I don't agree with street racing because innocent people can be hurt because it is an uncontrolled environment. They have the forfeiture law in Florida as well. Quite a few people have been killed here because of street racing. The thing I don't like about the law is they they confiscate the car before being convicted and every day they have it impound fees accumulate so even if you are proven not guilty you probably can't get your car out of hock and lose it anyway. That sucks. Down here they can confiscate spectators as well. That isn't right.

Save it for the track. If your parents are that rich to buy you those cars, you can afford a nice track day.

Heck they could probably rent out a track as a birthday party...

I agree Mike. If you can afford those kinds of cars, you can afford track time. Besides, with that kind of power, you can really open them up on a track and not have to worry about cross traffic or anything suddenly getting in your way.

No lesson learned at all. Far from it. Being forced to drive one of their other Italian supercars for a while is a small price to pay for the cool story and 15 mins of fame they get.
