sigh..

it seems that this thread has gotten out of hand, going from a simple question to ones Personal Beliefs

if anyone knows how to delete or at least close a thread WITHOUT getting their personal lives involved then i would love to know

and if an admin sees this i emplore him to close/delete this thread.

I'd like to remind everyone that all i wanted to know was
1. does an OBD1 computer have a speed limiter
2. If you ran a manually switched 12V wire to the coil would it temporarily
bypass the computer limiter or would it burst into flames

I did not ask the moral ethics of speeding or why people rat out speeders

I ESPECIALLY didnt ask anything about drugs! AT ALL!


to think a senior in high school would have more sence than some of the great ppl on this forum. sigh...

You forgot Rats, Murder, and homosexuality.

I don't blame ya' and I was part of the problem....dang thread went clear off into left field. All it takes is one.

Nope, after a quick reread, I see you got Rats!

I don't see much Moderating going on here. Are there any moderators?

I dont like speeding, because I cant afford to do it, but if someone else wants to, that is their choice a free person.


soapbox off.

I have already been cut off while running with traffic by someone who did not pay attention more times than I can count. If you want to go fast, put it on the track.
What happened to asking a question and getting an answer,I swear to God who is to tell me I can't go 200 miles an hour .to many liberal dinks I'm personally trying to find an answer to a question n all y'all want to do is put a fellow AMERICAN down for wanting to do it. This 8 thought was a help page not a bitch page

Somehow I find it a little ironic, someone pulling up a thread that's been dead for 10 years and complaining about people complaining in it.

I clicked on it and thought crap a 10 year old thread, then noticed how entertaining it was and read it through. Such feelings. So incriminating. much childish.
