Look at a lot of the new questions being asked. There are a ton of new users with "Member Since March 2007" etc...

Jeez, that clip was on Cops 4 years ago, and on the forum many times since. Post it again in a few weeks. There will be new members then too.

Geez, everyone give Oregon a break! Not everyone spends all their time like some on this site. It may be possible that someone hasn’t seen that before.

Sure the video show reckless driving and it's a C4 and not a C3, but I think it should serve it's purpose and educate others on what could happen if you get stupid in a high performance car.

Don't get me wrong Dep, I don't support that stuff on this site. I was just saying that we could have been a little more understanding to Oregon and not shoot him down so harshly with some of the comments that some had made.

Oh, btw Big G, I don't watch TV. And if I did, I sure as h#ll wouldn't watch COPS. Don't some of you have jobs? Geebuz, give me your home phone number so I can call you and ask permission before I post a CORVETTE STORY on the General forum. Now I remember why I stopped coming to this site.

#3 As Big_G said...it's so old it's got whiskers on it

Excuuuuuuuuse me! All I said was that it was posted before, and that it was old. Kind of like only 35% of the U.S. population know who the Vice President is. Some people do live a sheltered life.

i beg your pardon...but i dont get what's the object of the diatribe nor why there should be frictions among members for NOTHING

oregon posted a video which is very educative...it says: who street race, drunk and drive and/or escape cops does not make a happy end...

the vid has been already posted before? what's the problem? we can see it twice, or decide not to see it again, our choice is at the tip of a finger (to click or not to click), anyway BiG didnt underline the iussue in an unpolite way..

dep: you're a fantastic teaser and a professional provo

oregon, if i was you i'd be proud to be the object of his provocative posts

c'mon now

Anyone know what happened on "Days of our lives" today?


Wait... it doesn't matter, this forum is becoming more of a soap opera than daytime TV.

It's not about the cars now, it's about the people. We have been politcally corrected.
