I am 23, and a college graduate with a grown-up job, so I tend to think I am reasonably mature. When I was 16, I behaved just like you did. I have wasted more than $10k by being a jackass and destroying cars (engine, trans, suspension) by driving too fast. I promise you are not as skilled as you think.

I also think your parents are complete morons for letting an unlicensed driver tool around in their vehicles. I don't think the insurance company will pay when you screw up and smash something. When you are the one cutting that monthly payment and insurance check, I promise that you will think twice.

I make a lot of money, but I don't make enough money to be stupid and **** my car up. Your time would be better spent going to driver's ed and driving a ford escort.

I've always prided myself on being an incredibly safe driver. I've never gotten a single ticket, or even been pulled over, never did stupid crap like weave through traffic or seriously speed, then one day i hit a wet spot in the road and just like that the car in my sig was gone. Can happen to anyone, and believe me, your insurance doesn't need it.

Default *** Helmet

I tell ya if my boy was beating on my truck he better have a *** helmet to keep from having my foot stuck in his ***. one word of advice, get a job ,grow up, and when you have worked along time buy your own truck...and hopefully your son will treat YOUR truck with respect.

Are we still beating this guy up?? He must be a bloody stump by now
We all did it when we were young, well most of us anyway.
I actualy appologized to my dad once for being such a dumb *** when I first got my license. I help him fix what ever he needs now out of sheer respect and guilt from all the crap me and my bro's busted driving his stuff.
One boy is bad enough but he had three to deal with driving his stuff!!!

I am not going to add to the beating much. All I want to say is that I think every kid should have some part in purchasing their first vehicle. By that I mean FORKING UP SOME OR ALL OF THE $$ TO GET IT. The only thing my Dad for me was to co-sign for my first truck. My baby ('00 SBSC 4.3 5spd totally built) and another 15 yr old who was drinking, believe it or not, nailed me and shattered my 2 day old roll pan and about 6 hundred bucks of custom smooth body work. I couldnt believe it. Nowadays I have built another truck which is even nicer and may the good lord help whoever runs into me for something stupid. I am in no way saying that you drink along with all of the other craziness but, it just goes to show you that it may not be your fault when or if the terrible day comes and you get in a wreck. If you are caught driving while you are 15 and in an accident it will a very bad day for you to say the least. Think about it, Mom or Dad will be out a vehicle, you will possibly be busted up or worse, then come all of the legal things. ITS NOT WORTH IT!!! Just at least try to drive like a grown up if you are trying so fast to grow up. Take it easy man.

-We are not all trying to bash you, just looking out- None of us want to hear news about someone getting hurt. Be careful out there big guy.

I think that boys should not be licensed to drive until they reach 35, maybe 40, years old. The world would be a better place.
