Default Young S2K drivers

A lil off topic, but does anyone notice that young s2k'ers on the board seem to always get flamed? I mean, we're all here for the same thing, right?

I think it goes with every group of sports car owners. Truth really is, though, youngsters can't handle a lot of horsepower. I'm 18 and had to figure it out the hard way after breaking a rear axle on my Mustang. After that I got an AWD Subaru RS and it's no fun. Now I'm either looking at a Miata or S2000, and this time around I'll know how to take care of it.

But the hard thing is, you can only learn with experience. Sometimes experience winds you up in a ditch.

In most forums, the younger drivers always usually get flamed. Mostly due to their(not all young drivers) lack of experience, stupid judgements, and other stupid crap that happpens when your're in your teens. And for the record, im 18

How many, "I crashed the S2K last night" posts have there been, or the "I was only 5 MPH over the speed limit on dry roads and the car just spun out" post have there been. You have to give them credit for putting it out here for everyone to see though.

I just think it's hard for older drivers and older people in general have a tough time understanding the logic behind bragging about going 110mph on public roads and etc... I think everyone at one point in their lives made mistakes during their teen years, but it's hard to understand the logic behind their "adventures." Like djohnston said, we can only go by words.
