is it just me or have i not seen one of these Kids in a supercar kill anyone recently? I mean that's a good thing, but it just goes to show that a lot of these kids aren't interested in cars anymore. Or they too fucking broke and nobody can afford cars so they instead play on their phones and ride e scooters around town.

I had this one kid come up to me asking if my ratrolla was an EV. im like yes, yes it is.

The ones that make the news typically are one in a VERY LARGE cohort of kids with cars way too fast for them. A lot of them either don't like driving to begin with, or know their limits and toodle around town slowly.

Yea that throttle control/traction management is pretty scary actually lol that you’re driving around and you don’t really understand how the force of your foot makes the tires react other than stop and go

As I’m typing that though admittedly I’ve crashed a bunch of dirt bikes and snowmobiles and even recently rolled a friends side by side, but it’s not so much I don’t know how to drive, it’s that I don’t know anything but full-send lol..

I would say that going from F150 to G37 I never once had a speeding ticket in the past 15 years of driving and then I get a 300hp car and I’ve had 4 in 5 years :/ pretty sure if I had an actual fast far my licence would be in jeopardy

Albeit 2 of the tickets came from wack ass Hope speed trap in the variable speed zone

^TBH You can get an excessive speeding ticket is almost any car made in the last 20 years. Nothing is really that slow anymore except for a Prius C. God those things are fucking slow.

Pretty damn windy out today! Trees down, power out, and ferries cancellations.
