My first ride was an 87 Mustang LX back in 1992. Ah the memories.

 

Im only 15 but i have been driving on the roads for 3 years, I found a chevelle for 8,000$ but it is in WV. Its all drag racing as well fick 720hp going up there to check it out. Also I know the guy quite well.

Hey, I'm 16 aswell, Being young and having fathers who are into fast cars could not be better. Me and my Dad are currently working on a project car, it's a 1998 trans am. A 427 BBC with aftermarket everything and a vortech supercharger. He always tells me that it's gonna be way to much for at first and i'm sure he's right. o well, I can get broken in this summer with our 67 camaro drag car. It's sweet to be 16.

 

heh i found out tonight that even the stupid laws r there for a reason, and u should follow every one of then, becus i didnt, i lost it, i lost my baby, i lost my dreams, i lost everything, the trust and respect of my parents and my life, not really my life, but everything i loved in my life all my plans, dreams of racing besid my dad out on the track, playing around, all the good times, i lost that, u need to obey the laws, and slow down in the rain

I'm Sorry to hear about your accident and i hope its not totalled. Oviously you couldn't handle the responsibility of a V8. I got my LT1 When i was 16, i was the ONLY kid in my school with a v8, i was big man on campus. I was never involved in a accident that was my fault (my buddy rearended me in his 94 Z) I am now 18 years old and selling my LT1 with plans to get a bike (this spring) and a ls1 in about a year. I am selling my LT1 so i can get a cheaper daily driver so i can save up while i goto college. My LT1 wasn't stock (Longtubes, ORY Pipe, Borla, Intake, Pro 5.0, Centerforce clutch, and a 100 wet shot and a few other goodies). My mom knows i race, i race at the track, race on the street. She knows i have done over 155mph, she knows everything. She trusts me and i trust myself in my car. I know what my car can and can't do and know when its limits have been reached. When i first got my car i was so scared of it because it was my first v8. I have never wrecked a car on my own fault, and consider myself a very decent driver. I still respect my car and know its limits. My mom would watch me race at the track etc. etc. She trusted me, i gave her no reason not too. RWD cars are nothing to mess around with in the rain, i play around in the rain ALOT, but i dont endanger others, for example, i wont do a top speed run with someone with me. I personally believe that since i pay for EVERYTHING for my car (insurance, payments EVERYTHING) that it makes u more responsible then when u dont. Some people may disagree, and thats ok, its just my opinion. I think you are lucky and i hope u did learn a lesson. Be safe, be cautious, and always have fun, but there is a time and a place to do it. Good Luck, David.

 

I'm 17 and my car has been paid off since summer but anyways, congrats on the car, respect it and dont screw around too much...and dont get wreckless....its not hard to pay for mods when you dont have to pay for the car itself...

 

uhhh ok what part of he wrecked it did you not get man?? this is why people give you crap about this being your first car man. i did the same thing. in 1997/1998 when i turned 16 and got my first car. 91 eagle talon. (i know it was gay but it was my first car). neways i wrecked it 2 weeks after i bought it. and just like you it was raining and then wrecked it again about 7 months later. do you know if they are gonna fix it or not? neways keep us posted and maybe this will be a eye opener to you and you'll learn something from it like i did. just be safe and take it easy man..... and remember the car is replaceable. a life isn't.

 

Iam really sorry to see that, iam really hoping that its not totalled. I totally agree with 1QuickLT1. I was 17 when I got my SS and now 19, first time out trying to get used to it I spun it going around a corner, scared the **** out of me. I have been driving it responsibly ever since. I also have it almost paid off and have had a good enough job to make the payments and insurance (as well as mods). Iam just lucky that I didnt hit a curb or anything else, and screw my car up. Anyway hope everything works out for you and good luck.

