Same here until it went past 160 and then i got scared because their was a car in the next lane and let off at 165. Could the fact that i have a piggyback have something to do with it?

 

my friends dad crashed his unbeliveably sick m5 into a truck cuz he showing off for some hot girl and the guy infront slamed his brakes, i think he said something about sueing the girl, hahaha

 

haha!

 

Let me know how that works out. I wuld love to tell my boss (an atty) about that outcome. lol!

 

I understand that. I am 28, and have still been known to take it a LITTLE excessive. Not to the 160+ mark, although I have been on the back of a bike at that speed before...scared the SH*T outta me. I would hurt myself if I turboed my G. lol....kinda like chocolate. If I don't buy it I won't be tempted to eat it.

 

Turned traction control off on a windy road, banged second and my wheels lost traction. My back end slid to the right and my car turned 180 degrees and slid right into a tree. Window shattered and my car was stuck against the tree in the snow. By the way this happened yesterday. I hope this can be a lesson to many of you, I am 17 and very ignorant, and naive. I have learned my lesson and the whole thing could have been much much worse.

 

good to see you're ok, and even better to see you've learnt your lesson

 

I'll post pictures soon. Many of us when were young think were racecar drivers and were far from it. I got an estimate yesterday and its around 5200 in damage, and I'm now forced to report it to my insurance company..

 

sorry about the size.

 

at least no one got hurt, just looks like body work, cant even see a scratch on ur wheels, but i know how u feel im 17 too, my G is my second car. and i love it ,but,,,,,i miss my first car, but im a better driver from it

 

Yeah my wheels took no damage, the fender only took damage from the tow truck taking it out of the snow and rubbing against the tree it was against. And yeah I'm going to be a lot better driver because of this. It's my second car also but I had a GMC Envoy before as a handy-down from my mother. My parents are now making me pay insurance along with my monthly payment. My plans for exhaust have been post-poned dramatically...next mod...bigger brakes

 

How are you 17 year olds affording these cars?

 

Work hard? I work 35-40 hrs/week and go to school. I got my car at 20k OTD as a steal, I've seen my same car with same options go for 27k, so it's not that hard to believe.

 

It was 2:30 comin back from a party. I was goin bout 40mph and didnt see a huge double dip. went airborne. needed a new bumber.

 

i swear me and that other dude are one in the same, ive been working 40+ hours a week, and i got it used, for 17k off craigslist, and most of the mods where already on it, car loans are a bitch
