I guess you think 98% of cars look like shit then, since probably 98% of cars have silver rims (with the other 2% being chrome).

Black rims had their hayday 10 years ago, with 19 year olds driving modified Civics. Trying to look badass, but total fail, because from a distance they look like you're rolling on space-savers

Yes, I think 98% of car wheels look like shit, including the majority of chrome rims...

I've never been much for keeping up with the times... I guess I could just give a fuck what you or anyone else thinks... if I like it, fuck you. I guess that explains my fascination for Buells and my desire to strip down my bike...

Why all the hate for this guy?

He did a stupid thing and it cost him his life... The passenger was equally stupid and it cost him his life...

Sure, people who drink and drive kill innocents and that should be a focus... but that's not the case here... these two guys were not innocent and died as a result. I don't see this much piss and vinegar when someone gets a DUI and they are released back onto the streets to jeopardize lives in the future.

I will have the same attitude for DUI, drinking and driving and not getting caught, or dying. It doesn't matter what the outcome is, I am completely against it and the person that does it.

The general public would be significantly more outraged if they knew the stats on all the perps guilty of DUI, caught, and let go with a slap on the wrist. Or the ones that get caught multiple times, slide out of punishment and then kill someone and STILL get away with it with no more than rehab even if its a 3rd or 4th DUI...

I pretty much hate everyone willing to get that drunk and drive. I hate them even more when they do it in a race car at 130mph.

Gee, I wonder what it would be like to experience the damage from the outcome of this...

I dont know, but I can only sympathize for the victims and their families...and be angry that BS like this goes on. Its not always a great thing working behind the scenes...

ETA: Especially when you see the folks trying to make sure these douches get what they deserve and they get overturned for politics and other BS reasons

I know what it feels like to lose a very close family member to an asshat drunk driver. I am not going to post up the details on here or through the net, but if you want to know more about how fucked up the situation got, we can discuss it at the rally.
