My first car? was a 1953 Jeep CJ3B with full military mudders, 3 speed trans and 2 speed transfer case. When my friends with the 'Vettes, 'Cudas, and Mustangs would challenge me to a race I never refused, just insisted that I pick the day and road. Only 2 choices for road depending on time of year winter: UP the steepest hill in town during a snowstorm summer: Slaughtering Grounds trail between Lock Haven and Renovo PA. Guaranteed to remove all side paint and undercarriage projections on anything with less than 8" of ground clearance. Even had to paint the Jeep after one trip in the early summer when the trees removed the majority of paint from the sides. First real car was a '73 Datsun 240Z which I wish I had never sold.(sigh) but needed that 2002 back seat for child number 1 C -- Carey Probst '99M3 daily driver '86 325 track toy, cammed, chipped, swayed A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:32:19 -0500 From: "Jason Kay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Matt Bader" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com Subject: Re: To be young and stupid Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *snip* > What's the name for Jason's next car, "Thumper"?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >...fortunately I learned how to handle that 88 Hp before I was able to >afford anything faster. I think that is the crux of it all... With today's 'keeping up with the Jones'' attitude, new/young drivers find themselves the pilot of some serious power. A parent at work has a 17 yr old son who toasted the clutch and *warped* the flywheel of a WRX with 35k miles on it. His quote? "I was able to keep up with my friend's M3 with Launch Control until about 3rd gear." I asked said parent about their son's driving safety and the parent responded "He drives safely because I watch him like a hawk when I'm in the car." Egad. Now for the 'in my day' thing... I drove a 1986 Pontiac Parisienne station wagon with plastic wood siding. Not exactly awe-inspiring but nevertheless a fun vehicle in which to learn oversteer. I think Conforti could make some bux by offering detuned Shark injectors; cut a 225HP 325i down to about 125HP to have a great handling car that would take effort to abuse. Andy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THAT is EXACTLY why kids get killed in cars! It isn't how they behave behind the wheel when they know they are being observed, it is more how they behave when they think that they are not. A couple of years ago when my oldest of 3 daughters was approaching driving age, kids around our area (Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC) had a bad run of luck driving. For a number of weeks in a row, there was at least one fatal accident involving teenage drivers each weekend, with most weekends two. Some were attributed to street racing, some were never explained. All of the parents of the street racers said the same thing, that Jim Jr was a very responsible kid, popular, got good grades, blah blah blah. They didn't have an answer as to why a 17 year old was driving a 300 + HP late model Toyota Supra with $10k of aftermarket speed equipment installed. Or why little Carlos had a hopped up Camaro at the ripe old age of 16. The weekend before Homecoming, an accident involved two kids from Blake High School, where my daughter attended. They were kids that she knew on a boring road less than a mile from the school. The girl passenger did not survive. Naturally, everyone was pretty upset and there was a special ceremony with the Pom Squad at half time of the homecoming football game the following weekend, as the girl was a member. The mood was somber to say the least. A couple of weeks later, I was driving my kids to school when a kid in a 'hot' hatchback tried to make a quick move around me before his lane ended. He wasn't quick enough and only managed to pull alongside as he ran out of pavement and backed off. I had no place to go so I just watched the mirrors to see what he did. My kids were all watching too. Afterwards I said to them, "I wonder what he thought was going to happen" as he had ample indication that his car wasn't quick enough to get past me in time without some serious help from me. It struck me that he would have never tried that stunt under adult supervision. A solution began to come together. At the Homecoming Game, the high school Booster Club sold license plate frames with the school name on them for kids and parents to show their support. My idea would be to combine that with a "How's my driving" campaign, whereby parents could call a number at the school or go to a location on the school's website to report on the driving habits of cars with the school plate frames on them. Something like, "I saw a blue Honda Accord going 75 mph on Layhill Road near the golf course at 7:15 am Wednesday morning." Parents of student drivers could monitor the database to see if there kids are behaving when they are by themselves in the car. A secondary benefit to this program would be that the parents of kids that drive with the frames on their car will have to tone down their own driving, lest THEY appear in the database themselves. "Say, Dad, weren't you driving the Honda Wednesday morning?" Because for better or worse, our kids are learning from us all the time, not just when we want them to. If you drive fast, they will drive fast, etc. They just don't have the experience to handle an unexpected situation, or to know when to slow down. All we are trying to do is get them enough experience under their belt before their luck runs out on the road. So my daughter took her ten year old Saturn automatic to the BMW Club Highway Safety School at Summit Point Raceway just a few months after getting her license. So far, so good. She will need a few more schools before I allow her behind the wheel of any of the high performance exotics in the garage. I learned to drive a VW Beetle back in the 70s, but my first car was a Ford LTD sedan with a 400 cid V8 (my mom's old car). It was blindingly fast and cornered like it was on ice. Maybe my parents didn't like me very much... I actually learned to drive quickly when I bought a first generation RX-7 (my only new car ever) after dozens of high performance driving schools.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Matt Murray: > I'll admit to being a stupid (stoooopid?) adult (things have > not changed much in 30 years). :^) Things have changes quite a bit in the power department. I heard a kid with a new M3 say that he felt sorry for the kids who don't have two guilty parents who work long hours since the kids with stay at home Mom's usually end up driving crappy old Volvo or MBZ wagons. When I got my learners permit just under 30 years half the kids had cars with less than 75hp while today the new Honda minivan has more power than the first M5 and almost as much power as the first Acrua NSX "Supercar"...
