If you can drive your car to the local supermarket it's a street car. If you have to have a trailor follow you 10-20 miles down the road go fuck yourself because you don't have a street car. I have driven my car to Ohio, Marlyand, Chicago, etc. If you can't go 15 miles on the street fuck off.
Oh I agree. If it isn't drivable, its not a street car. It should be able to make its own trips, and I'd say more than 15 miles.

It is a bit confusing. Sometimes they shut down whole highways and stack up traffic. Not sure how they get away with it...

I guess since the road is shut down and traffic is backed up no way the cops could come through either ?

Yeah, i guess when they do it at 2am then not many people are out...or if they're smart about it they run a detour sign at the exit right before where they race - that keeps people happy at least and not pissed off that they're waiting and cant go anywhere haha. And blocking it for 5-10 minutes or so is probably quick enough for them to run then get out of there before cops.
