2 summers at a job to buy a new X. Good job for a kid.

Will, thanks for driving insurance rates up on teens so I can struggle covering my son when he turns 16 next year.

Driving 100+ on roads back east....I can't fathom it. My speed governor kicks in at 92mph in my 2002 Xterra. That was on a long stretch of straight deserted Arizona highway. Once.

Next time you go somewhere, time yourself - once driving like a maniac, and once again driving normally and within speed limits. You'll likely find you didn't save that much time and the lives you risked really aren't worth that 15 minutes you saved.

I won't jump all over you...enough other people already did that. I'm just telling you that as a young driver, you need to think about what could be the consequences of your actions. I had a couple bad wrecks when I was your age. It took that to put some sense into me. Hopefully you take this constructively and don't make a mistake you'll regret or one that gets you or someone else killed first before you realize that 100 mph in a boxy SUV is a stupid idea.
