Dang, I had a whole big post about this. Then I found out that I had timed out. Drat!! Anyway, I want to say sorry to OP if I derailed the thread. And I appreciate anyone's input. And I get the whole ping pong theory. My pops drove a Corvette off of a cliff once, and it got jammed into a bunch of trees and slid down to safety! If he had been in Silvia, he woulda died, after nose diving into the ground. But where I am, odds are it will be a congested area, with some idiot in a new BMW/Mercedes/Some other land based rocket cramming into you at a red light when you have no where to go. Whatever hits me will take the hit way better than I will. And summer time is the worst. Thats when all the serious hardware comes out. I saw a McLaren with a new driver's warning decal on the back of it today. Really? That $470,000 insanely fast car was a good choice for your child's first car?

Hate me if you want, but I'll take my chances with Silvia this year. Take all of that inexperienced, super car driving idiot threat level, and add on texting while driving, and you can get an idea of just how scary it is here lol.
