If they have the money, and are of legal age, there is nothing you can do about it. Other than tell them to get off your lawn, I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do something wrong, you pay the price regardless of age or financial status. He was saying 16 year olds shouldn’t drive, and 18 year olds shouldn’t have expensive sports cars. What if they earned it? Who should tell them how they can spend it? He didn’t think paying these football players was a good idea, but in other sports they can have enormous contracts. The best 18 year old golfer or tennis can make millions without any questions. . Edited March 2, 2023 by Augie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT is adrenaline rush! We always used to say that it was the most fun you could have with your clothes on. LOL I passed my bros going back to Vegas across the Hoover dam and ended up getting a chopper lift to a hospital. I wish I could take that stupidity back.

Sherlock Holmes Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Augie said: Funny you say that! I probably just had my permit at the time, and the head of traffic for Amherst told my class they will never pull you over for less than 10 over. In 30 some years he’d only seen it twice, and both times they just wanted to pull them over for any old reason. Is that wise to tell a bunch of 16 year old kids? I was a bit over 75, and it was a bit under 65. But it was wide, empty streets with 5 lanes. That’s all you’ll get out of me! Wow, well when we moved to Allegany we were going through Franklinville (RT 16) ...GPS said 35 mph limit so that's what I'm going, so when I get pulled over I ask the bastard what the speed limit was. He says oh it's 30 mph and writes me a ticket as I show him the GPS and explain to him we literally are driving to our new house and don't the area, also brought up the lack of speed limit signs...that B word says "welcome to town and next time slow down"...

Mr. WEO Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 21 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: I have done it and know about 100 people that have done it....several times. Boys get competitive and adrenaline, you'll have a guy trying to pass you in the other lane....hit the gas and talk trash with the windows down to your buddy in the next car. We did it heading home from college probably every time. The roads on the state lines between Alabama and Georgia are usually empty....long country roads. We would hit stretches of 100 mph. This is 20 year old thinking that you're invincible. This is why when I hear stories about this, even as bad as it is, I get more heartbroken than angry. Someone died that shouldn't and someone made a terrible a mistake. A mistake I've made and several others but we were lucky. I obviously don't do it anymore, people (most) mature and understand reality. 20 year old make stupid mistakes because they don't understand the reality yet. 10 hours ago, 3rdand12 said: Do you all know what a Jeep Trackhawk is is exactly ?Much less how much they cost. vs a ford expedition. This kids was driving a super SUV with 700HP if not modified. they get to 1100HP with a tune. No one was going to come close to keeping up. not even Lambos etc Kids being kids ? With 100k car vs a 250 horse car with NO handling or braking upgrades is inviting disaster. He should never have pushed the "Hey lets Race" button knowing what might happen to the expedition. Trackhawk, how does a kid get one of these. any body die ? Plus he had to know his friend driving the Explorer was tanked. Plus he lied to the cops about everything afterwards. Plus he left the scene of the accident. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say I feel for them, I don't mean they should get away with this. Nothing has changed with kids and their stupid driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid and sad. my thought also. 1. it stupid to race cars that could be raced (Nissan Z, etc.); and 2. racing an Expedition and a Trailhawk is just asking for additional trouble. if you want to race cars, go to a track. A public street is not the place for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A public street is not the place for that. Exactly. I have an M240, its fast as hell. I've never raced anybody on the streets in 5 years of owning it. I have, however, took it up to 120 on the highway during the day without another car in sight (thank you 990). It could have easily kept going, but that was plenty enough for me on a public highway.

Two people were killed. Btw, did those deceased happen to be black? The entire incident is horrible and regrettable regardless of color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the meme and the sentence you typed other buttons I would have clicked if multiple buttons were allowed: Lombardi button Thumbs up button Beer mug button Checkmark button Not bad for a Pats fan button And probably more.

If only we could relay that to those Damned Kids that some risks have different values than others. and can affect the innocent of even semi innocent. what irks me that this is a misdemeanor charge when someone was killed. And i am not sure the kid who lied about what happened has learned anything at all. 5 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Plus he had to know his friend driving the Explorer was tanked.
