Dude no offense, but you wreck a lot. Whats the deal? Theres a time for defensive driving and a time to accelerate hard every gear. You gotta know when to have fun and when to just cruise, lotta dumb drivers out there to watch for, so pay attention 
 
I'm only 17 and have 1 year driving experience... so I haven't wrecked... I'll admit I've been in bad situations already that aren't my fault but handle them well.... I was on the back roads around here rallying, pushing 40mph over the 40mph speed limit and 25+ mph over the recommended speed limit on tight turns... and I go down a curve and as I come back up, two big german sheppards are walking down towards me, I had to act quick... looked ahead no car coming down at me on this 2 lane road, so I lightly braked, turned (Slide a little) into the other lane, gave it some gas and corrected myself back into my lane avoiding the dogs.... Not fun, at all.... Thats the only downside to where I rally. Its f**king small beat up houses with dogs (EVERYWHERE) typically though they avoid the road and stay in the yards. But it gives you some adrenaline, especially if I go farther out and don't know the road sometimes your going over a hill and you can't see the other side, and you look straight and theres a road down there but really your road is curving to the right, you gotta have reaction when your pushing 70mph... I used to go do this twice a month, but I've seen to many cops just driving through there and don't want a 30-50mph over the speed limit on my record so I haven't been in a while. It is fun though, aside from very small 2 lane roads and the possibilty someone veers into your lane or you do into theres, I wish I had the entire road to myself for a couple miles so I could really destroy the road. Now that would be a kick "Rallying" is fun, if you consider what I do "Rallying"
 
Little risky, but fun!
 
 
And as for cars I've owned:
 
2003 Audi A4 1.8TQ  (And thats it, cause I'm young)
 
 
I'd love to own a 350z or something with RWD though... my friends 240sx is a blast!

i have been in three accidents in 7 years, only one was my fault the other two i got rear ended.. the calais met its doom because i was off roading with it, it was my fault but off the books so it dosent count.. so really only two accidents in 7 years only one on the books as my fault..

1989 Ford Escort: first car, destroyed it getting air...
1994 Ford Escort wagon: free from parents
 
1994 Chevy Lumina Z34: converted 3.4 to 5.7 and rear wheel drive, 350 horsepower... rear-ended totaled
 
2000 Audi A4:  current car
 
im 23

hmmmmm just the 9000, though i either drive that or my dads 1500...i love a light rear end with that much tq and hp in a rear wheel drive vehicle in the rain
though im only 19 ive been driving stuff for years...im a farm boy i guess, lol so forklifts and big ass trucks, and tractors come as second nature too me....ive been in two accidents, neither my fault as i was a passenger in both, one rear ended and one headon collision with a minivan luckily no one was seriously hurt in either one thank god

1st vehicle - '84 Nissan Sentra, got it as hand me down from my bro after grad in '87. That car went through hell but held pretty good, caught air going over railroad tracks many times. Went through 3 clutches in 1 year...traded it in '89 for:
2nd vehicle - '90 Honda Civic SI, it was a fun car to drive but had issues with the ignition control module (recalled). Put in 140,000 miles and traded it in '96 for:
3rd vehicle - '96 Ford Ranger ext. cab. what a pos that truck was, no power, could barely pull its own weight. Went to a Honda dealer 2 weeks after getting the truck but was already upside down on the deal, so kept it for a while. Traded it in 2002 for:
4th vehicle - 2003 Chevy Silverado ext. 4.8L - It has been very dependable, not a single problem for 57,000 miles now. Still own this truck
5th vehicle - 2006 A4 2.0T quattro, it will be a year old at the end of this month

1. 1989 Volkswagen Jetta (auto/grey)- This was my first car! I still own it, the exterior doesn't look great, but the interior is brand new (it only has 90K on it!)... It always starts first turn of the key, never had a single problem with it. (it has like 100hp)
   
2. 1997 Ford explorer xlt (4 door) (auto/white)- bought it used w 37k on the clock, it was the 4.0L SOHC, it was damn fast for an SUV with only bolt ons, broke a connecting rod and sold it for $350... (prolly had around 280hp)
3. Leased a 2001 VW Jetta VR6 (brand new) (5spd/black)- It was nothing but problems, VW finally lemoned it out and gave me a ---- (173hp I think?)
   
4. 2003 VW Jetta VR6 - another worthless lemon (173hp?)(5spd/black)...started driving the Explorer again....
5. 1992 Mazda Miata (5spd/black) - fun ass car, put alot of hard work and money into it, flipped it driving the canyons (160hp)
   
6. 1972 Datsun 240Z (currently blue/4spd)(I think I am gonna go black and do a full motor/tranny swap)- My current race car, not currently street legal, up on jack stands at the moment, I love this car! (160hp at the moment)
7. 1998 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro (5spd/ black)- I freakin love this damn car!...(150hp)

1296hp total to the crank! (so far)
Can you see a pattern w black 5speed  cars?...By the end of summer my 240z  will be a black 5spd!

