When I see a speeding motorcycle . I drive slow .
Many times these young guys see a Turbo and they view the car as a challenge . I let them win without a contest .

I hope others who have these cars consider that these guys are young and very foolish . Let them win . If the Gt3 owner in that video has just slowed down they may have chosen to avoid the extra 4 minutes of exposure to the dangers of their wreckless riding.

I sure was...to see if one of those morons wrapped themselves around a tree.
It's one thing to do that at 3:30am on a deserted highway, but in the middle of the day?? Nothing like smashing into a family of 4 and killing a few kids to round out a solidly idiotic life...
We've all done stupid stuff before I'm sure, I know I have. But I think when you reach a certain age, the bad idea detector begins to go off a bit more, not just to save our own asses, but those people around us who don't need a car slamming into them at 140.

Very "age dependent" on how we handle these situations.There was a time when I probably would have done the same thing. Now at 57....let them go. Don't really remember at what age I "got smart" but it's been a while. Maybe I should ask my wife. I'm sure she knows.
