I wonder if they even know they can do that?

Thug Life,

I'm sure you realize that .5 outta 1 is more than 3 out 10. So at least you're taking it a little more seriously than Whatever.

Starting around 14 seconds was the clip that I wanted to analyze. After about 15 minutes of searching, I found they were in Fort Lauderdale near the Zezgo's and SIXT location.



This area has a posted speed limit of 40 MPH.



Here is the starting point I chose because it is fairly close to when the Lambo begins their pull. He begins almost parallel to the end of the intersection and hits his brakes roughly around the Zezgo sign.



Using Google Earth, I was able to calculate the distance as being roughly 110 yards. This is where it gets a little tricky, but I had to time it with my phone. From that point until the Zezgo sign is roughly 2.86 seconds. The rest is just a bit of math.

speed = distance/time
speed = 110/2.86
speed = 38.46 yards per second
speed = 38.46 * 3600 (seconds)/1760 (yards)
speed = 78.68 mph

Jamarr was driving roughly 78 mph in a posted 40. Hope you enjoyed.

This is not racing. What Rashee Rice did was street racing.

Irresponsible and dangerous, but not surprising. They don't play in the NFL because of their ability to assess risk in a measured, thoughtful manner.

Awful: Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are racing their new +250K Lamborghini's all over Miami.

Potentially putting many civilians' lives at risk...

Crap like this can go sideways real quick. These dudes to be smart and stay safe.

At least they aren't drinking like they were when they were in Cincy. Looks like Ja'Marr got himself a fender bender there at the end lol

They are young dudes having fun after getting paid big, those are some badass cars and they can get away from you though.

I agree, they need to calm their roll a bit. Zac ought to give them a call and make sure they stay grounded.

*shrugs* I mean, you don't drop a half million+ on a new Lamborghini to putter around in the car pool lane.  

My experience learning to drive was probably a lot different than most, granted.  My dad had me gun it up to 100 mph on the highway late at night and slam on the brakes and come to a complete stop from 70 and 35, his philosophy being that you had to understand what the car could and couldn't do to operate it safely.  His dad taught him the same way.  

But Mikey boy should put the clamps on this by tossing in an '89 Chevy Lumina with every contract going forward, and have it governed to 55 mph to make sure they can't speed(if the PoS will even run in the first place).

Yeah, have to have a little fun with your new Lamborghini you bought that is for sure. It can easily get a bit out of hand though if you 
don't watch it. This isn't Henry Ruggs crap or anything like that, but they are weapons you are driving around that is what my Dad told
me the first time I drove a car.

Clearly some of you guys have never driven in Miami. This is how they all drive. I have to go there all the time and I would rather drive in Manhattan than Miami. They are some of the most reckless drivers on the planet.

Hopefully Jaa'Marr and Tee learn from the tragic case of another LSU WR playing in a car and learn to take it on a track instead of listening to the thuggish that say "no big deal". It never is, until it is:

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43361220/lsu-wr-kyren-lacy-facing-charges-stemming-fatal-car-crash

Quote:According to a news release from state police, Lacy was allegedly driving a 2023 Dodge Charger on Louisiana Highway 20 and "recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed by crossing the centerline and entering the northbound lane while in a designated no-passing zone."

"As Lacy was illegally passing the other vehicles, the driver of a northbound pickup truck abruptly braked and swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge," a Louisiana State Police news release said.

"Traveling behind the pickup was a 2017 Kia Cadenza whose driver swerved left to avoid the oncoming Dodge Charger. As the Kia Cadenza took evasive action to avoid impact with the Dodge, it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a southbound 2017 Kia Sorento."

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44664128/former-lsu-wr-kyren-lacy-died-apparent-suicide-police-chase-authorities-say

Quote:Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy, who was found dead Saturday night in Houston, died in an apparent suicide in his car while being pursued by authorities, according to a Harris County (Texas) sheriff's report released Sunday.

Perhaps the kid was just trying to be like one of his idols.

When I was that age, I had a BMW convertible. I remember racing my coworker to the putting green over lunch sometimes at work. He had a Honda hatchback.

One day we were neck and neck at a train track right before the golf course. I was in the left lane, he was in the right, I slowed down to not jump it - he hit the accelerator and caught air. In front of him, a greyhound bus was parked in the right lane. He couldn't see it because the train track was on a hill.

I saw the greyhound was in his lane, so I pulled left into the oncoming traffic lane to make space, and I saw him pull into my lane to avoid the bus.

After that I told him we're not racing anymore lol.

Young people can make dumb decisions, regardless if people tell them it's a bad idea or not.

I also clearly remember taking 40 mph 90 degree turns at stoplights the first day owning my car, thinking it was able to do anything and I could control it.
