yeah haha, definatly not! i've taken care of that long time ago
91 are 21-24 wow....
38 are 17-20...
I wish I had a really nice turbo car when I was a teenager. But my parents were smart and got me something kinda slow.... a plymouth. lol At least I didnt try to race anyone, i can only imagine some of you guys on the road around here. As a parent, I'd have to say that when my son gets to be a teen, I'm giving him something embarrassing and slow, that way I wont get a phone call late at night saying "mom... I just wrapped my MSP around a tree and I have a broken leg.. oh wait... hold on, the cop wants to talk to you...." lol

You older people always think that we drive wreckless all the time..........when in reality we dont do it all the time just to show off duh! haha no but seriously.........I got my 2 tickets and slowed down......i wasnt going anything to rediculous, one was jsut a stop light, which was still yellow. The other was 84 in a 65 which was with the flow of traffic ont eh masspike......But I really hate all the posts saying "Oh he's young, he must drive reckless all the time, and hes got a flashy car, his parents must be stupid." thats is just dumb, not everyone is the same.

23 this year.
My brother had a Mustang that my parents helped him purchase at 18. My dad thought it was probably a bad idea, my mom on the other hand said "oh let him get what he wants... he's responsible, he'll be fine."
He totalled the car. Not only totalled it, it flipped over a few times, only came to a stop when it hit a light pole, which broke in half and landed on top of the car, which also caught on fire. The only thing left of the car was the rear view mirror. My brother was in the ICU in a coma, with a 50/50 chance of pulling through. When he got out of the coma a few days after the accident, the first words that came out of his mouth were...
"how's my car?" ......
lol
I have pictures of the accident, but no scanner to download them. I'll probably just be lazy and take a pic with the camera of the pictures, then download them. Cheesy, but oh well, at least it'll work.

might i ask what he was doing to total the car? i get alot of s*** for totalling my mp3 even though it wasnt my fault
.Well, he was racing a friend in his Fiero at night, after a rain on a two lane residential street. They started to slow down when a car backed out of their drive on a blind area of the street. They never saw him. He swirved out of the way to avoid a collision and the car locked up, then started to flip over and over. I'll probably put up a thread about it once I get the pictures up. It was an old accident. Hell, one of my earlier accidents when I was about 24, was a teenage girl that was driving her 3rd car that she had just wrecked the month before. She said "oh my gosh, this is like my third accident, my dad is going to KILL me. Do you have a cigarrette on you, because my nerves are shot!?" Third accident and you want a cigarrette at 16 years old??!!! Yeah, ok.
And I dont believe that all teenagers are bad drivers. Just the majority of them. If they weren't, the insurance rates for them wouldn't be as high as they are. Most of the fatalities in this state are teenagers. Not that they're always speeding or careless and wreckless, just less experienced and sometimes of course, drunk. And the majority of cars they wreck are either modded, turbo or an SUV. My son will probably end up with a Yugo. lol
And I DO believe that there are a handful of young drivers that can possibly be trusted to have an MSP and drive it responsibly. But I would still never get this car for my own kid at 16 or 18. Maybe at 21. But no younger than that. Let him screw up a few other cars before that, but these cars shouldn't be beaten on, ragged out or curbed every few days. Maybe it'd be ok to get him a Honda. lol

i'd like to see the stats for modified vs turbo vs SUV crash rates in regard to teens... obviously teenagers have a higher percentage of accidents (that goes almost without saying) but there is more that goes into it, i'd like to see the statistics of FATAL accidents in regard to age, because older people are less likely to get into the small fender benders that happen do to lack of experience behind the wheel, of which teenagers are notorious for, which would also sky rocket their statistics for accidents over-all...
laracroft said:
please dont generalize all young people because you believe that only a handful of them are fit to drive a modified car, i have owned a few cars that i modified and have been in ZERO accidents with any of them, i paid for all of them (including my MSP, still paying for actually), and have paid for the insurance on all of them, i have MANY friends who have done the same, just because you know a couple privileged individuals who get everything handed to them does NOT mean you should put a label on every teen you see, many of us are very hard working individuals who earn almost everything we have, personally i've been working since i was 13, even longer if you count mowing yards, which has afforded me the luxury of buying things that i want... and on the other hand, i have friends who did have everything handed to them, and they are also very responsible people regardless of how much they had to work for their posessions...
