^ Who really cares what age the driver is? There are two sides to every debate. A kid would never appreciate the essence of a $300,000.00 car. He would more likely drive the piss out of it, never maintain it, break the law repeatedly in it and eventually wrap it around a power pole. The "old man", on the other hand, understands the philosophy behind such a car, will see to its maintenance and value it for what it is. Does this make him "enjoy" the car less?
I could just as easily say that it makes me sick to hear of those who get sick because of what someone else does when it has no consequence to your own lot in life. (Oh, wait .................. I just did.

I think in all honestly we could debate this issue over and over...every situation's different, maybe a rich old guy just buys the car so he can drive the piss out of it cause he's rich, maybe the young kid babies the car cause he's an enthusiast, and vise versa. What im trying to imply is, you can't stereotype, and if you do, someone will stereotype you back.. So everyone needs to keep an open mind!

"I feel completely opposite from you... a 50-60 year old with a $300,000 ferrari makes me sick. What is an old man gonna do with ferrrari? least the 16 year old can ACTUALLY enjoy the car...LOL"
You DID stereotype. That's why I pointed out the "other" side of the coin.

WOW, you guys get quite defensive, yes my first comment was a stereo type and I admit I SHOULD of kept it to myself, my fault! BUT the only reason why I said it is to defend the younger generation (which I WISH I was still part of, I'm not that young anymore). Everyone deserves a chance so lets not stereotype no more and all get along. I'll keep comments to myself next time.
Reijo: I know you are fast, theres no doubt about it. I definatlely wouldn't be able to beat you so theres no contest. BUT you need to sit back take a deep breath and calm down. IT was a joke, You don't need prove anything to me and I don't need to prove anything to you. I have taken a few amatuer solo 2 courses but nowhere near as experience as you. You are correct it's not all about modifcations on an vehicle, it's about driver experience so and so on, that I know you DEFINATELY have. Does that make everyone happy? LOL smile guys...haha

There are always going to be spoiled rich kids driving any variety of car anyway. I don't think 16 year olds with S2000's are what you should be concerned about. 16 year olds with $300,000 ferrari's is what makes me sick.
IMPOSSIBLE.. No one would sell one to him.. so that's a complete falsehood
if one is seen in one, it must be his dads..

We should all calm down. After all, we're all Canajuns and neighbours. We can behave better. I think we all have the capacity to stereotype and that's just human nature. It's also human nature to take offense. Knowing this, we should step away from the bar keep some thoughts to ourselves.
