FunkyLemons..thanks for posting the most boring, peice of shit biography. I mean who the F cares about your dumbass life? God. Anyways, I'm not pissed at the kids for getting hot cars so young...shit you know anyone would take a car if its handed to them! I'm pissed at the parents for being so dumb for giving their kids the car...then the stupid little kid goes out and plays with his little friends and gets into accidents cause they cant handle rwd 240HP - type cars. For the most part, as you get older and have more driving experience you become a better driver..makes sense don't it? But thats my opinion and even though its annoying to me, its not affecting my life any more then having me post some responses on this forum. By the way, I'm 22 so I don't know why you keep referring to me as "old".

wow i didnt think it would go this far...sorry for the inconvenience....however its spelled....but im 18 and im claiming and insurance check soon from a recent accident when i was 16....and now that im 18 i can go to court...its been 2 1/2 years of pain and doctors so im getting a large sum of money...and when it drives off the lot...its goin right to a shop for my stuff....ive gone through 5 cars since i was 16....and im sick of it i just need a new car. i hear alot of you guys saying youngens cant apreciate a s2k but i dont think that is right....ive had 2 cars worth more than ur s2k's ....try a 96 (rare) turbo mr2 with 22k miles on it...with buncha engine mods...a jdm toms kit with advan RG's wrapped with paradas....so i know how to apreciate cars....thanks

 

Thanks for lightening up this string!

 

We didn't all get it handed to us!

 

Actually, you cant look at just the numbers because there are surely more 21-25 year olds driving S2000s than high school kids. They only way to get the correct figures would be to take the percentage of wreck per high school kids with S's compared to the percentage of wrecks with 21-25 year olds. Just a thought though, why is it that insurance companies lower your rates when you turn 21 instead of raising them since you are obviously losing expeirence coming for the "flawless, perfect, not even capable of being wrong, know everything 18 year old." Who knows, I just know I wish I was 18 again so I could know everything in the world and be a better driver to boot {end of sarcasm}

I can totally respect people younger than me (Im 21) on two principles. One, they bought it themselves or two, their parents bought it for them but they dont go around bragging about how they are 12 and own an S2000. If something is given to you and you act like you earned, you earn zero respect from me. Just say your parents bought it for you. I know if my parents had offered me an S2000 when I was youner, I sure as hell wouldnt decline. But my parents believe that hard work is crucial to becoming a responsible adult, thus I have had a job since I was 16. Yeah, they helped with my with my first car, a 94 Honda Civic EX as well as paying for my college. Bah, I am rambling now. You get my point.

 

Just to stir things up a bit, (not that this discussion really needs it but I like being an SD) why hasn't anyone mentioned the 50+ year old owners who are clearly going through a mid-life crisis?

 

i am sooo sad now! i thought all you guys were like 32 n had to work all your lives to save up for your cars. heres me 16.. n will probably not be able to afford a car til im 19 even then it will be some poxy little heap of junk! If i could choose any car in the world it would be an S2000..over n e thing. i hope u realise how lucky u lot are..hehe

 

b00stn and the other kid that made the comment about accident rates..you guys have no clue what your talking about...you have no documentation on it and just make up random crap about polls and about this board and about just s2000's..just shut the F up and listen....Department of Motor Vehicles prints out an annual report stating both number of drivers in each age range as well as accidents per age range. To make a long story short, the numbers they show represent PERCENTAGES. That means that even though there are less drivers 16-18 then 18-25, there are more accidents per driver for 16-18 age catagory...do...you...understand? and if one other little snot-nosed high school kid posts some shit about how much they work at McDonalds or whatever I'm gonna have to pull some smack out on him

 

I think the age thing will always be an issue that divides this community (so long as we let it). You guys and gals are old and mature enough to know that life doesn't hand everyone even hands, right?

PS: I work 10hr shifts at McDonald's and pull night shifts at Jack in the Box. Come by anytime. I enjoy seeing overzealous people make asses of themselves.
