Look at it this way...
This is just one more retard off the road for now. This is a lesson in what happens when one attempts to grasp beyond one's reach (or something like that).

I would just like to call mention to my thread about, KIDS AND 370s

A lot of people told me to not let it bother me and to mind my own business... (of coarse there were people that agreed with me)

Then you get kids like this...17 years old, totalling brand new cars... pissed that mommy and daddy wont buy them another car like this... and saying that they have a car that most people would only dream about.


Yes your car is totalled, no your folks wont buy you anything like this ever again, yes the lady is hurt, and yes you will probably be paying her medical bills for years to come... finally, this is now a car that YOU will only be able to dream about.

I hope this kid gets a 1997 2.2L SOHC Sunfire 4D after all this.

Radek, it still doesn't change the fact that calling all 17 yr olds irresponsible is a crass and broad generalization. There are exceptions to every rule, mon ami.

I was thinking that an 88 Hyundai Excel would be appropriate.

I really don't have much I can say to you, being as I took the opposing view of you in that thread.

However, I do have one thing...

...do you think OP would be any less of a failure at life if he had a beat-down celica, or would he just be a poor failure instead of a well-off one? Be honest, now...

Was it the power/speed/whatever of the Z that caused this? I think it would have happened no-matter what the OP was rolling.

Maybe when I get rid of my G20 I can sell it to OP for cheap, lol

Absolutely agree!

I am sure there are some young adults out there that value and respect the car for all it is and wont damage it.

I am sure there are some young adults out there that value and respect the car but because of their inexperience will not be able to keep the car on the road (especially a 300 horse RWD).

but the key word up above is "young adults"... sure 17,18,19,20 etc, one can still be a child at this age, especially if coddled by his/her parents...in which case we have an individual as our friend who posted this thread.

he is a kid if he tells someone "yo that part is worth more than your house".

But ultimately I agree that generalizing is something to avoid =)

In fact, in that age range, the same individual may be mature/immature depending on the day, their mood, and the situation.

I did some really stupid things in cars in that age range, and while my first cars weren't expensive, they were sporty cars. I survived, and I learned to respect performance cars. Could have hurt myself though. Plenty of close calls

No doubt. I've somehow worked through a 700 horse s2000 (at 20!) and a 500 horse civic (at 18!) without a single accident.

Of course, all this came on my own dime, so maybe that is part of the difference.

LOL... nicely worded

Honestly, I think that the type of car may have had some influence, maybe he was goofin around in the car, speeding or changing lanes pretending he was in "Days of Thunder"... no one knows what happened other than him.

If he was in a old beat down family sedan, maybe he would have had his pride kicked to the curb and not wanted to show off?

I really do not know, but when a "kid" gets in a car accident, its usually "never their fault"

But this is all only my opinion, respect all points of view on the matter