 

Any word on the car?? Look man, all u need to do is get to know the car before u start wheeling it. Get a feel for how it handles before u go speeding thorugh corners. Get a good idea of its powerband, and even more important, learn how to drive it in the rain. I hear so many stories of young (16) year olds wrecking there cars (even slow ones). A LT1/LS1 is not slow for a 16 year old IMO. I don't know about you guys, but when i first got my Z it scared me, but after months of getting a good feel of it, i tested it out more, not so much as to over do it, but "test" it. I went out one night @ 3am (i was doing a project at the last mintue that was due the next day)for a break, noone was on rt. 32, i mean NOONE, so i drove up and down a few times to check the road out, then got on it towards my house, and then see what she had i was doing about 80mph coming off the ramp, then kept grabbing gears. Once i hit 5th i watched my mph raise to 155mph and i was about to redline, so i shifted to 6th, and eased off. I was content with 155+mph for the time being. All im trying to say is dont go out and start racing people or doing stupid **** when u dont know what your doing. Racing is awsome, but learn your car first....get comfortable. Remember, there is a time and a place to do(or not to do)everything. Good Luck -Dave

 

............i friggen posted that and all of a sudden i scrolled up and found that.....thats why people didnt think i should have my car...but there is a big difference in buying your car and having someone buy your car for you....you respect it a whole lot more if you bought it yourself...thus the reason why i havent done any stupid ****...

 

Im 16. I had a 92 rs to start then a 95 dodge dakota, then an 88 Silvarado, and finally my baby a 2000 Z28. I love my car and its bone stock now but wont b for long. Never had any claims on insurance and its $800 every 6 months. Enjoy your new ride. Im also in the process of getting borla exaust and a tsp airlid. I pay for the car and my parents pay the insurance. Im pretty carefull when driving because this car is my life and i hope you do the same.

 

Look about 8 posts up.

 

I couldn't agree more with that. I have higher monthly payments on my car than any of my friends do, and I also take the very best care of my car. My girlfriend and friends say I'm obsessed and crazy and I just tell them they would be like me if they paid as much as I do. Paying for things on your own changes your attitude quite a bit.

 

i agree with all of you. i've had to wait 3 years to get my car. insurance was WAY to high for a payment and insurance till now. neways i hope you can get your car fixed and back to you. mine's in the shop right now and it's only been there since tue and i'm about to die to get it back. couldn't imagine not getting it back. that would prob kill me.

 

I do hope this kid posts back and gives us details......like i have said before, i hope everything goes ok..later - Dave

 

That suck about your Z man! I got my car when I turned 17 and no wrecks yet! Or speeding tickets! Obey the law!

 

MJSLude99, people say i'm obsessed with my car too, but they also realize that i paid for almost all the car myself and they understand why i'm obsessed with it

 

hey everyone, im back, yeah half a year later i finaly decide to show my head agian, the camaro is totaled nd would cost to much to fix so yeah, thats dead, but my rents were cool and decided to give me another chance by giving me a well a rent loan, they bought it and stuff but i have to pay it off, i have to work around the house nd such nd keep a time card to pay every month off, which reminds me this month is coming to a close nd im behind on the money so i better get my butt in gear, but ya the new one is 98 z28 ... well its exactly the same as the last one execpt that its metalic navy blue or what ever they call it, it looks dark purple in the light so we nick named it plue, nd its a stick, that took a lil time to get use too, and no traction control, oh and the wheels wernt chrome. but ya, i got some pics some where and ill get them up as soon as i have time, but latly my car has been totaly stock, only put my xmas present (my borla exhaust) on last night i think it was, ya, she sounds nice now lol. and i got a speeding ticket, lets hope that will go away..... and then uhh i think thats it besides that me and my dad have been taking trips to cali to A & A corvette or what ever to get his new block in and then to portland to get it tuned and finalized, actualy we just got back a lil while ago. but ya schools almost over i get to be a jounor next year at a school close to home which will eather be all new or all new to me, kinda nervis but ya hopfully the car will get me some extra well coolness points. and all i can say is i definatly learned from this, im a much i dont want to say better but slower nd more carful driver and i dont go to crazy. lol well hardly ever

 

Congrats on the car now go find a big parking lot and see what it feels like to lose control from a stop and learn how to control a slide. That was the best thing I did with my truck when I was 16 that away I knew what it felt like to lose control because it happens to all of us.
