I get that some people like burning rubber but can’t they just fuck around in the middle of nowhere. Nobody to annoy or crash into, less chance of getting caught: it’d be better for everyone. At the very least they could avoid residential areas.
I was gonna say can’t they just go to a track day, but fuck me have they not got expensive since the last one I attended.
Pretty sure I paid £60 for the day in 2010 and now the same track is £220….
I wonder what these kids are going to do to make noise when the cars are all electric?
While I agree that mindless revving, doing burnouts etc is just moronic, there should be nothing ‘illegal’ about a few mates sitting in a public car park at night with no one else about.
Modified car drivers are always unfairly prosecuted because they’re an easy target. It’s ok for a group of rowdy lads to get pissed on a Friday night, drink in the street, chant loudly, cause fights, urinate down alleys and litter yet get completely ignored 99% of the time by police, but heaven forbid you rev a car that you’ve already paid probably £2k+ in insurance and tax just for the privilege of being allowed on the road and upset a Karen.
This is the result of monstrously expensive track days if you want to do it with any regularity and nowhere cheap to let off steam.

Cube their car

None of them would do it then.
