It's called life and growing up and you are right, they do have just cause to stereotype you. Just look at Rebel and TonyMontana. :bored:

I never got any comments like that when I was 16? Do you drive crazy or something? Race a lot? Talk shit a lot?

I get jumped on a lot, not because they think I'm a bad driver (I have, in fact had one minor fender bender, and one speeding ticket. I have learned my lesson in both cases) but they say "Your Camaro is a five speed (wrong) and you're 19. I don't think you have the skill to drive it fast (wrong again)" I am damn good at shifting my car. I just practice aaaallllll the damn time. I can outdrive all of my friends, even the guys who are 24+ and have driven sticks all their lives. THAT'S what gets ME riled up.

Why is it that most adults assume that I can't handle my car? The first comment upon seeing my car are usually: "nice car" followed by "how many tickets" and my favorite "how many wrecks have you been in." I know that they have just cause for they're comments, but being stereo-typed as a fast and the furious wanna be every where I go wears on my nerves. The other day while taking my girlfriend out to eat, a fine patron of the stop light I'm at yells out, "Your going to kill your self in that thing." All the while he is on his cell phone, and was driving with one hand on the wheel, and his kid standing up in the back seat. Oh well, so is life for a stereo-typical seveteen year old. Ah, I fell better now. -John

dont take what they have to say for anything unless you have been doing something stupid. it just shows the kind of person they are....so i dont let it get to me. just say thanks to the people who say nice car and give the little kid in the window a thumbs up when he waves :thumbsup: i like that more than anything...the little (5 or 6) year old kid who waves or gives a thumbsup
I had a little kid sitting in the front seat of a SUV giving my car the look over and pointing at me so his mom could see. I got up right next to him, smilied then dropped it into 1st off of redline from 30 spun em into second and kept going. I slowed back down and the kid was all smiles giving me both thumbs up!!! It made my day.Originally posted by TwoValveKid