1. 1986 Chevrolet Sprint - silver/grey/rust - my first car, bought it when I was 17. had a 1.0L 3 cylinder with a 5 spd, ran on 2 cylinders for most of the time I had it.  sold it after I bought the first RX7. (45ish hp)

2. 1986 Mazda RX7 - metallic grey - non turbo, 5 spd.  original motor seized at about 110K miles, had a rebuilt motor installed for ~$3000.  that motor was a POS, I got ripped off on it.  it ended up cracking the part of the rotor housing where the water pump attaches, needed a new motor.  assholes wouldn't cover it under warranty, and by the time I got my sh*t together for a lawsuit the company had gone under and the guys disappeared... sold the car to buy the next rex. (150ish hp)

3. 1989 Mazda RX7 turbo II - red - 5 spd, full exhaust, MBC @ ~15 psi with FCD, big injectors, walbro 255lph drop in pump, clutchmasters stage 3 clutch with LWFW, probably more mods that I'm forgetting. car got stolen, all the parts ripped off, and burned in the mountains.  I may or may not have cried. (250ish hp)

4. 1985 Nissan 200SX - orangey reddish - 5 spd, 2.0L 8 valve.  bought it as a rally car project with my best buddy.  really fun car to drive, decent amount of power in a light shell with RWD.  sold it a year later for $100 more than we paid for it, after thoroughly beating the sh*t out of it and replacing the rear end (twice, lol). (110hp)

5. 1987 Dodge Omni - white - 5 spd, project car.  swapped a 2.5L turbo motor into it and had big plans for it but they never happened.  the car's sitting on blocks at my buddy's parents' house.  should probably get rid of it. (~200hp)

6. 1996 Dodge Neon Sport - green - 5 spd, 2.0L DOHC, K&N panel filter, KYB AGX struts. bought it with the insurance settlement from the 2nd RX7.  still trying to sell the damn thing now that I bought the audi. (150hp)

7. 1999.5 Audi A4 - black - 1.8T, quattro, 5 spd.  sport package, leatherette interior.  bone stock for now.  first car I've ever had to make payments on. (150hp)

1988 Lincoln Towncar - totally averaged 9mpg, ford 5.0 HO swap and straight pipes. Loud as hell, slow as anything, but man was I pimpin'

1993 Chevy Cavalier - 35 mpg mixed, had the 2.2 and it was a fun, reliable car to drive. None of the creature comforts one would like, but it was a great commuter car. Gave it to my brother since he's in school and needed something to just put around in. only had 90k miles when I gave it to him, all original with no major parts replaced. I think the most money I had to spend on it was buying new shocks when the old ones wore out, and the coil packs. As far as low maitnence goes, that one was about as low as they came.

1999 (1999.5?) A4TQM - Currently own, mostly a daily driver with a few autocrosses planned. No mods yet, and I probably paid a little too much for it but eh. How many people get a mint 99 with only 45k miles and a two-year full waranty?

Shared a 1990 purple toyota corolla-with my sister...she crashed it and now has a 1999 Toyota 4runner
1.owned 2003 Toyota Celica GT-S fun car extreamly hard to drive in the snow...with my dad and almost got taken out by an 18 wheeler, grandfather was selling my next car at a great price couldnt resist
2. owned 2001 A4 2.8 quattro-just awsome

Share my dads 1992 Toyota camry(sometimes) with 330,000 miles on it (maybe more havent checked in a little bit...im at school) and no major problems

1985 Corvette
1994 Trans Am
1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD
1995 Golf CL - VR6 and full Euro conversion
1995 Camaro Z28 1le
And now I've just got the Audi. ... and the 02 gixxer.

1) 1977 Monte Carlo, bought it with 68K original miles (from a guy who looked a lot like Sipowitz(sp?) from NYPD Blue), drove it for less than a year when I was 16, then the frame started rusting so I sold it.
2) 1993 Cavalier, first manual transmission, was taught to drive it in an icy parking lot going uphill, good learning experience. When i bought this car, the line the salesman at the car lot used was "If I was going to skip town in any car on this lot tonight, this would be the one" needless to say it wasn't exactly the most upscale car lot, but the car was a tank. Sold this to buy...
3) 1996 Jetta 2.slow, fell in love with this car as soon as I test drove it. Had the money saved to put a supercharger on it and totalled it two weeks before I planned to buy the SC. Didn't have collision on it (because all my speeding tickets made my insurace sky high) so the SC money went to buying...
4) 1992 Maxima SE, searched for three weeks after totalling the Jetta for another VW, but found nothing in my price range. I found the Maxima and despite it being an automatic, which I told myself I would never own after my first manual, I bought it. When I went to buy it, the car lot was getting ready to close and it was on St. Patty's Day. The salesman who also happened to be the owner's son just wanted to go get drunk, so I beat him up on the price until I paid just under 70% of the sticker price out the door (I was very proud of myself).  Saved up some cash, sold the Maxima and bought my precious...
5) 1998.5 A4TQM I don't think I really need to explain to anyone in this forum the love that I have for this car, as I'm sure you all feel the same way about yours. Bought it from some douchebag who didn't know what he had and got it for almost $3K under book value.
