Got my 8 three weeks ago and my dad took it away today because I burned it out. :[[


What to do!?

 

does he own it?

 

Get a Schwinn?

 

You burned it out... Infront of him? How old are you? 0_o

My dad saw me kick my tail out around a corner once, thankfully he doesn't have the power to take it away :D

 

I pulled a hard launch, then later spun out with my dad in the passenger seat one time... I think I almost made him soil himself!

Unfortunately, he didn't want to go for another run.

This was, of course, at an autocross event. YMMV with your father.

 

grow up

 

rowshambow him for the keys back???? or just tell him its peer pressure and everyone is doing it.

 

Tell him you accidentally turned off the traction control?

Man, I saw the thread title and assumed it was stolen. Be careful, an 8 may not be the best first sports car by a long shot... But hey, if you respect the fact that the car can outrun you you'll be alright.

 

My dad raised me to be a car nut. At 12 years old he would let me steer the car while on his lap as he worked the gas and brakes. He would show me how to do donuts, 360's, and J-Turns. When I was 19, he bought me my first car (97' Honda Civic Si). He took me to a exhaust shop to have the muffler cut out! LOL.

I'm much older now (31) and he is too, but when we take out my 8 and his Cayman S we rip it on late night drives. He laughs when I drift the Porsche, and often tell me he'll take good care of her so I can keep her as a classic in the future. LOL

Growing up doesn't have to be boring and dad's don't always have to be square. Have fun with your dad but know his limits and abide by them, it's a respect thing.

 

Don't feed the troll

 

 

Haha I appreciate all the feed back... It's really made my day.

He found out from a picture via myspace.

And I'm 15 so no... I won't grow up. It isn't time for that yet. I was psyched when I got it. But he paid the bill up front no questions asked. (For a steal I might add)

 

Growing up +1. Young, dumb and full of c....You get the idea.

 

just tell him your a dumb **** who doesnt know what he's doing, and all you can do is say sorry and hope he forgives you for being the dumb **** you know you are now?

 

technically if you're 15 you shouldn't have been driving the car without him in it...that could also be a reason that he got mad at you, and took the car away.

 

take the school bus

 

Just tell him your sorry and you know what you did is stupid. You'll be surprised how far that goes.

 

or you could do this.

 

Yeah I dont want to see a 15 year old out on the road driving in the first place. Say thanks to your dad for me.

 

Yah... I agree. This is definitely way too much car for 15yr old. Ask your Dad to put the 8 in storage and pick up a 200sx for you to learn on. They're cheap, fun, and a lot less likely to kill you.

 

Learn a lesson.

No street racing.

 

One less organ donor, damn...

 

yeah dude... or an FC! ..well... actually... yeahh... a N/A fc would be good. cause at least its a rotary.... my first car was an eclipse .... YUCK

 

BTW Guys, you can get a restricted DL in Idaho at 15.

Ya don't do things where he'll find out. Let this be a lesson for you to not to post anything on Myspace that can cause trouble in the future. This includes future employers or law enforcement.
I did some stupid (not serious) things when I was a teen. My father found out about some of them. You know they were wrong, but you do them anyway. Then, you have to pay the price.

 

be careful or you'll turn into this kid.
