Check out Blasterguy (I'm not picking on you, BTW) but 2 speeding tickets and a totaled car and you're not 18 yet. I had a couple of speeding tickets and one or two fender benders under my belt at that age, too. But when I had to pay my own insurance and needed my car to drive to work I calmed right down. Now I'm that guy you can't stand to be behind in traffic.

I think you guys are right. There's something wrong with the PARENTS here, not the kids. There's no way I'm buying my kids a new car when they're old enough. I'm not too old to remember how I drove when I was 16. They either earn it or they're walking. That way if they trash it, it's their stuff they're destroying.

I still cant stop driving like an ******* at 22, I'd feel retarded buying a new car for my future kid at age 16. The difference between me and MOST 16 yr olds is: I drive with precision accuracy and care not to kill people. I have had no wrecks, not even at the fault of others cause I avoid morons like the plague, and one speeding ticket, for doing 79 on the Interstate in a 70 zone, whoopidy doo. I guess my problem is with drivers who dont pay attention, cause I was in the car with my mom through five accidents, 3 of them totals. I PAY ATTENTION. Youngins havent had enough scares or insurance hikes (that they have to pay) to pay proper attention.
EDIT: paying attention while speeding has saved me from some big tickets. In fact, the one I got for 9 over I had been going 20 over, the cop even congratulated me for slowing down so fast. He said he knew I was paying attention!

Sounds like the usual "it's not me, it's the others" mentality.

Oh it's definitely me, man. With my driving history I'm suprised they haven't locked me up. How about you?

Hey, i'm 17, and i got a 93 Crown Vic with 206,000 miles on it. My parents DID pay for it, but as a result i'm my little siblings personal choeffour. (good deal for them huh) When i breaks, i have to go out there and fix it, my dad teaches me if i don't know how. So far i've replaced the Water pump, the spark plugs, rear shocks, did a complete overhaul of the airbag suspension to normal springs, replaced the HEATER CORE (shudder), thermostat, battery wires, and idler pulley. It one of the safest and largest car out there. I had to go to driving school on my saturdays for 3 months to get my parents approval to drive. I had to WORK for my license, and i hate all those pretentious *****es at school. One of 'em even has a Ford Excursion with a custom plate that says "Daddy's Little Angel"

What a *****

I hate retarded morons that drive below the limit and don't look over their shoulder when they merge.

That's for another thread, this one is for baggin' on teenies with flashy cars.

I wasn't exactly given a car, but I did have free access to it when I first got my license. I was a moron. Of all the kids I knew growing up, only one of them was reasonable behind the wheel, and she was a pain in the *** passenger (now that I look back, it was probably because I was such an *** behind the wheel). Kids don't know what they need to in order to make them good drivers. We as a country just give out licenses to anyone who can sign their name. On my test I had to parallel park in a 25 FOOT SPOT!!!! I mean, come on, where's the test? The only one I know who failed turned down the wrong way on a one way street for crying out loud.

I'm older now, and drive slower, and earned the car I drive. I won't be giving my kids anything more than a 4-banger. I'll probably try to get the governer dropped to 80. I'll install a carputer with a gps tracking recorder. If they try anything, I'll know immediately. G-forces, rpms, speeds, locations. Everything. If they don't want me knowing everything, they can get a job and buy their own car and get their own insurance. I'm not going to let them get away with the crap I did. I cost my mother too damn much money.
