Getting whipped

Greetings fellows and ladies

I was watching the news today and saw something interesting in a stupid way. Apparently some young adults are getting out of their cars while the vehicle is moving, to get on the hood, listen to hip hop music, and dance. This movement is called something like "cracking the whip" or something to that nomenclature.
I think this is stupid for a couple of reasons. First, why is the slang for a car called a whip? I cannot understand this. Is it because of the phenomena of whiplash? Or do people whip their cars into lanes and parking places?
Second, this act is very dangerous. The whole purpose is not to be in the car and let it go whether. On the news they showed video of some guy outside on his truck leaping off as the truck went into a telephone pole. If you want to do something stupid and dangerous, then fine. Of course if this is on your own. Unfortunately, it does not work that way. Usually when people do something it affects other people, mainly innocent bystanders. What if another car was coming down the road? Or what about the people who lost power because this guy knocked out a pole?
Third, if you have that much money to waste on your car, then you should not be driving. Plus if their car stereo is the best audio equipment they have, then what about a MP3 player? Even a walkman? You can purchase those at dollar stores these days.
another thing is why hip hop? I personally do not listen much to hip hop, but it will be another reason for people to blame that particular music. They might think that the bass will help to balance the car.
Perhaps these people could set up their own courses. My suggestion is not to get between the lines. Go out and do you thing.
If you want to go outside of your car and dance, then fine. There are plenty of places to do it, namely the ground or dance clubs.
There is nothing wrong with dancing, when done in the proper context. It is good exercise. Maybe these desperate guys could find some women, other than their vehicles, to spend time with.
