Get this and stay the hell off the road:

Seriously, its not worth getting into trouble before you even get a license. And whats worse, you really dont have enough experience behind the wheel to be doing speed runs. Hopefully it wont take something as serious as wreching a car or even losing a few highschool friends before you realize how serious it is to drive a car, especially at speeds. Now im not saying not to speed... We all speed... Im just saying take it easy and progress slowly, that way youll have a better chance of not killing yourself or others.

Like I said, I'll getting a truck, so I won't be speeding (it's easy not to speed in a big *** truck). Besides, my friend wants me to start driving him to school and if I loose my license, I'll get dropped

I forgot to prefix "beer" with "root". If youre going to canada in the winter time, it had better be for some sick snowboarding. Thats one time all us F-Body guys sure are jealous of your FWD jetta.

When I was 14 I drove my mom's Grand Cherokee to Middle School a few days. Parked in the teacher's lot. Everyone thought I was the Pimp Daddy when I did that. I was an absolute god for the rest of the week. Problem is, word started getting around and almost got me in trouble.

haha they joys of being young.

When I first got my license I used to borrow my parents 95 nissan pathfinder. One day coming home from school, with the car packed out with 7 people, including one in the back storage area (no seat), I decided it would be great to jump the railroad track crossing doing like 70mph. Well I did (what a stupid thing to do when I look back on it), and managed to land it safely despite almost losing it when she hit .... a good 50-60 feet later. My buddy in the back suffered some minor scrapes from random **** in the back when we landed, but other then that we were all okay. Although flying in a nissan may seem like a good idea, it is not.

You better be careful man. If you hit 120 you might lose consiousness.

Let me get this right. You hit 85 in a 30 zone "on your way back"? Most long roads with no one around arent 30 mph zones. Your lucky everything went ok for you. Yeah its all cool when your mobbin 100, but if your ever at the wheel of a vehicle out of control you'll wish you had your mommy.

The slower the vehicle, the more often I find myself speeding. See in my z, I can romp up to 65 and sit there pleased with myself due to the acceleration. If Im driving a slower car or truck, I cant get my fun by quick acceleration, so instead I find myself speeding at 80+. Also, driving the 6 speed with 4.10s and loud exhaust has done wonders to curb my speeding habits.

If it's some old *** truck with a V6 I won't be, but if I do get a newer one with a V8 (6.0L I hope) I will be speeding.

There is a reason why there is an age limit to get a drivers license, and your story should show you that reason. (definately not saying it is okay for anyone to drive recklessly regardless of age, but at least someone who has some more experience/common sense would be slightly better suited to do so then someones first time behind the wheel).
.
My sentiments exactly. Your mom needs to have her head examined for letting you drive her car without a permit.
