I am sorry, but now I
have to say something. I did not take Chad’s comment to mean
that he would not respect newer cars on the road. But, as every old car
lover does, you just notice old cars more and take more care around
them.
And, if we are
talking about maturity, please do not cuss on a public list
group.
Thanks
Brenna

i feel more mature from most kids my age and i do and will respect cars (older
ones - that is).
So
this means you will have no respect for the guys in newer cars riding along
minding their own business? That in fact you may target a new car just
for the fun of it? Target meaning fly up behind one, tailgating, and
whatnot. This shows the immaturity level right here. Let me tell
you one thing Chad. You are SUPPOSED to have courtesy on the road even
though most now do not (at least in NJ). Seems to me that that you are
the type that will take out a hot rod, flog it around and wrap it around a
pole, just like so many did back when these cars were new. The general
pattern I see is that those between the ages of 16-18 are careless behind the
wheel, yes it seems a stereotype, but it's the truth with very few
exceptions. The maturity level is not there, i don't care what opinion
anyone has.
They have bumped up the driving age to 18 in New Jersey
and I am glad they did. I have so many examples of the Young and the
Careless, it's not funny. This is why I did not decide to use my 70
Chevelle as a dailey driver. Every single time I take it out, i get some
little prick come flying up behind me like they are hot s**t and it pisses me
off. Perfect example as when I took it to the track last time. Kid
in a junk Mustang almost lost it going past me and damn near took out the
whole side of the car. Needless to say that kid will never do something
like that again after I got done with him, he's lucky I did not beat the
living crap out of him for it.
One more thing, if someone told me
when I was 16 that kids think it is a right to driver not a privilage like it
is, I would have agreed with it. I still treat a license as a privilage
because for one I would not be able to go to work and make money without it,
and two I would be stuck home all the time depending on others to take me
places, not gonna happen. I have never gotten a speeding ticket, never
had any points, and I plan on keeping it that way. Yes I have been
pulled over by the cops before, about 5 times speeding twice and I was let
go. I became irritaded with driving after 6 months of having my
license.
OK topic closed now back to our regular Chevelle
