I would make sense to blame the accident on racing if he was driving recklessly. But going 80 on the freeway is nothing, i drive that fast all the time. Getting cut off by some guy going 50 and not being able to stop in time is an entirely dif. story. And there's a difference between being spoiled and well off. Face it some families make a lot more income than others. Why would they get their kids cheaper cars when their income allows them to get a better one. Just cause someone's parents get their kids a MB or BMW doesn't make them spoiled.

#2 - a 20 year old going 20 mph over the posted speed limit is "reckless" in my book in any case.
#3 - a 20 year old going 20 over the posted speed limit WHILE RACING should get their license suspended, if not by the state, then by RESPONSIBLE PARENTS who are footing the bills, for at LEAST 6 months, followed by letting the kid buy their own car with whatever money they have saved up since they showed no ability to take care of the first one that was given to them. If the 20 year old doesn't like that, then they can move out, buy their own car AND their own insurance and pay for school.
But all that may be a little harsh. I mean we're only talking LIFE and DEATH here
PS- How about editing the title of this thread to remove the word "my"?
PSS- And you guy's are gonna have to do better than pick on the undisputed #1 luxury car brand if you want to get under my skin

I realize i was driving stupid and will never do it again, i learned a huuuge lesson and no one got hurt. In fact the guy i hit got a **** load of money for it, so he's better off now.
I respect what my parents are able to get me and i respect what my dad does (you have no idea how hard he works) to afford these things, and i consider myself extremely lucky and i cant explain how grateful i am
I also respect people that work for their own cars, and work hard to get their c class or to even pay for their hondas
What i dont respect is bitter/jealous/less fortunate sons of *****es that have no idea who i am and have no clue how grateful i am for these things or what it takes my family to get them. Especially when they continue to make stupid *** comments just cause i drive something as nice/nicer than what they drive and im 20
Im a full time student, and even though i dont need to, i still hold a part time job to help with some extra expenses and to give me some responsibility
Its sooo funny how in every single forum there is a handful of people who automatically attack the "spoiled" kids. Attack me all you want, thats great. I respect whatever is it you do and if you choose to still be offended cause of the benefits that comes with my dad working his *** off. Congrats on being a bitter closed minded ***
I wont say anything else on this topic, just had to get my side out there
And for all of those that welcomed me kindly, thank you and its great being here!

Sorry Jim, you're not the one making laws here... thank god. 20 over the speed limit is not reckless driving. Reckless driving is either double the speed limit or on the freeways, over 100mph.
The Lexus GS is a very fine car though, you got me there .

Lexus = #1 Toyota...that's just IMO.I have to say the new GS is a very nice car indeed, but I'd get a GS if they were named Aristo and $20k cheaper like they should be when they are sold in Japan.
jokes aside, Jim, do you honestly believe what you said? You are saying them like you've never raced anyone on impulse when you were young?

I stuck "reckless driving" into google and the first state that popped up was Va...
Reckless driving - speeding in excess of 80 mph (11 years)
Reckless driving - speeding 20 mph or more above the posted speed limit (11 years)
Reckless driving - racing (11 years)
He was doing all this (and probably a few improper lane changes too). Throw in the fact that he caused and wreck in the process and guess how many years he could've received had he been in Va.?

ok wtf?? years? for speeding?, the worst offense while driving is a DWI and thats only a 7 month suspension? Even driving without a liscense is a slap on the wrist and thats putting more people in danger than anything else. You only see jail time if your a repeat offenser and the jail time is minimal. where the hell are you getting 11 years for wreckless drivng. Hell I got a ticket going 75 in a 35 (country road not residential) and all I got was 2 points and 150$ fine. I guess thats jersey for ya.
On a lighter note SWEET RIDE!

It was directly cut/paste from VA's legal webpage. I believe the years are what you COULD receive.

From my experience, here in cali reckless driving is only double the speed limit and going over 100mph. That's when the cops can actually arrest you for reckless driving. Everything else has been speeding tickets. I've never heard in my life that someone got reckless driving for going 20mph over the posted speed limit.

Heh well racing is a whole dif story... i was mainly talking about just speeding. The 10 freeway isn't really a good place to race at. Just wondering, how did BOTH of you get pulled over? Was there more than 1 cop?
