Those werent just dumb kids, they were just good drivers doing dumb things. I see that crap ALL the time over here, mostly with bikes, but there is no shortage of Jap guys, usually in 180's, driving on the street as if they were on the track. And I know a couple of them that would, and do, RAPE me and most everyone else on the track.

Thats called luck tanjo, not skill. They simulated normal driving since they were using public roads except the fact they were going MUCH faster.

In the event of normal driving, you go about your routine, YOU do everything correctly, change lanes correctly, maintain speed etc etc, then an idiot out of the corner comes out of nowhere and hits you. You could be a good driver but some other dumbass hit you, it wasnt your fault.

Same concept here, they shown basic driving skills but with the help of PURE luck didnt get hit by anotehr car on the road. They past many cars in their blind spots and all it takes is one pedestrian car to not seem him come out of nowhere at 100mph+ and hit him and there goes those cars.

If they were on a track racing against other drivers on a course, pushing their cars to the limits and making good times, THATS skill.

Passing random people on the highway wrecklessly, going between cars even though there is no lane there, THATs not skill, thats luck they didnt get their *** hit.

Looks like they got hella pulled over, even in the end, what abunch of idiots.

I mean we all speed and occasionally maybe make a quick turn in and out, but nothing like this I wouldn't think. Chasing Cops? IDK, just asking for trouble for sure, and it looks like they got it.

the only question i have is why are hondas "ricer" seems only to be hondas. if u think about it supras/rx7s/subies could be rice to it all depends on the driver or at least thats what i thought.for instance a person that buys a evo mr cause they herd it was fast "ricer".

i like hondas is a s2k rice.
can some one elaborate on this.

The video says that theyve been doing it for a long time, on that highway, so I doubt there have been many, if not any, accidents. That, also, is not just luck.

what i meant was

i like hondas (and if ppl consider hondas rice) would that make an s2k rice

rice is to cars like fads are to clothes

its all a state of mind thus the ricey 7 supras and so on...hope that clears up my incoherent rambleings.

they all had little rice machines which helps with clearance
