Survey for School Project

[Gr8One]

I'm doing a project at school on street racers and the whole street racer culture. I need to get as many of these surveys done as possible so if you could spare a few minutes, I'd really appreciate it. I don't know if it'd be easier to copy the questions from this and paste in a reply and then answer under each question or just to type the number of the question and your answer. Please do whichever is easiest for you. Thank you for helping!
(I'm posting this a few other places, so please only answer once if you've seen this already.)
