    Houston has a great drag strip (HRP in Baytown, personal best [email protected]) open to the public. Why are these dbags making enthusiasts look like morons?

    (moderator note: Moved this to off topic because this is not a model 3 topic, this is a "car gets shot at, happens to be a model 3" topic. These discussions inevitably turn to gun control / gun violence, so moving to off topic.

    Well since this is going to off topic anyway- I think, at least in the United States of America, people are starting to think they can get away with crimes these days. They see people get away with severe crimes on national TV and start thinking the law no longer applies in this country.

    also there a lot of new gun owners over the past year because of the pandemic and the political strife. IMO the worst time to buy a firearm is in a panic. The wrong people get them and even the right people get them for the wrong reasons and in the wrong way.

    Street racers often have other criminal hobbies as well. Violence at street races is common.
    Be aware though - In California, New York, and some other states, they can seize your car and sell it (even if you are making payments) if you are caught at the street races.

    The horror of going straight for a gun in any situation. The brain doesn't have time to think, but the hand already reaches for the gun. (
