Maybe we Need to start a thread called"stupid youthfull driveing stories"or"how many cars ive trashed and lived to tell "Would the subject matter help the youth to see the light threw stories of our stupid mistakes,or would it glorify the just say yes attitude of the late 60ies-70ies??
Ill admit makeing my [more then my]fair share of very,very[did i say very] stupid mistakes.But seeing your old[er] then i ,id be think-in you've got a few to tell from your life too....sooo...Hey Paul, I vote you leader of that thread. I bow down to the master
the scary part was when he came to pick me up after recce reg and said he'd help me load the boxes into Scott's truck because Scott had the STi.You let him drive your new car?! You nutter.
what color is UR STi?I am female, almost 40, race in the dirt and tarmac and am scared to death of my STi. It's a freakin' monster and I know it, thus I treat it with respect and use in within MY abilities.
I did let a 17y/o drive mine from here to Bethel for NEFR, but I also threatened him within an inch of his life AND made him follow me. (I was driving the truck and towing the rally car.)He is also scared of me, so I know he was behaving, and I did let him use it a few times over the weekend unsupervised. But again, he knows I would murder him if he wrecked it. Would I let a kid of mine drive one regularly, HELL NO!
but it does depend on the kid. when I was 19 I wanted to buy my cousins escort gt, my uncle told me it was too powerful and wouldn't let me drive it without my father with me. So I went out and bought a faster car.But I was paying for it and the insurance and I didn't wreck it.
Driver ed should focus some on car control? maybe kids would be more respectful of powerful cars if they could see how quickly things can go wrong, very wrong. Don't know about the rest of you ol farts, but I learned on an icy lake. Nothing to hit, but lots of ice to scare the crap out of you.
when I was looking for my car I really wanted a turbo subaru... Norm's even let me test drive one. It was a blue bugeye WRX I think. With decent miles, and I could afford it. But the insurance!!
When I was in highschool I stopped into a various subaru dealership on the way to a girlfriends house just to look at subarus. I was still driving my cherokee then and didn't know crap about crap about cars back then. The guy there convinced me to test drive a car. They put me in a 1.8 or a 2.0 or something NA auto impreza, and I thought it was hilariously slow. Then the guy let me test drive a wrxwhen I was looking for my car I really wanted a turbo subaru... Norm's even let me test drive one. It was a blue bugeye WRX I think. With decent miles, and I could afford it. But the insurance!!Needless to say, I ended up with my legacy.
