nice, keep it up. i've yet to get pulled over for any driving violations (knock on wood) but i have gotten PLENTY of parking tickets. parking in the city is a B**CH!!.....street sweeper patrol are the scum of the earth!...[:@]

 

I can believe your high insurance payments. When I was 17, I was paying around $260/month for my old 94 Grand Prix.

 

Yeah, it sucks. No tickets and over $3.5k/yr.

 

i cant believe most poeple voted yes![8D]
it doesnt matter your age, its more a matter of IQ

 

IQ + EXPERIENCE......IQ alone wont win you a close game in the 4th quarter. dont underestimate the experience factor dude.

 

+1. I knew an 18yr old kid in high school with a 230HP moddedMaxima and a 130IQ. Crashed it twice in 1 year. Once from racing and another just in regular driving. Bothaccidentshis fault. IQhas nothing to do with it. Driving has to do with experience, reflexes, eyesight, and awareness of your surroundings. I've already avoided a couple accidents by watching people w/o turn signals not look over their shoulder when changing lanes and almost hit me. Thank God I am a very safe driver and always aware of the cars and drivers around me.

 

I'm 18 too, and I'll tell ya, when you have the car under your own name and your paying that insurance yourself, its a great incentive to never speed (I'll never go 5 mph over the limit, except when passing). I couldn't imagine trying to get the money to pay for hiked up insurance just for driving like a jerk

 

you can be stupid in any kind of car, with any amount of power, it is not really a matter of that. you need to make sure you can actually control the car. I learned to drive on this car, and 210hp was a lot already. however, now I can totally handle the f/i no problem. it is all about experience. also, driving in the rain/snow is something that is totally different, so just because you can drive on dry days doesn't mean you can handle it in bad conditions.

 

just drive responsibly and you will be ok

 

OH MY GOD! Your stang looks as mean as hell! Nice!
