Honestly, the TCS does allow a decent amount of wheel-spin before becoming too intrusive. I just tend to leave mine on and I would certainly recommend a 17-yr-old to do the same.

Your cars a dud trade it in, I've only ever driven supercharged mustangs but with the skinny tires these cars come with its like driving on snow most of the time.

I wouldn't call him defective. Every car/motorcycle I've had (and all of you too I'm sure) has had it's good and bad days. Some days they've seemed a little bogged down and others they've had a little extra pep than normal. On good days I could do sick smokey burnouts in my pickups and SUV's and the next day you could barely chirp the tires (even with similiar weather and road conditions)

If you guys thought he was 47 instead of 17 you would actually be working with him and discussing his post instead of bashing him for having a bit of fun.

Maybe, maybe not.

There are some general assumptions - based on things such as the length of driving experience and the amount of life experience in general - that can be made about drivers at those two stages in their driving career. The first is about the driving, and the second one is more about how and what you say or don't say about it later.

I would expect the 47 y/o Mustang driver to have a little more familiarity with noticing road conditions that can affect grip, or the combinations of cornering + throttle that are at the limits. You do have to figure that he has made it to 47 because of (or in some cases in spite of) certain driving incidents. The average 17 y/o generally does not have this behind him. You don't know what you don't know.

Truth be told, I wouldn't expect a 47 y/o to have started a topic in quite the way this one did.


robs - I never said that I had "grown up". But I'm a lot pickier about where, when, and what I do than I was at 17 when ten minutes into the future was too long of a time to even think about, let alone worry about. It's enough for me to know whatever I might still be "getting away with", without wearing it on my sleeve.

Good way to put it Norm. It took the birth of my daughter 2+ years ago to fully realize that discretion truly is the better part of valor. I have since sold my motorcycles and drive much more sensibly than in years past.

That being said, when the time/locale are right... I'm more than happy to let the horses run!
