Welcome to Funday-Sunday: The roar of engines and screeching tires!

[Zacha341]

Rumble and roar!! Not just limited to Sundays but INCREASINGLY groups of young and not so young gather drag racing, do figure-eight etc. with their muscle cars along Woodward south of West Grand Blvd., parts of Grand River, some on the east side, etc. Some 'drivers' tearing down residential streets. One taking out a few small trees near my block.

I'd rather avoid driving Woodward or their other faved spots after 10:00 PM Friday thru Sunday night. Forget it! Great day [[or should I say night!) for any ambulances needing Woodward as a thoroughfare! Hah!

Working on video screen-cast productions for my work requires a certain level of quiet for concentration if not for sake of the recordings. Well I guess when the snow and ice starts these activities and noise will die down. For sure the tires should be worn thin BY THEN!! Not that those cars did well in snow even with new tires. The Dodge units for sure don't!

Anyone else noticing the joy? Apparently the police have thrown up their hands here. I noticed it increasing about two months ago.

Daylight shows the skid marks. At $500+ each for these specialty tires and the economy as it heading... Well couple that Michigan's long winters, the balded tires, the ultimate repossessions will put an end to much of this I'm certain! Silenced until the spring?

These events are called Sunday-Funday [[though not limited to Sunday) also during the day but not as much drag racing - promoted thru social media.
