I'd be a great example of "stuff happens". I had my license a grand total of two days and wrecked my mom's car at a stoplight. lol Don't ask, it's been 30 years. I have to be sure the statute of limitations has expired like three times over.

Yep. Kids (and adults alike) are capable of doing some pretty stupid things at a moment's notice. Sorry to hear about your uncle's bad luck. Stuff happens, or so they say.

I didn't miss the point. lol I'm aware of that. Just a little attempt at humor, that's all. lol

He knows. I remind him of it every day. Hahahaha

It wasn't cheap but it isn't crazy either. Farmers Ins. But the fact I have two homes (mine and M-I-L), 5 cars, a couple ATV's and a boat insured with them probably doesn't hurt either. Multi Line discount FTW. LOL. Oh, and zero claims history. They aren't losing any money on the 17 year old.

An MS3 is faster off the line. That's why it was my first choice. But trust me, he could get in plenty of trouble in that 8. It might not be a rocket ship but it handles superbly. It'll carry enough speed through the corners to take quite a few "faster" cars.

Careful what you ask for... I might expect too Much and some asshat Internet troll might think I "forced" you to grow up to be a responsible young adult. Lol

Show me where I used "forced"? So, uhhh, "give me a break". Lol. Typical. If you want to be an obtuse asshat, do it somewhere else.

Thank you. Obviously someone who's a responsible parent and not just trying to be an obtuse troll.

Thanks. lol He's a good kid. We had a deal from way back. Grades, sports and work ethic. If he maintained an agreed upon mix of those at the level I expected, then the car was the reward. He earned it and despite the "internet naysayers"... spoiled kid, he'll wreck it, he'll get a million tickets.. blah blah…

"...don't ask me how..." Uhhh, because John Davis and Motorweek. Duh.

In Soviet Union, TLD own YOU!

Can't wait for the Speed3. I tried like hell to get my boy one when he turned 16 and he flat refused. He *really* wanted an RX8 R3. I had promised him if he fulfilled his end of the deal, I'd fulfill mine, so R3 rotary it was. But, I think he's getting over the rotary now, so I'd be plenty happy to send him off to…

If I were to ever use the word "neato", this would be the time and place.

So how long do I have to sit here, staring blankly at the browser reading Gawker sites, my only bodily movements being:

Oh, well since they asked. That's totally different. No prob bro's, we'll just catch ya next year. If we knew the whole "spying on EVERY FUCKING WAKING MOMENT of your lives was gonna be a such a downer for you, you should'a just, you know... asked us not to do it". See? Problem solved. Later hacker dudes.

Agreed. Tis quite the conundrum.

Yes, yes! That one too! Hahaha

I read cujo, indeed many of King's books, multiple times and I'll be damned but I don't remember that from the book.

Annnnnd this would be the perfect time to share the age old man jingle... Passed down from father to son.
