It's not so much to me about coolness factor as it is about feeling. Not that 'zen' feeling either. Whoever first coined that shit is retarded, it’s more about the feeling of sheer terror that rushes through you when you're hauling ass at a yellow light that's just turned red. That or rolling down a really steep hill and keeping it under control. It's more of a 'holy shit I made it without dying' thing...Alan Sikric.
