yeap. i was "spoiled" growing up. But i didnt act like some of the pricks that i knew growing up. Some of them acted like there crap didnt stink.

i was lucky. my parents were well off. While i did buy all my cars (1980 accord for $50 was the first one!) i had the blessing of the fact that my dad ownes a car dealership.


But i had most stuff i wanted. i was able to race go-carts, race motorcross i had almost every video game thing out etc. But i did work around the house etc.

You're right, I'm not the one to judge him, and you're not the one to judge me either.

I'm sure it was a greater experience for the covert-op team of programmers in germany that worked for you, yo!

It was indeed a great experience for them. They did the work for me for free because they put it down as a part of their resume.

Is that something like the Sasquatch and Yeti?

I drove responsibly as a teenager. Most of my friends did also. On the other hand, I have friends who are now 22, 29, and 34..and still drive like morons. I'm just saying not all teen boys drive like bats out of hell.

Same here. I am 17 and like to think I drive pretty responsibly. I never go more than 7 over the speedlimit, usually only 5 and don't change lanes like a maniac, nor do I speed in any pedestrian area or parking lot. However, the same can't be said for some kids I know at school. I wonder WHEN then will wreck, cause it will happen.

Your a Herb.
