Ok bro, let me tell you something. Its not as cool as you think to rag on a vehicle and spin the tires. There is a time and a place for that! Before you seriously **** up and hit a telephone pole, i would slow down. Do you ever notice that the faster you go, the closer those telephones get together and the harder it would be to miss one if you lose control. Ive lost quite a few friends that way. 16 and driving a bmw m3 or camaro ss for a first vehicle. I bet those parents regret buying them those cars for their first vehicles. Thats not even including all the friends that have got into both serious crashes or fender benders because of being stupid and trying to show off. Its not worth it man. You have too much life ahead of you to throw it all away cause your in a hurry to haul ***. Your time will come! You just need to get some experience under your belt before you start doing what your doing. Then there is always the possibility that its not you that gets hurt but the minivan with the parents and kids coming home from soccer practice. Im only 20 and i have seen alot of accidents in my time with alot of friends. I just dont want to see anyone else go through what they did and for the ones that didnt make it, i dont want you to end up like that. I would say i have a pretty good head on my shoulders for my age. I just hope you actually read what people are saying on here and slow down before someone gets hurt.

, or what?
, or what?No they do that because the OEM tires are not rated to handle higher speeds than that consistantly.
Dude with an attitude like yours you are going to kill youself so quick. I don't want to say the world would be a better place were that to happen, but it is people like you that make my insurance so high....

No ****! Im paying 220 a month with nothing on my record and under my parents name so its cheaper. It would be like 340+ a month in my own name. Why.... because of imature kids that do what hes doing and give the younger crowd a bad rap. No wonder why the insurance prices dont drop till 25 yrs old.
I hope more people let this kid know whats up before he learns the hard way or kills someone from driving like that. With his attitude, he shouldnt be driving anything besides his nikes!!
Not trying to be a dick but its true!

Theres no way im driving one of them ricer cars! , but seriously thanks for the advice, oh yeah where I live everybody drives like a dumbass,there are so many mexicans here with there little $500 cars always trying to race my dad, especially my mom. every time she pulls up to one of those in a red light with her escalade they stare at her rev up their cars and off they go with their big *** mexican hats on and everything. And if you think im a dumbass you should check out all the kids that drive to my school, now they are dumbasses. And I know this sounds stupid but I have been driving for three years now and feel pretty capable of driving. But I know I still need more expirience. again, thanks for the advice

Man, I know plenty of people that are pretty good drivers for their age that have gotten into some pretty bad wrecks. People aggravate me about the way I drive in city traffic and I realize that they're right and I get aggressive at times. I'm 20 so yeah I know the age group and how I drive and how my friends drive and the mentality of a teenager. This also makes me understand why insurance rates are so damn high for the 16-25 age group; guys especially. Be careful and pay attention; I know the feeling of thinking you're a good driver but it don't take much to seriously f*ck things up at speed because you're reaction times are nowhere as good as you might think.
