The call to parade for the 10 YO asked the driver's to "be loud" and they were. I don't agree with the stupid woman but I don't agree with a bunch of idiots that might have 'uncorked' before heading out.

This is a no win deal.

Another quote from the video, "This Mustang in particular is the most deafening thing I've ever heard in my life."

And.... "A whole line of race cars...."

Not sure why the guy in the video is so obsessed with bead-locks.

That's basically a Houston suburb. Crazy.

Everyone is little (OK a LOT) on edge right now, was it a good idea, no, was it right to stop the cars so they would keep revving their engines, no...

No winners here

Fwiw, I was talking about basically all involved parties, but you have to admit, it was a whole lot of drama over something that would have gone away all on its own in less than 5 minutes .

Anyone want to guess if Karen is the HOA president?

I pity her. She is a hemorrhoid to others for a minute or two but she has to live with herself 24/7/365

People have nothing better to do with their time and have to be in everyone's business. The loud cars are not cool neither. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. The whole thing blows over in less then 3 min, why not jsut let it go away on its own instead of raising one's blood pressure?

My neighborhood's been btiching about illegal fireworks for the past two weeks from areas down below. People bring them in from Mexico and the fire them off every years for as long as I can remember before and after the 4th. There's a group (they aint from here goddamntransplants) that's been going around taking photos and addresses handing them over to the cops and posting it on the net. They are the very same people that want to disband the cops withg their BLM signs all over their yards (no, they ain't black). That's right, turn in your neighbors over a simple thing like fireworks.

Targa Newfoundland, fall 2018. Pissed off resident backs his motor home into the road where a pickup is blocking his drive on the right at 1:02 in. Held up the race for over an hour.

Watch this Ford Fairmount. It is awesomely set up but the race rules will not allow you to exceed a certain speed across the whole of the run. It's unfortunate. He coasted most of the way.

Why go if you can't run?

I would take drive-by ass-holery before property damage any day. They are not even remotely the same thing.
