    I'll have to agree. It was very to the point and fact based. I liked it, as opposed to the articles where they add fake drama to spice up the read...

    BTW, how are things at Land Rover?

    Wow, i'll have to agree.
    Its an indepth, unbiased, accurate, good well done, researched article on the Street Scene.
    Personally, I think street racing is for the most part, Retarded.
    Its crap for judging cars, and theres extreamly shitty road conditions etc.
    I remember on Sarcee one time, a BMW M roadster did a ricer flyby on a Dark Green or Blackish colored RX7 (ive seen this car a number of times, very, very nice, rear tires as wide as hell.) They were both going about 110, maybe, cause they passed my mom going 90.
    The RX7 dropped down and slaughtered the shit outta the M...
    Nice thing to see.

    Not a bad article, but nothing that hasn't been written about 600 times. Same old stuff.

    haha they only get into accidents because they r reckless & possess lil 2 no skill
    eg some high school kid takes their parents 4 door civic out for a lil speed driving
    and i've seen the scene in Vancouver yeah its crazy there
    but i dun't think calgary has much racing
    even edmonton they meet at tim hortons or boston pizza to race
    not calgary though
    haha oh well a traffic light once in a while is good enough 4 me ^_^

    Saskatchewan has a streetracing scene?
    Modded Rams and F150's?
    It just doesn't seem like a huge import place to me. They might have domestics I guess
