Driving to work today in my TL and whilst on the highway some dumb fucker in a TL and donks drives up next to me and starts staring me down.

Now the TL isn't the fastest car, but I was probably 100 pounds lighter because I didn't have donks. I speed up, he speeds up, I look him down and think that its not worth it to get pulled over or anything so I start to let him pass and get his cheap thrill.

THEN I say fuck it and blast off at around 95, he's surprised and he tries to give a complementary reaction and in turn runs head on into the big barrels where the road guards meet.

I think he's fine because it hit his passenger side, but still karma's a bitch no?

 

damn must've been embarrasing for him ... hope he is alright though

 

Youd'd think he would clear those barrels with the donks.

 

I think your just as big a fool for egging him on to race.

 

Maybe, but I was driving at my own pace minding my own business and sped away from him. Its his fault he thought he could switch lanes and go very fast when he ruined the handling on his car.

i mean it was about as high as my X5 is

 

 

haha it's really hard to take pics when you're on the highway no?

but if you wanna see my cars they're on another recent thread

 

dumbass

 

Donks- ?

 

i've never heard it myself either, but from context clues i assume they are ridiculous sized wheels

OP hopefully you don't have the PD looking for you or anything. i'm no law expert but what if the guy reported to the police he was racing, they might come looking for the other guy???

 

this thread first:
https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/mazda-rx8-donk-736860/

then the picture



a donk is basically when the wheels are too large for the car, that you actually gotta lift it up to actually make them fit

 

Was it like 2 Fast 2 Furious when the bimmer hits the barrels, and water goes everywhere?

 

You know if he had hit another vehicle or injured someone just because you guys were racing on the Interstate you guys would be subject to a criminal offense resulting in death or injury to innocent lives.

Now I'm not here to school you or anything just think twice before doing stuff like this, I learned the hard way when 2 of my friends were racing on 401 one of them in a G35 the other a 530i, The G35 lost control on the shoulder spun out hit 8 cars in a chain reaction, he was in coma along with 6 other innocent lives that were injured the accident. The guy in the 530 got off clean and booted him home, he was picked up a couple of hours later by the OPP (state police) and charged with Fleeing the scene, hit and run, and also reckless driving. They were doing about 100mph which is almost as fast as you were going. Not to mention they spent some time in jail, vehicle seizure, license suspension plus a whole bunch of other shit that ruined their lives over something so stupid.

Just take this story as an experience, You should be lucky that other dude didn't hit another car and take innocent lives because of your stupidities because YOU would have been in serious shit just as much as him.

 

Yes!! Thats shits hot!


Yeah just let them A-holes pass you up, next time they might crash into you

 

Now that's good ground clearance. Very easy to do oil change.

 

or this from a couple of years ago

i knew i had seen those rims before , much more believable

 

^ That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen done to a car....

 

if you guys have some time to waste...

feel free to gouge your eyes out

you know what else is a bitch OP.. accessory to manslaughter...

think next time.

 

he had rims similar to this in size, but were 5 spokes

shit was ridiculous

 

I appreciate the concern from everyone, but I fail to see how I am an accessory to this particular case (I'm studying for the bar so I do know a few things).

Reviewing the Transportation law, all i'm seeing is a very vague definition of street racing here. I have friends who do it, and I always tell them to be careful because it's serious shit to get caught with, it involves jail time and impounding of your vehicle in NYS.

If all I did was speed away from him, how is my action considered racing? he changed lanes and lost control of his car, thus causing his accident. By the time he crashed, I could only see it barely in my rearview mirrors. The highway was pretty empty and that was that.

I'll be careful to note what you guys said in the future, but it seems more open to officer interpretation than anything else. Me going 85 on the highway (which is pretty standard up here) driving by myself could be considered street racing, if my car bears the "signs of a modified vehicle". So I mean does my blacked out tailights signify me as a street racer? I'd sure hope not. Either way, they'd have a tough time proving anything in court about my involvement of said accident.

oh, and barriers here are full of sand. so sorry, no water explosion

 

you already admitted to "blasting off" at 95 mph as he was toying with you. as somebody who is studying to become a lawyer, i dont see how you cant find that an accessory to the situation.

whether or not somebody can prove it and whether you were part of the cause are two totally different discussions.

neither of you followed the law. if a cop witnessed the situation, im sure he wouldnt go for the "i was trying to get away from him" story.

Said driver sounds like a jackass, but i dont think he got what he deserved.. a ticket or revoking of license sounds like a better punishment to me then a high speed crash...

 

but if you are studying for the BAR, then you should also know how vague the law is, and how people take/understand it sometimes, in that you wear racing even if you were just trying to get away

then also you should know too, how bogus some cases are, cause people are greedy (mainly), or just plain old sue happy, and that some lawyers will still take the case, and actually win it, even though there is no merit to the actual case itself

 

You were racing, end of story. The only reason you accelerated to 95mph was due to the other driver.

 

who controls your actions? you were at fault as well and I believe 99% of all courts in this country today would agree if it got that far.

karma is a bitch and she'll get her revenge on you as well for being a douche bag and coming to the forums to brag about this story.

 

i like how this funny story turned into an online court session.. fly by's in Richmond are considered racing but him crashing into the barrels in my opinion is hilarious and i bet he felt stupid after it.

To the OP, i get where u were going. you wanted to tell a funny story.. i got a good laugh out of it while sitting in class, thanx!!

 

Lol no problem man. guess I'll have to watch what I say from now on haha

 

no need

we just arent your standard local street racing forum and dont get our kicks from things like this.

take it with a grain of salt. welcome to acurazine.

 

^ i beg to differ. look at the threads on this page, with titles like "Smoke an MS3" and "Raced a Chopper".

https://acurazine.com/forums/a-115/

i think the OP just posted in the wrong section. haha.

 

hahaha maybe.

yeah you guys are a little more laid back. Though I was a member of the forums maybe 5/6 years ago before I could drive (because we owned a TL lol) I can't remember the login for shit anymore, but I remember people talking about how fast their cars were all the time :-p

and yeah, that's a fun section haha

 

LMFAO, they can get out of there own way if they have too, but still not that fast (even the S)

 

donks haha
in rap terms a donk is an ass
and when "donks" are on a car... that makes perfect sense cause then it looks like complete ass

 

Nice rims on that rx-8

 

whats with all the negativity in some of the comments
doesnt matter if you were racing or just cruising, its always funny to see an a-hole hit barrels, especially when that a-hole is racing you

 

true....

 

Thanks for the support buddy. Exactly what I thought when it happened

He deserved it for the donks, seriously I thought that culture died out in the early mid 00s. I mean 18-19 even 20 is nice on some cars but anything bigger and it just looks BAD

 

depends on the car, cause some will take 20's no problem, and still look too small, like even the 3g TL can take 20's and still look good without too many issues (they have larger wheel wells, that can handle that size rim)

 

x2, here in canada, you would of been charged aswell for street racing, 10k fine 30 days suspension and they crush ur car...you did just as wrong donk

 

i was talking about the 2G TL section...
of course the people in the racing sub-forum are going to have stories of racing... still does not mean the 2G section cares...

ps. there are about 10 people that spend their time in the racing forum.. out of the thousands on acurazine...
