most younger kids are not responsible with a fast car. There are a couple of kids on this forum even that have crashed cars mom and daddy bought doing stupid ****.
That sucks you got hit, but everyone does stupid ****. This 19yo just happened to make a worse choice then you kids have.
Like I told Daniel, everyone is a little retarded. This one just sounds SUPER retarded. If this happened to me I would've probably slapped the boy around and asked him wtf he was thinking crashing in to people. its real life not GTA!

its not the age, its just stupid people
stupid people do stupid stuff all the time. How many times have you seen a guy in his 30s driving like an asshat with kids in teh car or something.
I hope your ok and the insurance companies help you out also.

I was crusing around 70-75 in the carpool lane chatting it up with my girlfriend, when i look in the rear view mirror and see this black evo 9 speeding up behind me going at least 90-100 mph. by the time i saw him he was about 15 ft away from my car. i immediately say "oh ****" and right when i finish my sentence, he hits me in the right rear corner... the suspension is tweaked, steering wheel is off by about 20 degrees, followed with the obvious body damage. im really hoping that he bent the unibody, because i DO NOT want to keep this car anymore...
Very fortunate you're ok from being rear ended at freeway speeds, glad you're ok. I don't know if he was playing speed racer but yeah, this accident was entirely the other guy's fault for switching lanes without looking, very likely that truck he describes in the norcalevo thread was in his blindspot - I guess looking over your shoulder is just what experience teaches people, and I hope at least he'll do that from now on.
I guess the question is - what car now

From the NorCalEvo thread:
ORLY?
That's terrific advice!
Sorry about your wreck, it happens to all of us eventually. Any pics of the evo?
That's terrific advice!

I think some of you guys have heard me say this before. No parent should buy their 16, 17, or 18 year old kid an STi or an Evo, or any luxury car for that matter. I just see too many problems that can come out of it.
