also, what makes people think theyll "win" the race with three other passengers in the car? the only thing that drives this is pride.

they didnt mention if the girls were wearing seatbelts or not. i get very annoyed when people enter my car and don't even put on their seatbelts. anyone who's been in even a 10mph accident without a seatbelt on will know that you're gonna go flying.
