After looking over Blood Sport, I don't see how street racing would qualify. Maybe if there were a Car Fu element, but it doesn't seem to qualify for the most part.

On a side note, I've been considering a TLP proposal on Illegal Racing which would cover these entries. I'll run it through Trope Finder first.

Nevermind that in the work in question, everything is set in an Alternate Universe where it has been legalized...

Bumping to say vince4884l self-reverted part of the edit himself (even removing a shoehorn of Invincible Classic Car I had failed to notice he had added... wait, is this a self-edit war?). He likely saw the ATT, but didn't answer it himself, and I still have issues with the first bulletpoint. Still asking permission to fully revert and restore to remove the overly descriptive/redundant parts.

Sadly bumping, as after he restored the Nightmare Fuel page to its previous version, Vince unilaterally changed it once again. He also added a misuse of Bland-Name Product under a Character folder.

Wasn't there once a Nightmare Fuel page for a racing game that was ultimately cut because all of the entries were things like "The game over screen has red lettering"?

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

I say do the reversions. They seem like shoehorns to me.

^^ Very much not the case here. ^ Will do. As for the other issues such as grammar and misuse? I have sent notifiers, but they react to them by trying to clean up their edits in the wrong ways. Again, I don't want them to be suspended despite this behavior, I'd just like them to be more receptive and correct these repeated issues.
