Spot on with that dude, funny how that works... i hardly ever thrash the skyline... the other cars i have had, like el cheapo bunky's get hammered... i think its the lack of respect for lower priced vehichles... i dunno!!
Have you ever asked a coppa why he pulled you over?... try it and see what they say, if they are honest, you will find your answer is almost exactly that!
Interesting... i come from an well below comfortable family... poor if you like... and alot of people i know have had to tgeach themselves to drive, or get help from older friends... getting your parents to help sometimes isnt that easy... my parents never had a car, and if i asked them to teach me, it was either not enough time or "no you might crash it"... Half of my friends parents have a car or two, yet still they wont teach their kids to drive... makes it just that little harder for ppl like me ya know... i guess what im sayin is, not all parents are willing to spend that valuable time teaching there kids simply because they either dont have the time or are not willing to have there car OWNED!!
Its a skyline thing, well more a nissan thing.. some ppl hate japa cars and this is what happens.. look at cruises for instance.. 30 imports, terry toughnuts drives into the car park, see's all the imports and has just got to do a burnout... honestly i dont get it, i dont like commo's and aussie built cars much, but if it looks hot or sounds hot, my thumb is up at em!
i was at an accident with one of my friends a while ago, it was his mate i was just there to help... anyways, daddy bought him a 2001 wrx.. he thought it would be a good idea to race some focker up a hill and over a crest in suburban streets of wanneroo... came over the crest, got airborne, spun out and slammed into an awaiting tree... by the time i got there, the coppers where there, he told them he was only doing 70kmh yet the marks on the road were at least 50 meters... daddy turns up and says, its ok, ill get you another one... i couldnt believe it, i was so pissed off... so yeah, i understand what you mean about daddy and mommy buying the car... i say earn your damn car...
Just my ten cents...lol
