing else to offer. Think Smart,Racing is for the racetrack,not for the streets or highways... ... ... ... Andy

moolie,



yeah, the neighbor is mad at himself... . He didn't make sure the screen door latched behind him. He didn't make sure the wife had an eye on the kid. He was thinking "I'll just run across the street and grab this outta my car and be right back". All it takes it that 1/2 second to change life.



The street in question was a residential street, that had increased traffic to the tune of 45,000 cars a day. That is why it was a 3 lane with a reversable center lane. The driver might have been going a little over, but it was probably irrelevant.



The city of Cincinnati had just completed a project that was planned for 50 years (no joke) and put in a 5 lane highway behind the houses and now it is a quiet residential street again.

All I was trying to say, was give the guy a break, it's not 25% bad as what you guys are making it sound like.



I know this road, it's nothing like what you guys are trying to make it out to be. No curves, no kids, no dogs, no houses near College. Worst case scenario, moolie loses it and takes out a used car lot, and himself.



Sorry for jumping into this one, I was just trying to put things into perspective with a local view of the situation. I don't even know moolie, but I do know the road he's talking about, and your concerns are a little off base for the area.



I'm done

see here u have it from a person who knows the area and has driven the road. It's not a neighborhood, it's 3 lanes and an area that's known for people racing on friday and saturday night. No place for a child or a dog. The only time my dog is in the street is when i cross it with him.

I like how everyone gets all upset when in reality people don't even know what they are talking about. I hit an antelope last month did 2700 in damage. I wasn't speeding and I couldn't stop i locked them up and hit it at about 40 mph instant road kill. It was dusk and I noticed the group crossing ahead and then after they were running away from the road and there was a straggler running behind which i didn't see coming until too late.



I've never hit a kid or anything like that not even close and my child has never been hit or close. I haven't either, and u wanna know why that is, it's because I don't get in the damn road and mess around. I don't let my kid in the damn road to mess around either. I can't take for granted that every driver will follow the rules of the road or even be a legal resident of the us for that matter seeing how last week my friend was in a fatal accident cause by an illegal alien. So then what it takes is for me to have the knowledge to forsee the world for what it is. Then make the best choices with it. I have found that staying out of the road, keeping the dog out of the road, and my kids out of the road severly lessens the chances of any of them being hit by a car. I don't let them on runways either so they won't be hit by a plane either. Don't let them play on the train tracks either so they won't be hit by a train either. We live in a world filled with so many stupid people they actually get hit by trains. I mean the tracks are right there, when it approaches they blow horns and u have lights and sirens going off and people still get hit. So the train operator might be going too fast is it his fault. Same principal applies to cars we as pedestrians have to be smarter then the average person and figure out that if we get hit by a car it's not gonna be good for us in particular.





Also no i don't have the tdr sticker on my truck so therefore there isn't any offiliation to this site by any means.



But i do have this sticker right here

Moolie,

Keep pimpslappin' the Mustangs.

 

[moolie]

got a firebird tonight i've raced him before out going east on harmony he said he could hear the turbo's lol. I don't know what year it was but it seemed like it couldn't be over 2 years old at most. So far he's 0 for 2

 

[GSherrill]

Well since the last Camaro/Firebird rolled off the assembly line in '02 it was older than 2 years old. But I'll race you with my Camaro, no NOS, just a little 'ol smallblock V-8 witha carb... . and 38 years old to boot... . no street race though, only legal venues.

lol hey i'm down for a race even if it's against superior skill it's all in good fun maybe i'll need some more juice by then hopefully i'll have the 3rd gen pump from ats by then i see you are in korea is that accurate. Do you ever eat that funky cabbage it's called what again? I don't know how to spell it it's kim chi or something like that what's with that don't they like bury it underground and it's kinda rotten is that not accurate to some degree. The loser has to eat a big batch of that stuff. NO way not in a million years this isn't fear factor. Besides what if i end up liking it.

 

[GSherrill]

Yes, Korea for 3 more weeks, and yes its Kimchi, I hate the stuff. As far as Kimchi, its basically fermented just like saurkraut. A rce really wouldnt be fair. My car runs 10. 02 - 10. 04 at 136mph consistently, just having a bit of fun. The car is streetable, isnt tubbed, and I get ricers coming up next to me at lights that want a go. If I have my drag radials on, I lift the front end about 3 inches, the ricers just back off and make the next turn. Might go on the spray next and get into the 9's, I just like all motor, when on the spray you are renting the horsepower.
