    Wait, Trench....I'm stupid because of my views on what people should be doing?


    I don't think that is very mature way of dealing with it calling us all stupid. Whats wrong with me thinking a 16 year old kid should not bet a car that expensive...its just plain ridiculous. No kid should have a car that expensive for their first car.

              Trench, I wouldn't continue to call others "Ignorant" when the present valid points. You're not swaying anyone, all you're doing is making yourself look like a fool.

                And your reasoning of "I have a piece of paper/plastic that says I can drive, therefore I can drive anything" is just plain ridiculous. When I was 5, my dad taught me how to ride a bicycle. Needless to say I wasn't jumping on a CBR the next day.

                  According to car and driver, which I consider a much more reputable car rag than the "chicago tribune" the stats are as follows:

                  RSX Type S: 0-60: 6.8s, 1/4: 15.4s, top speed: 142mph
                  Camaro Z28: 0-60: 5.2s, 1/4: 13.8s, top speed: 158mph
                  Subaru WRX: 0-60: 5.9s, 1/4: 14.6s, top speed: 145mph

                  RSX Type S (performance package even)

                  Camaro Z28

                  Subie WRX

                  I don't know, looks to me like the Camaro tops out in all categories....

                  I am an import lover myself, and I would take the WRX from the choices, but I find it best to know thy competition based on fact and not on biased opinion.

                    i considder it more reputable too, i am just reading off of the tribune article in my hand. i saved it, just b/c i thought it was funny.

                      Well, I guess I will use the "Unless I am provocted" now... lol...

                      Ok, your ignorance is found in the fact that what one kid does doesn't mean another kid will do it. The reason I am bringing this up is because I think it is stupid to say "He is going to wrap his car around a tree within 6 months"... Mainly these statements show your ignorance... time to back that up...

                      Ok, if you are willing say things like that then no one in this world EVER needs to drive. God help the people who might kill someone else in a car wreck... *Hides in fear of the cars*

                      That is almost like saying that since there is a possiblity of getting pregnant before marriage if you are sexually active, then either all people untill the time in which then are married should have something placed on their sex organs to prevent that, Or everyone should at least have sex with someone they really dont want to because the risks might be less

                      The reason I made that bold is because that is exactly what you are trying to do here. Stop someone from getting something they want. Who on earth are YOU to say that someone should never have a fast/sporty car before a certian age? Answer me that, who are you to say something that obsured? In case you are wondering, I dont need an answer.... You are a NoBody when it comes to statments like that...

                      I think everything everyone here is saying refers back to a childhood something... Maybe you wanted that Vet, but you didn't get it cause you didn't have the money? *Cries a tear for you in this case*

                      To sum up a lot of loose ends here, No one here has a right to say he cant have a certian car before a certian age. No one here has the right to throw out "He is going to wreck in 6 months" because he has a great chance of NOT doing do... AND, I am just as unsafe a driver in a Buick as I am in a Viper... So, get over it...

                        I meant to touch on this a bit...

                        Now, how many pics are per page on Vipers? 18 on average... Now, 7 pages that means there is around what? 126? Now, how many Vipers have been sold in the last, quarter? Year? 15 years (I think they came out in 1988)...

                        I am almost 100% sure that the ratio or wrecks:cars sold (Yes, this is a ratio) is not much if any larger than buicks sold:wrecked...

                            ok lets try this analagy.

                            this WICKED hot girl is all over u at a party. she has a rep of sleeping around. but i mean this girl is top social class, no tan lines, nice big rack, nice butt, the works, but she could have an STD but you know what what are the chances right. if you score with this girl your a hero with your friends and become a legend in the school... She is the fast car, you can get the fun and glory but you run a risk

                            Now the girl from down the street is the one hitting on u. shes average, nothing bad nothing special, could still have an STD but shes not worth the risk cause theres no real gain... She is your moms 98 caravan... sure you can still get a STD ( IE a car crash)if you do her ( drive like an ***) but you are less likely cause she is less attractive. but if you dont risk to sleep with her, you drop your chances of messing up by alot

                              Um, good try but NO....

                              Lets work off of yours...

                              With what you said makes no point because the risks are the same, just one looks better? I mean come on, there is no difference... Just because a girl is less attractive means you might not get a STD from her? Lol... GO UGLY GIRLS! And yes, thats what you said...

                              sure you can still get a STD ( IE a car crash)if you do her ( drive like an ***) but you are less likely cause she is less attractive.
                              So yes, ugly girls give STDS off less... Lol.... I like it!

                              Anymore analogys that have no point to them?

                                This is the only point I have ever debated before because I am not into that, but when people pick on a kid for reasons with no grounds, I got a bit pissed...
