    Well I take it you did not view that segment . Those were Exotics weaving in and out and even cutting off an 18 Wheeler. all because you can afford a Ferrari does mot mean you are smarter than the guy driving the Mustangs

    Well I did watch the segment, and I'm speaking solely from my experience and that is that I've never seen someone in a Ferrari out on the road with something to prove to other drivers. Racing some friends in their exotics? Yes. Out trying to scare other drivers off the road? Absolutely not. Like I said, general statement

    Some here seem to be trying to link driving habits and brainpower to the kind of car you drive. Stop it...there is just no correlation between gray matter or driving and whether or not you drive a Gremlin, modified Honda or Ferrari. Smart people do stupid things every day and stupid people can drive quite well. I know well what goes on in the Trauma rooms around Long Island...there just is no correlation. We see it all.....Soccer moms putting makup on while driving, cell phone talkers (victim of one myself) slamming into just about everything, Lamborghini's racing vette's (search the forums here on that one) or ricers out to drag race...

    So if you think you've weighed the risks of driving too fast on public roads and the odds are in your favor, stop kidding yourself. The biggest Brembo's in the world may not be able to stop you from slamming into old Mr. Smith with glaucoma who couldn't possibly see you coming - or me, in my Honda Pilot loaded up with my wife, three kids, and kiddie gear that can sometimes block part of the view out my back window.

    Go ahead...speed. Enjoy your cars. That's what we all do.....but this mega fast BS with traffic around?!?!? Cut it out, because sooner or later.........

    Well I finally got around to watching the segment. Not bad.

    As for everyone that has their panties in a wad, chill out. You all act as if you have never broken ANY traffic laws. How many stop signs have you rolled through? How many "the light was still yellow" have you blown through? How about all these people that abuse "handicap" parking plates using them as VIP parking passes, when they really are for people who are CRIPPLED or have no legs. How many times have you been late for work and sped to get there? How many of you have driven with bald tires, and in the rain. How many times have you swerved into the next lane because you were too busy trying to dial a number on your cell phone? Etcetera.

    The difference between the video and you, is that your violations of the law, and dangerous driving habits aren't on tape.

    No, The bigger difference is the times I have had a little fun was for my personal enjoyment, Not to profit on it by putting it on a video then being dumb enough to get it shown on TV. To keep the sales of those types of video up more extreme driving and stunts will have be done. That segment made them look like a bunch spoiled selfish brats that cared more about making a buck than the publics safety.

    OK. I'm not going to make a statement about speeding but I do have a question. With the strict rules on agressive driving can't the police use the video to ID the drivers and issue tickets?? They know the juristiction where the incident happend and it wouldn't be that hard to ID the drivers. Reminds me of the kids who filmed themselves shooting people with paintball guns and then were arrested when cops viewed the video.....

    I had that issue once before - uninstall and clear install of the newest QT should help.
