F****** kids

 

If you read the link on the first page it says the car was his dads. A 16 year old should not have access to this car.

This is one of the readers comments on that link.....

 

agree 100%

 

No doubt. That isn't just opinion, it's factual. Hence higher insurance rates for teens.

 

WTF is wrong with parents now a days a 16 year old doesnt deserve a 350z. Let alone any sports car. MY 16 year old will be driving a 4 door PIECE OF ****.

 

All I know is that if I had my 350z at any of my teenage years I would have killed myself, I'm honestly not joking. Hell I used to be a maniac in my moms 95 acura so I couldnt imagine the damage I would have done with a more powerful "weapon"

 

Where the hell did that come from?

Your post makes you look like a teen. Let me guess, you got the Z when you were a teen and got butt hurt over the comment? Or are you the kid who sells shoes that I made fun of a few months ago?

 

dude i doubt it u can get enough cash at 16 to get a Z... ur mean mommy n daddies money i can say i got my ride by my self im 18 been working since iwas 15

 

thats ****ed up man. I bet he recently saw the movie tokyo drift... i wished my parents brought me a Z when i was 16. Im 18 now and I deserve every part of my Z. I brought it with my own money.

im sooo jealous of fat rich kid =X i only had the chance to read the first page of the post. Any 1 know if he's on the board or not?

 

ur a piece of ****

 

im not going to lie.. i feel lucky b/c i was 19 when i got my Z.. but i have a cousin that lives in tampa and he turned 16 like two weeks ago, and my aunt bought him a 350z... crazy... sometimes i wish i was rich like that.. I thought this was him at first, but he doesnt have a roadster just a black 06Z.

 

Wow, it amazes me how many people drive stupidly on city streets.

 

If I were a mod, I would ban you just for this beautiful line.

Now your posts make sense to me...

 

im sorry, but those of you that are saying that they need to raise the driving age are thinking about it completely backwards... its not a matter of how old you are, its a matter of experience behind the wheel, and the education about what they are doing...

you can raise the age to 18, but all you are going to do is decrease the number of 16 year olds dying in car crashes, and increase the number of 18 year olds dying in car crashes.

think about it, as you get older they dont discount your insurance because you are older... they do so because you are more experienced on the road ways.

if you want to find a real solution, make a mandatory drivers ed class both in the class room and in a car, a mandatory probationary period, and a mandatory in car safety driving program to teach what to do in worst case scenarios, and possibly make restrictions for cars driven by younger drivers. raising the legal driving age is not a solution, it is merely pointing blame at a group of people rather than focusing on the problem...

 

no 16 year old bought his car on his own. Saving ur money your parents give you dont count lol. And to save that money u had to be working from liek 12 years old lol. They mean i saved all the money mommy and daddy gave me and bought the 350z. **** i moved out of my house whne i was 16 lol. I didnt get my z till i was 20 though.

 

The whole point of raising the driving age is due to a lack of maturity in young drivers. No matter how much experience one has, a lack of maturity easily overrides experience, sometimes with deadly consequences.
Insurance rates aren't lowered due solely to getting older and having more experience, it has to do with the fact that older drivers are involved in far less accidents than younger drivers.

 

 

Dear god that is pathetic. RIP to the victim. It's not enough that he kills the guy, but he manages to dump the Z in the lake on top of that? I agree, the tests need to be harder, or they at least need to raise the age limit. I remember the knowledge test I took was ridiculously easy, and then my 2 subsequent road tests were jokes as well. I'm surprised you can drive on your own at 16 though.

I took my tests in Ontario and I had to drive with a parent for 8 months ( a year if you did not take a river training course w/ in car lessons) and then after you got your "g2" you could drive on your own but with limitations for 1 year before applying for the full adult liscense.

16 year old kids should NOT be driving Z's or any sort of sports car for that matter. Hell, when I was 16 I was driving an 86 camry. That was enough for me at that point haha.

 

Robert Baughman's photo in this story looked eerily like a mugshot, so I did a quick search. He was arrested in 2004 for driving without a license a few months after being arrested for petit theft. He also has 11 aliases listed for God knows what other crimes. Note, this is only for Hillsborough County:

I am 16 and drive like a saint, im not even into racing period. I like my car to be "clean" and "flashy" like a show car. I dont understand why most kids my age treat their cars like "hot wheels." Im guesssing they had a hard time going from: playing needforspeed underground and playing with little hot wheel's and mattel cars TO getting an actual car such as a 350z. hmmmm i wonder what that kid is gonna do? My father bought me my used Z for 18,000 (go ahead and hate me for that, because you of course you would never have gotton one if u had the chance right?) He said he would buy it as long as i agreed to pay the monthly 300 car payment and pay for insurance and gas, and all maintainence + mods. I struggle but I love my car to death so I want my Z to have a long life. I plan on keeping the car for a long long time so when I have too many miles (I drive very conservatively) I will probably just buy an engine and swap motors
