Streets are for driving, not "racing."

You know, I completely agree with your notion of the streets are for driving, and not for "racing." I think this point is especially relevant in light of everything that has happened this past year in terms of tragic "racing" accidents.
However, in no way do I believe that you bought an E46 M3 and never gunned it at a light or exceeded the speed limit on the interstate, etc. Unless you bought it exclusively as a track car, there is no way I believe that you never tapped into the car's power excessively on public roads.
I was not trying to condone/promote street racing or anything of that sort. Not even close. I'm just a realist, and I know when people buy expensive/fast cars they occasionally like to have fun with them in the real world.
If you never speed out there in the real world, congratulations buddy.
