Angry VR R1 soon to go down the drain

I was talking to my friend. She told me her boss just bought his 15 year old son a VR R1. He is going to be getting his license within a few months.

Lovely, isn't it?

I'll keep my eyes open for the "salvage titled" car on ebay in the next few months. such a shame, because an FD is a terrible thing to waste!

true but at the same time there are a **** load of older drivers probably more in number but not in % that don't deserve them. you should treat each one individually, but **** if he does **** it up you can say i told u so :p

im talking about you guys' reactions.

i know about 16 year olds that drive cars that will absolutely rip a stock or even moderately modded FD a new *******. im talking about Vipers, 3.2 liter NSXs, 10 second F-Bodies, Porsche 911, McLeran F1 (his dad's), Ferrari 355, 360, and F50 (once again, his dad's. he is a Ferrari collector and owns a little mom 'n pop computer company named Cisco Systems)...all driven by 16 year olds. not one accident by any of them.

i have said it numerous times before, and i will say it again: fast cars do not kill people....irresponsible drivers kill people.

Hey, im 16 and I have an FD R1. I don't know that much about Rotaries and I wouldn't call myself and incredible driver, but I did not take it from my dad for my birthday or anything, I worked very hard to afford it so I think if I want one, and I maintain it properly, its nobodies business which car I choose to buy but hey,I almost bought a 1998 Corvette Z06, so I consider the FD pretty tame

also, aside from from crazy fast cars, i know of 16/17 year olds that drive cars that the average person cannot afford. cars like 2001 CL600 (Brabus body kit, rims, and exhaust system), SL500, numerous Benz S-Classes, GS400, and Porsche Boxter. all these cars have more than enough power to get the driver into **** loads of trouble, and all cost a heafty sum of money, but there has been not one accident (well, a small fender-bender involving the SL500, but she got rear ended, so not her fault).

but then again...i know of 16 year old that have driven base, non-vtec Civics, Saturns, and Geos, and had them totaled.

and Mike, you are the one talking about supposedly immature drivers, when you are the one bragging about how you reach 100+ MPH speeds daily in your FD.

also, you wouldnt consider an FD a "fast" car would you?? i mean...half the time, it will only be running on one turbo and/or one rotor!
