well either way no one is doubting wanting to drive a c6 z06 at 18 would be
a dream, but driving like a complete idiot and going way beyond your own
abilities is what seperates some of us
I dont know this kid. I live in Oz. And I WASN'T reading thru this thinking "awwww, why dont dose mean boys weve him awone. It wasn't his fault....."
What I am saying, is that everyone seems to forget that we were all once young and stupid and invincible. Some of us back then would be responsible and if we WERE to drive that sweet ride, would respect it every inch of the way. Others might just want to 'taste' a little of what she had to offer. If you are to have me believe you would get in your mum/dads new $70,000 Vette and just cruise around the streets never going about 4000rpm, I wouldn't believe you. We dont know if this kid was driving like an idiot or if he had a moment where it just got away from him. Shit happens.
Once again, I'm not saying give this guy a break. Some of you need to come down from whatever cloud your on and remember that as kids we think very differently to now..........
eg.... I use to drive round with my 12 inch boxed subs booming all the time. Now, that shits me when cars do it. I want to stab them in their temples with a blunt spoon! But that's just me
