I can't really speak for everyone else, but I certainly do not mean to be judgmental or to come down on you to guilt you into conforming to my expectations. Nothing like that at all. I'd be the biggest hypocrite ever if I did.
Like UBG, I've had my share of "glory days" beating the stuffing out of my cars, and, for long stretches, spending more time without a license than with one (although, driving the whole time - equally stupid).
Also, like UBG, I got to a point where I realized how completely moronic I was acting, and how I had chosen one of most ridiculous reasons to spend my days "in trouble with the law." Fortunately for me, I managed to come to that realization before I killed myself or someone else.
I think (and now I will speak for the board - speculatively anyways) that everyone here is being so hard on you because some of us know what could happen - even on an empty country road - and we don't want to be using pictures of your car to try to keep someone else from hitting a pole and scattering themselves all over some farmland somewhere.
You're right. It's ignorance we're talking about. Ignorance in the true sense of a lack of knowledge, understanding, or appreciation about something. The point here, I think, is that you don't seem to fully appreciate the risks. If you do, and you undervalue your life or health so much that you are fine with taking those risks, than have at it. By all means.
I don't think we're all so worried that you might take us with you. We're afraid that it would just get too damn depressing around here if you - or any of us - f**ked themselves up just to see if they could hit 130 on the parkway. IMHO, that's just stupid.
