It was all over the Chicago land news last night. They were showing clips of the Fast and Furious with it all night. Can't really call the kid an idiot because I've gone faster, but never on a highway like that. Damn sportbike accelerates too fast.

"Kids sort of have tunnel vision," Emmons said. "They're so concerned with not getting yelled at or grounded, they place other people's lives in jeopardy."
does that mean they'll give him leniency.
