Today, I took my girlfriend to a local drag racing spot to get her more involved with my friends. Her ex showed up and wanted to race me. I won the race, but blew my engine. I had to use his dad's towing service to get my car home. FML

Today, after having saved up my money for months to buy my college-bound son the car of his dreams, I got a phone call telling me it had been totalled during a drag-race. I only gave him the keys two days ago. FML

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML

Today, I went on a date with a girl that I really like. I picked her up from her house, and as I was pulling out of her driveway, I hit her dad's BMW, knocking off the bumper. FML

Today, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML

Today, my boyfriend got pulled over and arrested for driving with a suspended license. Instead of getting my car impounded, his friend thought he'd do me a favor and drive it back to me. He doesn't know how to drive stick and blew my engine. My boyfriend is in jail and I no longer have a car. FML

Today, I was racing my friends to the car for shotgun in the parking lot at night. I opened the passenger door of the car to find an old lady staring at me. It was the wrong car. FML

Today, my car broke down. My boyfriend, who is not too handy, insisted on fixing it. He called me outside and said he was done and started the engine. Moments after rejoicing, it burst into flames. FML

Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML

Today, I went for a drive to clear my head of relationship issues. That night, I got pulled over. Lost the car and my license. I texted my girlfriend, saying I was sorry; she left. Lost her too. FML

He may have won, but it was a challenge to see who has bigger balls than brain.

Drag racing is incredibly dangerous. You could have seriously hurt or killed yourself or someone else. NO ONE should be impressed by that sort of behavior. YDI for choosing such a reckless method of "showing off".

Yeah and you risk your life driving to and from work everyday and nobody is bitching at you. Just because somebody chooses a certain hobby doesn't give you the right to put said person down. OP clearly has fun drag racing and more then likely knows the danger of the sport. I hate when people like you remind people how dangerous the hobby is we know. Your stupid that is all.

I honestly have no problem with meathead idiots who feel the need to compensate for their lack of length and girth (yes that's a penis reference) showing off for for each other by risking their own lives. But when your choice of an inane hobby puts innocent people (i.e. the public) at risk due to your own stupid behavior, then I believe the more mature members of society have a right and a responsibility to speak out against it.
