Women Shouldent own Turbo Coupes?

I was wondering when we'd some some Crystal Smackdown. They've now been told, and from the responses I wonder how many of our cars were built with pedals in the back. I see there are at least two here. ;)

I've got to disagree with buying your kid something powerful for a first car. The fact is, no matter how trustworthy you think your kids are, the time will come when they try to show off for whoever is in the car with them and a mistake will be made. Sorry, my kids lives are too costly to take that risk. Teenagers are teenagers. Boy or girl, it matters not. I'm sure every one of us here remembers a close call from when they were in their first car, if not an outright accident caused by teenaged supidity (an affliction none of us escape). One where you know you're lucky to have escaped with your life. My kids will have at most four cylinders in their first car, which I'll buy for them, and no power adders. A standard is important, but they'll know how to drive a stick long before they get their license.

Every teenager hits the limit in their car at some point. I'd rather that limit be 100mph than 150.

I just kinda skimmed over this (I agree with OldRaven - NO kid should have a fast first car. I did, and I'm surprised I survived), but about thta "Girls think Hondas are cute" statement: Honda seems to think so. They have a commercial with two girls arguing over whos Civic is better, and one says "Mine's cute". The other says "Mine's cuter". And it goes downhill from there...

Sadly a lot of girls want to buy "cute cars" I hunted down a 98 VW bug for my mom when my brother adopted her intrepid. Why the bug? Cuz it was about as cute a car as I could find and that's what she wanted.

I don't consider any of the fox cars fast, but the only time I was actually afraid something terrible was going to happen to me in mine was when I lost the brakes going 70 down the highway with traffic and the 3 lanes were merging in to 2 (construction I didn't know about). Luckily it was about 2 weeks after I got the 5 speed in the sport and downshifted out of it. Problem: rusty hard line blew out.

Honda's are (allegedly) reliable, but am I the only one who thinks they do a true disservice in their marketing and styling? It's like they're trying to make liking bloodless, soulless, cars a virtue. Their cars have no character to my eyes...it's like anything and everything "fun" gets sacrificed on the altar of practicality, there is no middle ground. Like I said, a true disservice. I also wonder if there is some sort of twisted "chic" in some circles about owning non-American cars, but don't even get me started there...

I'd like to throw in my thoughts:

Like many guys here, I did some stupid stuff in my first car. I think the rear end spent more time hanging out than it did being in line. And, yes, I found the top end in that car once or twice.
With that being said, driving is like anything else - it takes practice to become skilled at it. While men tend to push the limits in their cars, women tend to take it easy. That's just a fact, but there will be some outliers in that particular bell curve.
Therefore, I think that female drivers at a young age tend to be safer than male drivers at a young age. Again, there will be some outliers (like Crystal).
That's not to say females will react correctly in an emergency situation more often than males. I think males will win here, as they've already learned how to counter-steer and what-not.

On a side note: I think daboss351 should be limited to 10 posts per thread. That is all.
