NYTimes.com - Poland's Car Culture

[silvia4live]

WTF? its like the reporter would take the wrong plane, landed in lodz, came back to NY and " hey guys ... ur not gonna belive it. the folks in poland have cars..." "yehh right, no way" racing in poland was always there, only now we got more cash to spend on rides, wanna race without goin to jail? ur more then welcome....

[xXturbo86Xx]

damn! i love Poland! WAY TO GO!

[cheapbucko45]

cool

[snprjackson]

What is the name of the city where this takes place?

[wygram]

Łódź

[snprjackson]

Hey, thanks ^^

[Guso1020]

"Embaracing legalized street racing" huh??

So You try to reduce illegal races by 90% just by one gov action. Knowing america it would be propably army on the street.

[mcshithead2007]

That F1 car was sick but not as sick as that station wagon

[jiawei115]

How funny it is.

[rmofo]

i cant wait for the video that shows someone crashing into the crowd.. haha I saw a few early 90's models cars in that video. are they really that far behind in time?

[balckangeles2007]

yea that y its probably safe to race.under today's modern cars that go very fast

[wygram]

it's weird that they showed all the shit cars. there's rs4's, gt2's and 3's, r8's, skyline's, biturbo v12 amg mercedes, and many more.. so why they chose crap cars is beyond me. or maybe only the wuses go to the public events, and all the good cars stay illegal =D

[nushadow2008]

this is awesome, but they could just go to a drag strip, governments or sponsers should make it free though so that the easiest choice between illegal and legal is the obvious one

[SimonLX]

We are talking about poland, its a large country, but i imagine they have like 2 at most, we certainly have only 2 decent ones in england!

Its all about race circuits in Europe!

[nushadow2008]

Haha I love race circuits more though, they should close off public streets for races in a circuit style manor.

[djdimasik]

sounds kool to me!

[mercsan117]

I would love to take my 751 AWHP AMS Evo there, and impress the polish people and get all the girls in about 9 seconds.

[thatcoolguy69]

If you have to tell us over the internet you must really have never got a girl in your life and probably dont have that car.

[AlfredMcLuvian]

Funny. I suppose you're a stupid American chunk, who has never been to Europe.

Btw, the car you've mentioned is 30x more expensive in EU than in your cheap country.

Being British, I know many other Americans who flew away from Europe to Us because they could no more afford, actually, anything.

Regards

[pdp110]

Stupid Americans!? That is why we are the strongest nation in the world! And as for car racing, we are home to the worlds most premiere drivers... So think before speaking little british poof!

[wygram]

strongest nation in the world... big misconception. very powerful, used to be the most powerful.. but not anymore.

and who are the the worlds most premiere drivers? there aren't any in f1.. or do you mean nascar? it's really hard driving around in a circle

[adityasuresh]

wow, I wish I lived in Poland

[TheRandomCrazyShow]

everyone should come and watch the random crazy show

[r32adt3db]

how long before one of those idiots along the street barrier get taken out by an inexperienced driver?

[s0hothere]

GUYS LETS GO TO POLAND lol

[liguidsolid702]

i wish i can see this kind of shit in America...i hope anytime soon

[YawnGod]

You will not see this kind of shit in America...at least any time soon.

[mercsan117]

what? There are organized street drags all the time. lol Qual'comm....drift buffet...Nopi. What do you mean you wont see it in america.

[YawnGod]

I suppose I stand corrected?

[mercsan117]

Yeah, hehe

[cydweighz]

WIDZEW!

[woohoo923]

wow I wonder if they'll make it legal here because of all the street racing we have in the us.??''

[patriciansrule]

the world aspires to be like us(US)too make things a bit clearer for some youtubers.

[HSOJ2020]

So gay.

[patriciansrule]

lets face it we have an influence on the world in every aspect jeans,soda pop,rock and the love of muscle cars..ahh yes i love the empire of america

[jonche16]

muscle cars lol did u see any muscle cars there lol NOOB

[nick54372]

this guy must have a slow car!!!

[vtc220]

that bmw was slow as shit

[MMApolish]

I dont know why they showed so powerless cars there. In poland is a lot of streetracer with strong cars . for example 1000KM Toyota Supra.

[k20aintegra]

What do you mean 1000KM Supra, surely you mean 1000 Bhp?

[MMApolish]

right my bad in polish is KM

[UnconcernedCitizen]

Bikes bad. Cars good.

[0o0oAlexXxXx]

boring!

[jammug3n]

STREET RACING IS always better than the track!!!! the fun is from running from slow COPS

[Rata4u]

Yeah, like you could outrun a helicopter? People in Los Angeles know that you are guaranteed to get caught and most of those people already have ruined lives so they don't care! They'll go to jail and get their 3 meals per day because on the outside they can't even get a job at McDonalds. But then the other dumb fucks don't realize there are consequences because everybody seems to be doing it - why would they if there are consequences? Then you grow up and realized you're fucked for life.

[Squidz0rz]

If our government did this more instead of wasting money on war, then the usa would be a much better place.

[hardhitta815]

haha them cars top out at like 45... get real cars.

[greddy9]

Why do people get caught street racing and get into accident here in the U.S. Because we suck! Nobody want to go to the track on friday only, where you have to pay $20 and wait for 2 hours for 1 run. This is a great idea.

[hornetobiker]

What a fuckin great idea. This is what we need: More pragmatic government.

[calvinjones]

i think that you will find this isnt an option in LA.

The LAPD need there quota of agressive crack downs and the 'black' option is getting more difficult.

[Zcarbon]

Thats a pretty good idea from the goverment, too bad our goverment sucks a big one.

[BomberA3]

Good idea! Now to strengthen against illegal racing they could fine those drivers even more since there is an alternative!

[f4m4s0wnage]

does anyone like warrock?

[acidrun]

God damn Europe seems so cool to me now xD

[acidrun]

Wow.. so many countries in Europe are taking action and being so progressive O_O makes North America seem so stagnant.

[princedavid0]

drag racing Smarts?? lol

[shuriken090]

good idea.. less people crashing and killing others in illigal racing ..

[apexvin]

its only unorthodox to u yanks.

[mr2ya]

LOL, the strip wasn't even stright.

and how many polocks does it take to run

18sec qtr miles? All of them, thats how many

[tehnoobslife]

Lmfao...

[calladuz]

Finally a government that got it right! Instead of catching speeders on the highway for guys racing on local roads (WTF?) like the Ontario (Canadian) government does, they let them race safely.

[preludedriver226]

WAIT WHAT? Your cops don't try to kill you if you are street racing?

[kevman77]

If America can legalize gay marriages they can do this too.

[PadzTheOne]

rofl not bad

[AlexZTuned]

Is the narrator the son of Ben Stein?

[somenun]

comment on my video and ill comment back

[superowls70]

I bet they cant beat my donkeys

[theblackpiece]

nice idea.

[AlexCail]

Sweet deal.

[tyberious213]

AWESOME!! now it's Americas turn!

[bikedrifters927]

lmao

[cambodianricer]

i wish.... but they do have drag strips

[Hussar0]

makes sense.
