What the hell would insurance be like on an 18 year old with a Lambo?!?! Or a twenty-ish year old on a 599?!?! World's gone crazy!!

Re: Urrrmmm really!!!

Watched this on the news last night. I think if I heard correctly insurance through icbc was like 20k a year, based on car value and age. Fucking retarded I think, envious? Yeah a little. More disgust than anything though.

We talked about this at the meet last night, very very spoiled kids who do not seem to be making the most of that high-end education.

Re: Urrrmmm really!!!

Did anyone read the comments on that cbc article? What a bunch of self-righteous illiterate socialists! The police didn't witness anything, there were just reports from "concerned citizens" about a group of high end cars speeding (which they may or may not have been doing) but the point is that it was all heresay, nothing was actually witnessed by the police, no evidence was gathered and these kids had their cars confiscated and they were fined (not that any of that matters, I'm sure that their lawyers will have a field day with this). Does anyone else see a major problem with this? What has happened to Canada? Have we all turned into a society that forgoes the basic liberties of due process - assumed innocent until proven guilty?

The other thing that saddened me is that 90% of those comments also had to do with the envy and outrage that these kids could afford these cars! So what? Their parents (or themselves) have money, should they be ashamed of that? Is that a crime? Or are these socialists just mad that these individuals didn't have their money taken away and redistributed to the lazy and self-entitled crowd?

Re: Urrrmmm really!!!

No jealousy. Nor any comment on the kid's civil liberties but some parental common sense is missing here. When I was a kid I was a friggin menace in a 1985 Toyota Tercel wagon with less than 100 HP. I used to take my girlfriend's Chevette out in the rain and try and drift it because it was the only rear wheel drive car I had access to for chrissakes. If I had access to a supercar oy vey! I’ve driven cars on the road since I was 10. The simple fact is learning to drive a slow car fast takes a while, let alone a supercar.

Maybe a little jealousy but that's not the main issue here from my standpoint; it's the common sense factor. How can any responsible, loving, caring parent think that giving or allowing (kid's may have money in their own right) a new, inexperienced, immature (we all are / were at that age; we just know how to hide it better as we get older ) driver a supercar (not just a fast car, A SUPERCAR !!) and expect them to drive sensibly and or safely!! I had a 1.4 Citroen AX GT wityh about 70/75 bhp as my first car and I could have killed myself a few times in that and not always as a result of speed, but as a result of stupidity!!

And don't even get me started on what this is teaching the kids about the value of money!!

Re: Urrrmmm really!!!

I agree with the questionable parenting about letting them have a super car for the first car, but hey whatever works for them, they COULD be responsible. . . I just hate the fact that the police can impound the cars without due cause. Canada is a police state now I guess...

Funny how people remember about their first cars, I remember some glorious four wheel drifts in the snow with my chevette, scaring my friends... I seem to recall that was my goal at the time. If I had even my curent cars at that age I don't think that I would have survived!

Re: Urrrmmm really!!!

"Massie said the incident highlights an important message to drivers: "Speed is fairly unforgiving. Whenever you're involved in a motor vehicle accident where there's any speed at all, it's unforgiving ... Slow down, be responsible and understand that speed limits are there for a reason."

How exactly is this message? No one got hurt, no one was injured. The message is don't get caught, well they didn't even really get caught.

Not enough experience? For what? They seemed to have their system pretty dialed in, block traffic with other cars, and rip it.

Dangerous yes. Giving you kid a Lambo for their 18th, maybe not the best choice. Sending them to prison and forfeiting their cars, not really acceptable. I still don't understand how they can just seize your car like that, especially since there is no video, no police witness, just some people, who were judging their speeds.

We have all had some fun in a car, we have all broken a law or two, we just never got caught. Especially in the winter time... Still not really defending what they did, just the reaction seems a bit blown out of proportion, and more an envy thing.

Re: Urrrmmm really!!!

I completely agree with the envy factor, maybe they shouldn't have gotten taken down that way. A warning probably would have been suffice. But come on, you are 18, your driving a lambo/ferarri/Aston/gt-r/supercar with a bunch of all 18-20 year olds. I'm sure your just "cruisin" looking for babes, yeah slow and low right?

Re: Urrrmmm really!!!

Exactly. They have no other choice but to stick to that story. Police magnets in general.
