Default 16 and still alive

hey i'm only 16 and have had my 2000 SS for about 6ish months. i posted almost as soon as i got this car and everyone was convinced i was gonna drag race people on the streets and die in a crash or something. well, im still alive and actually havent raced anyone on the street yet. i did take her to the local drag stip though.

i bought nthe car already modded, yes the easy way, but really not that much has been done, plenty of room for lots more, and i dont have job so its not like i could afford expensive stuff anyways. i only got run 1/8th mile, but it ran a best of like 8.71 and 84 mph. and yes i would thinks these times are slow, but still too fast for me, NOT

Age is only a number really, there are people that are older and less mature. I was 16 when I got my vette, not long after I had a bottle on it, talk about a fast first car, atleast for me! It wasn't fast enough though, college is killing my mod account now! Good luck with the SS and be safe!

The mustang was a V6, you laid the bike down in the first .003 miles, and your dad gave you the QTP's for Christmas.

Just giving you a hard time Bob. You're vehicle list is almost as impressive as mine...

15 1/2- Mustang 5.0
17- 1998 T/A (got t-boned, my fault but not....long story)
17- Acura RSX type-s
18- 2002 WS6
19- 2002 Ranger XLT
19- 2004 R6
20- 2004 GTO

Those were the daily drivers, there was another fox body and an MR2 in there somewhere.

All paid for by me, myself, and I.

We didn't tell you that you were going to kill yourself. We told you NOT to kill yourself.

And we stand by that.

You better be knocking on wood bro. I said something like this as a response here a few weeks ago. I said that I havnt wrecked or got a ticket yet even though everyone here said i would(im 16 also). A week later my car is sitting off the road with a snapped rear axle and a bunch of other stuff due to a wreck. Be careful and dont jinx yourself.

Edit: I'll also add my car list
