I run into those s all the time. Swear up and down, left right and center that Honda's are the Sh*t and American cars are just that....Sh*t. No evidence to the contrary can convince them otherwise...it's just a sick mentality that makes my blood boil. Quote Selected
Women Shouldent own Turbo Coupes? Reply #50 – June 23, 2007, 12:10:43 AM The only reason I'm with my girl (for 3.5 years now) is because she OWNED a TC. I saw it advertised in the paper and tried to buy it. Instead I got the girl and the car. The car's gone now (we miss it) but she still has a more powerful car then most (2001 Grand Prix GT) and does not hesitate to drive John's 400HP GTO or any other car around here. Women can be just as good, or better, drivers then men. My sister Becky knows how to rock crawl and trail better then 90% of the males (she grew up 10 miles form the Rubicon). My other sister Risa is only 12 and she already knows how to start the engine in grandad's 7 second n/a dragster. She sits in the pen 15pit and works all the controls while the rear end is on a stand for warming it up. She'll be a better drag racer then me, and that's saying something.That being said, if I ever have daughters (or sons) they will all start their driving careers early. Shifter carts and Jr. Dragsters. Once they can prove responsibility with a clunker for year they can buy whatever kind of car they want. (With their own money like I did) Quote Selected

I was mentioning this thread to my fiancé and I mentioned the quote “and who in there right mind is gonna look at a car running 19 psi of boost for there daughter! unless they wanted her to crash! not to mention its a stick!” and she asked me to relay a secrete to whomever said something like that…. She said that…. Women have a tool to help them counteract this “handicap” of not having a pen 15; it’s called a TWO BY FOUR!!! I believe this tool to be the modern day equivalent of a Cast Iron Frying Pan Quote Selected
Women Shouldent own Turbo Coupes? Reply #52 – June 23, 2007, 05:41:55 PM I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but I get really angry when I have to pay higher premiums BECAUSE I have a pen 15... I got into it with an insurance rep one time. The best answer I could get out of her is "It's not stereotypes, it's statistics." I must be an outlier in their stats. I've never been in a major crash, and my driving record is good. Just because I have the potential to take risks, doesn't mean I will. Anyway, back to the argument at hand. It's a biological fact that men posses better depth perception and generally better vision. It's also fact that women have a better perception of color and have a lot better visual memory. Which one of these affect your driving? The color of the car in front of you or the distance from it? I believe that males have the driving ADVANTAGE, but this doesn't mean it's going to be used. In a situation with two identical personality types, the male will most likely be the better driver, not only due to the visual difference but also the male thought process. We are problem solvers and action takers by nature, a necessity in daily traffic. What do I believe here? EVERYONE sucks at driving. Men because they're too stupid and have an inherent need to kill themselves at high speeds, women because they're easily distracted by pretty colors.I drive a bus for living, and I see WAY too many people that shouldn't have a license. Especially foreigners, but that's another story for another time. Bottom line here: Don't buy a car for your kids at all... Make them earn the money and maybe they will value it more and WON'T make stupid decisions on the road. Quote Selected

Women Shouldent own Turbo Coupes? Reply #54 – June 23, 2007, 08:59:58 PM Actually, when women get over their fear insincts, they lose that fear completely. When men get over it, they always have doubt ie. some fear. So technically, women make better drag racers than men. Quote Selected

We are problem solvers and action takers by nature, a necessity in daily traffic.Actually, women usually think of the consequences before doing things, more so than men do. Most women are usually more careful about what they are doing, whether it be driving or cooking, whatever. Men have a tendency to to take more risks than women do, therefore having a tendency to drive faster, and a little more reckless. I'm not being shagist or anything, it's just the way men and women are made. There are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part thats how it is. I don't believe it has much to do with what either sees better than the other. I think it's more about how we are made. Quote Selected
Women Shouldent own Turbo Coupes? Reply #56 – June 24, 2007, 09:05:18 AM I'm not trying to say that your daughter is like most statistics Jim but girls insurance rates are catching up to mens (at least here in ohio) because they are doing the dumb shiznit that males do. Im not going to lie i have 5 tickets under my belt for doing some of the dumbest shiznit around and my insurance payments reflect that. Personally and i have told my father this i think that the 87 cougar was too much for me to handle (for a first car)at 18 for 4 reasons.#1: I was 18#2: It was Rwd#3: 150 hp#4: I knew that i would be stupid with it.Im not trying to tell you how to run your daughters life hell if you think she can handle it f*ck what everyone else says here she sure as hell is not our daughter she is yours. Considering that she is 19 that must mean that your around 45 or so im sure you know whats good or not for your daughter you have known her for 19 years ;). Quote Selected

Make them earn the money and maybe they will value it more and WON'T make stupid decisions on the road.Good points (and depth perception would be 'how we are made' LittleAngel) but I bought my first car. Luckilly the only thing I could aford and had access to at the time was my parent's Subaru Justy. I bought it, payed to have the engine rebuilt before I could even drive it, and do you think I went easy on it? No. I was still a 17 year old boy. I beat on that car, rallying it on logging roads when I had the chance (it had a full time 50:50 4X4) until the brakes literally fell off it. I was late for church one morning and took off as quick as the little I3 could push. When I parked it that day, after I got home, the brakes failed. Nothing. I pumped them until they finally locked solid. Later I noticed something on the ground across the road. Severelly worn brake pads; metal being worn off and 'liping' over the edge of the base plate.The same goes for my second car, to be honest. I was more careful with that, since I spent a good amount of money fixing the VW and didn't want to have to do any more for a long time. Even still, I had it up to terminal velocity a few times on the Trans Canada, loved to do the one legged burnout, and e-brake slides on back roads. When I think back to some of the cliffs on those roads....... well let's just say I get a fever thinking about any child of mine pulling such a stupid stunt. Quote Selected

She is working for a collection company as a receptionist! She has her own 2000 Kia Sephia that she bought and got her own financing (built her credit herself with us cosigning for her credit line at LesSchwab for tires on her Nissan Maxxima beater she started with that SHE bought for $400) she pays her own insurance and has moved out and has her own apartment. Actually she wouldn’t want a Turbo Coupe with 19psi of boost she would rather have a Civic because there “cute”!! I simply mentioned in another thread while talking about the value of another members car that IF I was buying his car like some normal dude out buying a car for his daughter… Quote From a generic car buyer (not a bird enthusiast) like looking for a car for my teenage daughter..... so what my daughter has to do with all this is I said “Like looking for a car for my daughter” And I was met with a comment from Daboss351 Quote and who in there right mind is gonna look at a car running 19 psi of boost for there daughter! unless they wanted her to crash! not to mention its a stick![/COLOR]So as not to Hijack the other thread I started this one directed to Daboss351 and DakotaEpic that I disagree, a pen 15 is NOT required to operate a car with 19psi of boost or a Stick. Somehow these two gentlemen think having a pen 15 makes them better qualified to operate a performance car than somebody without a pen 15. Quote Selected
