a) duh b) what about the 5th kid who crashes without a car? |
I see the issue with teen accidents as this; when i was a kid you bought your own car, got a job, bought a piece of ****, worked on it, upgraded it, etc. etc... you didn't want to get in an accident with that fucker because you'd be without a car and thus without vagina. Two of the worst things a highschool kid can be faced with. NOW mommy and daddy buys the kid a car, usually something newer and in decent shape and the kid has no concept of what it costs to own, maintain and in some cases even insure the car.

Yeah I'd agree with that... Especially when you hear some kid whining how he has to drive his Dad's old POS Escalade..
My first vehicle was a written off Dodge Ramcharger that I resurrected from the dead... No vehicle meant bus pass or school bus, not cool at all.. It is the age of entitlement, be it kids, hollywood schmucks or politicians.. |
81 Buick Regal, paid $1000 for it, only had 36000 miles on it and was still a pile of ****. 3.8 litre v6, 0-60 in 4 hours 60-100 in 2 seconds, no low end on that thing. Repainted it, replaced the valve cover gaskets and sold it for $3800, bought my 84 CJ-7 that I owned for the next 10 years.

You can only rock a regal if you have a mullet.

Painted it black, tinted the windows, sold it to a hispanic young man https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif |
I didn't get my license until I was 17. I had the extra car but wasn't allowed to drive to school unless I had a job or played a sport that required me to stay late. I had to take the bus if I wasn't involved in something. I had a 88 Mazda MX-6. I love that car, I took the best care of that old thing. It was a sad day when I was hit in it, but it wasn't my fault. My son is getting the old Honda when he turns 17, not daddy's sports car.

I'm actually surprised it's ONLY 1 in 4, I figured it would be something like 3 in 4.
Didn't get my license until I was 18. I dragged an old POS motorcycle out from under some guy's deck, said if I could get it running I would buy it from him. $1,000 later I got it running, and he just gave it to me. My first car was the gold FC, which my wife bought for me, haha. |
lmao my first car was also a gold FC, it looked the same the day i sold it as the day i bought it, but it just smoked a lot more....
knowing what i know now, the thermal pellet died (or was dead), i should have kept it, non sunroof, low mileage... its funny the current GXL is actually lower mileage, total deja vu... thermal pellet works in this one |
My Dad gave a guy he worked with $500 bucks for my first car--a '73 RX-2 4-door with 58k on it. Motor was replaced by Mazda under a class action lawsuit. The motor only had about 15k on it when I got it. I drove that thing for 5 years and sold it for $425.
