ok so my friend video tapes all of our races and my screwingaround in my solara and does car shows well he was approached by a FOX NEWS 5 reporter on street racing so i did an interview and he did and my friend leigh did.... well they've got footage of my racing ppl and drifting (e-brake) my solara .. my friend said half the footage he sent to them was of me... so be on the look out if your in the DC Metro Area you may see a Solara representing on TV haha they said it will air towards the end of May

thats cool and all, but i dont like the sound of fox news.
esp on street racing. not quite the ideal image of a solara doing ebrake slides.

im not gonna knock you or anything im glad you dont but let me give you an example:
go do an interview w/ news people saying your a drug dealer and blah blah how it all works. you say you dont do drugs anymore or sell, do you think the cops believe that???? i think you see what im getting at.
i used to go once in a while a long time back when i first got my license. then i turned 17 and had a friend killed streetracing.
like i always tell people, wanna race go to the track. wanna do it on the street, prepare for the consequences.

they interviewed a prelude owner with a wing higher than the roof of the car
And I didn't like the comment by the shop owner saying this all started after F&F...
