    These guys really need ankle-cuffs, so they NEVER can drive a car again.

    What a douche bag. All it takes is one simple mistake and he kills some innocent person.

    Ego is a strange thing.

    Yeah,

    He should get jailtime just for claiming he did it.

    I usually let most small crimes pass, but this is a real big crime.

    BTW - My absolute best time for cross country is 69 hours solo and i should have been arrested for that.
