So, vehicular homicide. Besides being in big trouble she has to live with it for the rest of her life.

Yeh, me too. I bought a grey market 5 speed 16 valve Mercedes and I ran it up to 120 mph out on I60 between Lake City and Jacksonville but there wasn’t a soul in sight and I only did it for about 30 seconds.

I don't know if it was the one you speak of but my high school in MA had just such a display back in the early 80s.

My friend Alan was driving the car. He and one of his passengers were killed while "celebrating" the night before graduation day.

You don’t understand kids and cars

I don't? That's funny, as you have no clue, zip, zero of my background. Btw, if ya don't think some teens can kill themselves just as easy in a beater as opposed to a nice car, you still have no clue whatsoever.

It don’t matter what rifle they have. Some kid could recklessly point a 22. at your head and put your lights out just as easy as an AR can.

It’s not the gun, it’s the person using the gun. Just like in cars...lol.

You need to get out more.

“in a beater as opposed to a nice car, “

beater vs nice car? That is not the discussion.

True. I can only judge you based on your posts.

What question is that?

You’re the guy who thinks a young stupid fool can’t kill someone with a low caliber rifle....Don’t be stupid.

Lemme get this straight, You think if this kid were driving at 80 mph in a Prius, they wouldn’t have killed the motorcyclist? This shit happens all the time slick.

You’re confused.

In college I drove a '67 Dodge. It was a BEAST of a car, positively the biggest on campus. Got some admiration from a few of the faculty, especially the history department. But my friends and I had a lot of fun riding in that thing. It was truly a classic vehicle.

I wouldn't have taken a brand new BMW for the memories I had in that Dodge.

ANY car can kill someone, but SOME cars are much more likely to get a young driver in trouble. The margin for error at 150 mph is very small.

That 18 year-old in Washington - this was his third totaled car in 11 months.

There is video of one of his crashes (where he hit another car) and the cop is saying something like “Well, it was a stupid mistake, you were going way too fast - but it’s just cars.”

I’ll compare the credibility of my posts against yours any day.

You have no clue here. Most young teens don’t have $85,000 cars yet they kill themselves and a whole lot of people in used beaters...All the time...
