By saying I've driven fast cars before; I wasn't trying to imply I'm some track expert. I was just trying to convey that a ford ranger isn't the only car I've ever driven. I think the idea of an agreement with my father, stating written regulations, and restrictions is a good idea and I'll pass that idea onto him.

Having him drive along with me for the first week or so wouldn't work because he's a pilot and always flying ( I practically live alone ). College is coming up for me, and the practicality of an srt6 isn't too great for college although the practicality of it easily surpasses that of my ranger. All my life my parents have pushed the idea of saving my own money, and rewarding myself for my hard work with what i find most desirable. I really have taken that lesson seriously throughout life...

I don't see why a new car should repeal this lesson that's been pounded into my head. I realize the speed and horsepower is ridiculous; and my dad is only trying to protect me BUT I'm going to be 18 in a couple months and with age comes responsibility ( I'm sure all of you know this ) And I do believe I am ready for more responsibility.

Just my thoughts :/
