"pay for everything but insurance" - enough said, obviously you can't afford to drive. As Rodney Dangerfield once said "Now I know why Tigers eat their young". 5 tickets! I am 42 and haven't had a total of 5 tickets in my life. Do us all a favor and don't drive outside of Florida.

I think his parents are trying to kill him. The GT didn't have enough power to do the job so now they're moving onto a GT500.

I'm 29. I've been street racing religiously since I was about 20, and I've only gotten two moving violations unrelated to that. It's all about the right time and place. With 5 tickets, it's obvious you lack the ability to judge the right time and place to enjoy your car.

Corolla time.

I agree, and this poor kid should have his DL taken away, at least until he can grow up mentally and understand the value of responsibility.

As for the street racing part, I cannot say that I have. But I do admit that I have stepped on it on a clear, straight, and open back road where noone else but I am driving on.
Is it legal? No, but at least I was not doing anything that endangered me such as doing 115 in a 70. There is a reason why 70 is the speed limit, even if noone esle is around: The turns and curves in the road are sharp enough that going 115 on such a turn would cause you to slip off the road like hot butter off your butter knife. Even if you do not hurt someone else, you are sure to kill yourself as you come to a sudden stop from hitting a tree. Or as your car tumbles like 20 times and lands turned turtle and crushes you like a tomato.
