Re: i already said, come watch me
speednsound007,
When your finally get what is surely comming to you, then we will not have to say anything else.
70MPH on a wet road, all 4 wheels skidding, and you were in control? Cars skid straight, when you start turning the wheel is when they go out in different direction. If you feel because the car went straight you were in control, you're wrong.
You are NOT better than 95% of other drivers and I would be happy to prove my point. If you lived in the NYC area would have given you a run.
You kids feel because you can go over 100 MPH in a straight line that you're the best thing ever put behind a steering wheel. Are you one of those fools who weave in and out of lanes constantly to let others know thats you're stupid? You drive in straight lines, you are nothing. You know nothing about performance and handling of a car. I've driven in gaithersburg before. I rented an altima and a stratus and drove there, the roads there are pathetic. NOTHING BUT STRAIGHT LINES. "Looks at me..i'm going 165mph..all i have to do is hold the wheel still, i'm tha best".
Go to a track and get some real driving done. Stop putting people's lives in danger. Nothing really cares if you hurt yourself, because you're attitude is simply pathetic, but don't endanger our sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers, and our children.

BTW- Yes, I had a Turbo RX-7 in high school (which is was faster than the cars that most of my friends wrecked). I didn't drive double the speed limit in the rain. It's called being smart, it's not a matter of skill. If you want to "have fun" go to an autocross or a track day.

And your reference here makes no sense..most of the 4 lane roads around here are 65-70 mph anyway and most know that there is a safety cushion built into any speed limit so whats the point but I think you mean 35 on a 2 lane country road perhaps?
But still...foolish..incredibly so, and I very much doubt you'd EVER find a PROFESSIONAL driver, one with YEARS of experience trying the same unless it's a practiced, closed road. That's because he values HIS life, and those others on the road. Again, the difference between maturity and immaturity. JUST TO TAKE THAT RISK shows your immaturity.
There is no way you can win on this one with anyone, accepting that would be the mature thing to do.
It's downright ludicrous that you would drive as such, no one wants to hear it and you are just wasting energy that you could put elsewhere by attempting to get a video of it. It's Christmas..why not be a bellringer for Salvation Army for a couple nights instead?

The more you discuss this and tell him how he's not a good driver, the more he'll want to prove that he is. This is where he'll kill someone or himself (hopefully himself). Leave him alone and he'll see the light sooner or later. I mean headlights, when they're comming at him head on.

When I was your age, I thought I was the shiznits too. And it wasn't that long ago either... but the simple fact is, you're 16. You have less than one year of on the road experience. If you had said, "I've been racing different SCCA cars and classes since I was 6...", I might think about believe you and your skills. This is like one of those things your parents tell you, "You won't appreciate it till your older", or, "You'll understand when you're my age". In 5 years, your perception of yourself right now is going to be that you were lucky, stupid, naive, reckless, and lucky. You can tell me I'm a flamer all you want, but I think most folk would agree with me.
Have I done stupid things in a car? Yes. Thankfully I've never hurt anyone, myself included. Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky. So far, you have been....
Oh, and if you're "good enough" to be doing 4wheel slides @ 70mph in a 35mph zone, I've got a question for you and your mad skills.
What do you do when as you slide around the corner, you realize my mother is pulling out in front of you to make a left hand turn because she made a mistake and misjudged your speed? What if it is YOUR mother instead.
Driving on public roads is not the place to test your skills. To sometimes in the case of emergency only, yes, put them to use for avoidance, etc. Because the hardest part about driving on the road is not keeping yourself from making a mistake- it's keeping yourself safe from everybody elses. All public driving should be done defensively for that reason.
I'm not trying to be a killjoy man. But keep it on the track. Where it's safe(r), and a controlled enviroment.
And I sure hope your lucky streak continues on till after your naiveity wears off.

speednsound, You need to take what Jason said VERY seriously. Right now you THINK you're a good driver. that's inexperience and age and the "I'm younger and faster" talking. You have no clue what it's really like.
When I was 16, my mom lived 20 miles out of town, down 10 miles of twisty roads. I used to think I was a bada$$ because I could drive those gravel roads at 80 in my little mitsu mini truck.. Now that I drive them all the time in a car that can physically handle TWICE as well as that truck, I realize how stupid and out of control I was. going 40mph slower on the same road, I was still unable to stop in time to miss a squirrel that was running across the road. Had that been a deer, my car would have been totalled.
Had that happened in my truck, the squirrel would have caused me to lose control and slam the truck into a tree on the side of the road. Had it been a deer, I would have been dead even quicker. if the deer itself landing in my lap didn't kill me, plowing into a tree at 80 because my front wheels were destroyed from the deer WOULD have killed me.
I'll even venture to guess you're one of the people who don't weir their seatbelt because you think "I'm a good driver. It'll never happen to me."
Well guess what? it DOES. my grandmother has now been in a wreck in over 50 years until a month ago. some dumbsh!t kid came around a corner too fast, where the car in front of her was waiting to turn left. the kid locked his brakes and slid past both cars completely sideways, then hit a car in the oncoming lane... the car then was knocked off the front of the oncoming car BACK into the lane where my grandmother and the left-turn car were. it totalled 3 cars, messed up my grandmother's pretty bad. It killed the person trying to turn left AND a small child in the oncoming vehicle, and put two other people in the hospital for a few days.
the kid who caused the wreck walked away with bumps and bruises. He was also 16. he said "I drive these roads every day, and there's NEVER anyone on that corner. I've always driven that fast and I thought I was a good enough driver that I could avoid anything that would have cause a wreck there."
Well guess what? That 16 yr old boy is now being tried for 2 counts of vehicular manslaughter, and 5 counts of reckless endangerment and 5 more counts of attempted vehicular manslaughter.
He's going to spend the next 20-30 years of his life in jail because he THOUGHT he was a good driver.
Good day, and think about what you're doing.
