I am officially scared to s!it about this new kid i work with, 17, parents bought him and evo MR hes taking delivery of next week, brothers got a B6 1.8t which hes driving right now and during break brought over his dads M5. i asked him to take me for a spin next thing i know were going 125mph in a 35mph zone in the center median. and i thought i was a scary driver. his car got up to 120 fater than my car getting to 80. whats more we almost took out a fmaily of geese.

 

Yeah I give him two months until he wraps the Evo around a tree, my friend who drives crazy wants to get an Evo also and I just tell him he's gonna kill himself. he has a jeep currently with a V8 and scares me to death when I drive with him because he'll take corners at speeds which I take them at, except I'm about 4in closer to the ground than him

 

Yeah if hes going 125 in a 35, I give him 2 months before he gets in a serious accident. Why do douche bags get sweet, super fast whips at such a young age?

 

Cause their parents buy them anything they want, they dont take care of it because they know if they crash it, they get a new one.

Just another example of kids getting the easy way out. My parents got me a car at 16, but it was my grandpas 1982 ford LTD.
After that, i was on my own!
You take care of a car more when its you that buys it!

 

he was confident at those speed and hes a member of the autobahn motor club so it not likes a new kid to driving, but seriuosly do that on the highway not a residential neighborhood. that was probably the fastest i ever got back to work from break.

 

Before taking out the M5 or his soon to be totaled EVO, dad gives him "the talk"..

You know son, this is a piece of high performance machinery, and it could kill you or somebody else. You must drive responsibly......."

Kid hears:

"blah blah blah-blah, yadda yadda yadda........"
---- He knows everything already at 17.

Of course dad is A FOOL for believing his son when he says "I know dad. I'm VERY careful. I pay attention. I'm a good driver."

 

would agree with you - except - instead of weeding out the gene pool from sheer stupidity or being taken out by a predator - these nitwits lose control flying into oncoming traffic taking the lives of innocents [>:]

see it too many time a year here...

 

I wouldn't call that crazy driving more like pure stupidity! I really hope you are not in the car when it takes on a light pole or any other object.

 

[:@] too much car for him obviously..


some kids are ok to take on that type of responsibility at that age -
others arent...

 

Sorrybut how often do you see trained professionals crash? Plus these pro's are generally much older than17.
