i dont see the problem with this question. I dont see anything wrong with going F/I for some fun every once in awhile, but for the daily commutes to atleast wonder if decent mileage is possible..

So are you telling me that because you are F/I, that you should throw mileage out the window and be pushing your car all the time?

Dont listen to these people Mike. Do your own dawggyyy i feel you. I would i have it also if i had the money. Those who dont will always hate because your car is faster. If you ever see them in real life then just line em up man. I bet that ***** fast as hell!

STFU ..

1) his car isn't faster than mine so i have no reason to hate
2) i'm not hating

i am not sure why the majority of you can't see this as a concern that someone with little driving experience as a high HP RWD car..

i tell the samething to people who want to buy a 1000 cc bike as their first.. or even a 600 ..

experience is the best teacher.. if you have none.. then you learn the hard way..

there is two things that are going to happen in this situation..

a) he is going to drive it like he stole it and wrap it around a tree

or

b) he is going to drive it like a Prius .. and then at that point.. what was the point of putting all that **** in the car..

you guy's can hype him up all you want.. saying he will be find.. the fact is he has little driving experience.. and that will come back to bite him in the ***

SlideFox

True, but... Do you know the kid? Have you driven with him? Why is age such a factor? I was driving 400-500WHP cars when I was 14yrs old (Not leagally of course), but by the time I was 16 and got my liscense; it was nothing new to me! I'm now 22 and I have driven 1,000+WHP cars.

No one knows his past driving experience. so lets stop throwing the "He's just a kid" blanket over him... ok?

First thing, lay off the caps.

Second of all, Age does not matter, its knowlage, respect and skill. How do you know that Mike hasnt raced shifter karts since he was 12??
(not saying he has, but you see the point) I was 19 when I got my Z w/ 400. It took some getting used to but I drive it responsibly and repect the power, and as a personal friend of Mikes, I know that he will do the same thing. Hes not your typical 17 year old

Like I said on some previous posts, there are 22 year olds on this forum that are not 1/2 as knowlagable as Mike. I think the age/power issue is very misused. Just my .02

I agree.. some kid totalled his STI here in CT and killed himself, his sister and his sisters friend.. this was after his license was suspended after speeding in his prelude.. so what do the parents do? they go out and buy an STI..

another kid totalled his 350z here in CT.. killed himself and a friend.. the parents are suing the state for road conditions

we remember the pics of the girl who totalled her dad's 911...

the kids in atlanta who had a C5 z06 at 16 who killed himself and another driver..

the list goes on...

sure.. not every kid is the same.. but one thing teenagers don't have.. and thats experience.. responsiblity does not equal experience..

you guys need to stop fcking kidding yourselves

Nick Boella(Hogan) has been driving since he was 10.. racing go carts... professionally drifting for mopar... he is/was a professional racer..

NOW.. should i tell you the story of Nick's friend who is in a vegitative state? wait.. you guys already know that

SlideFox

I agree with you Doug.... stupidity kills! Mike could be a respectable driver, but we can't predict the future now can we...

Again Doug, his father has more money than god and he doesnt give a chit, I've met Nick Hogan and he is he biggest toolbag ever. The kid thinks he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Maybe this has something to do with the bad choices hes made?

Yes, Mikes mother did help him out quite a bit, that doesnt mean that he is going to use the power foolishly. Now lets stop OT'ing his thread and focus on the great work PF did, and congradulate Mike for his car.

you drove 500 hp cars when you were 14 yr old umm yea in need for speed on x box but back to real life ... look at hulk hogens kid perfect example 16 yr +high hp kills.. the poor kid needs care for the rest of his life .. maybe you guys need to loose someone close before you wake up.

SlideFox

Dude, you don't know me, and I'm gonna leave it at that. I did lose someone close to me, and I learned to respect power at a young age.

So go back to playing your video's games, cause you have no clue on what your talking about!
