16 is too young to drive, let alone in a sports car. Nothing against you personally, but kids that your age are terrible drivers and make even more terrible decisions. You remind me of this kid on Long Island. His name Joseph Beer and his parents got him a shiny WRX once. I wasn't going to comment, but you're obviously trolling a bit. Just hope you make an effort to drive responsibly. For your sake and those around you.

Tell that to Max Verstappen. You know, the 17 year old F1 driver who is winning F1 Championship points this year.

Age has nothing to do with driving skill. When I was growing up a friend of mine was running quarter midgets when he was 12. He could handle a car very well. The flip side is the ability to make good decisions, you know, maturity. It's all about making good decisions. You can be a mediocre driver yet make great decisions, resulting in a great driver. My wife being an example.

Not sure how mature I am at 58.

jpkirk, im sure he had extensive training, spent his time practicing instead of posting things on a forum trying to seek attention.

I think that's the exception, not the rule.

Something tells me the OP isn't a 16yo racing prodigy.

Lol,Ya I can see that! At the end of the day,I hope everyone just realizes that he's just a 16 year old kid that didn't know what he was in for when he started this thread.

Driving skill doesn't really translate on the street anyway. Sure it's nice to have the skills to make an accident-avoiding maneuver that most average drivers could not make. However, it's the constant decisions made while driving among other people on public roads that determines how safe a driver one is. Safe drivers rarely make bad decisions and frequently make good ones. Don't pick up your phone; don't do your makeup; don't read $hit; check your mirrors often; know your route before you get in the car; don't react to that aggressive driver; be polite to other drivers; all of these things work towards a safer and friendlier road environment.

Age can play into it quite a bit, but it's more about experience. The more experience you have on the road practicing safe driving habits, the safer driver you are

When I was 16, I was mainly concerned with touching as many boobs as possible.

kenchan · 04-14-2015, 10:56 AM

also buying a condom.. that was so embarrassing!

image you line up choosing an older woman clerk..then while waiting in line, a girl classmate takes over the cashier?

and all you have is that one box in your hand?

things were so simple at age 16..
