Firsty I didn't take the photo, one of my friends did, thats why it's so bad But it was a skyline, it ran up one of those wires that hold telephone poles into the ground. Was in Northcote over the weekend.

Ditto that.

But if he was driving badly enough to smash it like that, he didn't deserve the car anyway.

If he was unlucky, well, that happens, and I hope he can get it repaired.

The biggest thing that ticks me off is when some kids get a beautiful skyline or WRX from mummy and Daddy for their 18th, and they don't know how to drive it, treat it like shit and wrap it around a pole. Usually, they walk away, while a bystander or passenger is injured. It shits me to tears.

Personally, I wish there was a class of 'sports' licenses that were required to drive turbo or high powered cars. Although that would have to be regulated by the government, so probably a complete cock up anyway.

The sad part is, you see a smash like that, and a lot of people blame the car. "Too much power.." "Those imports are dangerous..." "Mavis, did you see that car? It must have been doing a hundred miles an hour, these kids today have no respect for anyone, in my day.. blah blah"

If only we could ban bad drivers. It's not an age thing, idiots come in all ages. It's not an experiance thing, people with 10 years of on road experiance can still be knobs. It's just that some people have neither the physcal ability or the mental capacity to drive a performance car in a manner that is safe for them and the people around them. Maybe getting CAMS involved would help. Where's little Johnyy's email address....

Ah screw it. Vote ME! Premier Koz, I'll remove the Hoon laws, Drop all import Tax on Jap parts and cars (If I become PM) and set up legal dragways all across the state.

.... I think I just convinced myself to become a politician....

Man, the 'line is a very tempremental thing. I remember a couple of times, i pressed the gas a bit too much, and it just decided to slip the tires. Had to pull over and check that I hadnt dumped in my pants! Know the car, know the limits.

GTSTs in the rain with not so good tyres and some good power = potential for bad news...u need to be careful and drive safely. We all learn...i have done that before and u sure learn the the rain and a GTST is not to be messed with.
