i feel like a dick saying this but i dont have much respect for the brand new drivers on the road driving a car that cost 40k new and mommy and daddy spoil the hell out of you like that i know its messed up of me but its just how i feel about it

 

The G cost 40k new but now an 03 goes for 14-17k any kid with a part time job could pay 300 bucks a month. (dont know the year of his G is)

maybe he is a hard worker and a great student and his parent love him so much that they are paying his insurance or car payment.
s
one thing to say is will see how he acts on Saturday

 

Thanks for your opinions, they are all noted and understandable.

But... at the end of the day I believe we can't be nice just for the sake of preventing heartache.

To prevent further misunderstandings, it would be best if he didn't show up to the first meet and get denied right after. I certainly don't want to tell him no after getting cool with him. We should establish this now before anyone else gets hurt. Age is definitely important to me. It's fine that he follows the thread and is cool with us, but we will need to establish some standards soon.

Of course, age is not the end-all solution for maturity, but it is a good starting point...and nothing against stillendout personally, I'm sure he's a great kid and not "retarded," but I honestly think 16 and anyone in high school is really pushing it for me, personally. I hope he understands too. He has plenty of opportunities to start a team with buddies or enjoy life like most kids do his age.

I'll say it straight up... I have no desire to start a team and have high school students in it.

Does everyone at least see some of the rationality here or agree/disagree?

 

Yeah, none of that kind of talk here. We have no idea how he got the car, so we can't judge him in that particular way.

 

StillenD post up and state your case


seems your getting the X

 

Sorry guys, Stillendoutg35 is actually 21 or 22. I posted that because when I first started talking to him, he got me by telling me he just turned 16. Then I returned the favor when he came over, by leading him into my closet when he asked me if he could use the restroom. I will repost the age/name thing, my bad.

 

i understand everyones point of view on this that you cant judge maturity based on age because i know i still act stupid all the time i drive my car like its a damn race car and i do dohnuts and burnouts but i know when its not exceptable and if i get in trouble im an adult and can deal with it justly and i can afford to fix my own car if i mess it up so i dont really have a valuable opinion i just seen a couple kids around where i live that drive g coupes and i have no respect for them

 

05rev - 22 about to be 23
Edgar - aka bluevelvet - 22 & counting
Sam aka Lightsout - 26
Kris aka Xclusive - 23 soon to be 24
Jason aka Threatcon07-32
Ralphie aka Stillendoutg35-22
Robin aka jdmgee35-29

 

On a side note, Ralphie and Kris are en route to pick up a damn nice surprise for Ralphies car.

 

So now we know RULE #1 is

Must be 21 and over.

 

I agree about 16 and 17 year olds (yes some are mature but even for liability reasons, they should not be allowed) but what about 18 and over? They are then legally considered adults and should be in college/working full time by that age, and we could always consider case by case if they are 18-21? Just my opinion.

 

Ok, now that it's established stillendoutg35's real age. It's not an issue with him anymore. He's definitely welcome.

But everyone does agree with me on the age standard from here on out, right?

 

but they cant join us at the bar...lol

 

Good point

 

Yea still not legal..... And I object! I'll say I look at least 15-16.
