When rich kids die

[Danzig]

when i think back to all the risks i took as a teen.......it's no wonder my mother went grey so young. if i had a porche, i'd have had it pegged, absolutely. wasn't that long ago that i thought i'd see 'what this baby can do'. it's why i tell my kids you don't get do-overs. we've all been there-or most of us had. maybe not in as nice a car, but i'd imagine most of us have done things like they did. what a shame for them and their families. rich or not, their parents will feel the loss. you're not suppose to bury your kids.

and seattle, what a stupid remark.

i like to drive fast on occasion. but I do it in situations where there is less risk. I feel very comfortable behind the wheel & if there is an open road ahead of me.. time to gear down.

with that said.. when I went 160 in my friends Saleen I just closed me eyes and hoped it would be over fast. That was too much.... & its more difficult to be the passenger than the driver.

well, put a teen with no experience behind the wheel and it's a recipe for disaster. they just don't know how to react, so they generally overreact. put another kid in the car with them, and the odds of a wreck increase pretty dramatically. the whole 'look what i can do' syndrome.

Ironically being the 'good' kid he took the '04 and not the brand new 2011.

A 911 vs. a 998.
