Some parents are unbelievable.

[0h n0 5.0]

I never once blamed the kids, I only stated that there is a vicious (sic) crash course that inexperianced, new drivers need to take before becoming totally cool and confident in high powered cars, respect for its power, and confidence in themselves in handling it.

I totally agree that that stupid ricer movie only fueled the idiot flames of uprofessional, untalented streetracing, but it can't be blamed for every mishap. Did it happen with American Graffitti? I dunno. I wasn't around back then but I saw the same childish driving antics leavin the premeire of Gone in Sixty Seconds.

Pop Culture is very impressionible on teens who are looking for social acceptance and a definition of themselves. The guy who turned me on to Mustangs is rich, but he's a hell of a nice guy, an he works retail while still in graduate school. My good friend and guitarist buddy is a rich kid. The kid only knows what they are accustomed to.. and its not all rich kids, its just certain personality types. I'm mad at the people who put the highpower deathtraps even on the table... !tada! the parents.

Case in point, my lil 13 yr old sister told me that her friend's "daddy" asked her daughter what kinda car she wanted when she turned 16. her answer: a Porsche. His answer: "O.K."
