what car doesn't have that potetnial? maybe more of a potential but then again it also has more features to make the car more controlable so is there now less of a potential. I bet if you hit something in a ford fiesta at 65, you'd be in more of a hurt locker than if you did so in the STI. Where did the rule that you cant go to college and have an STI come from.
IMO to many people have theses stupid ideas of "pay your dues" whenever someone gets something they didn't. 17-18 yr olds in an STI, why...because they can why is it your buisiness, don't begrudge someone a good deal.

 

we not care tho we now have concern for quality of our education sistem.... i cant spell and i have no sense of grammar but i drive sti just fine thank you...

 

But you can't generalize like that so much. When I was 19 years old, I had a Honda S2000 and an Audi S4. I didn't crash either of them, nor did I drive them like I was on crack, endanger anyone's life with my stupidity, etc. Not all kids behave that way. What you have to understand is that a lot of these kids are running their mouths, so it's nothing to get worried about. I'm in a local car club, and I think every kid from age 18-21 is talking about getting an Evo or an STi. It's easy to talk about, looking at the within-reach high $20k-low $30k price tag. Sure, some of them have parents that might end up footing the bill, just like they did for their Civic Sis, but the ones that are going to take that step toward fiscal responsibility and buy their own don't see far enough ahead to realize the $800/mo payments (lack of cash for a down payment) and the $300/mo insurance that will surely follow on such a statistically dangerous machine. In that respect, very few of them will actually get one when the time comes because they'll wake up and realize how much they cost... these are the smart ones. The kids that do get them, well, you might see them putting nitrous and boost controllers on their machines, blowing them up and then getting their warranties voided, and being up the creek with a broken car, wondering if it was worth all the hype. The few that quietly drive past in the machines that they worked hard for? They slip through the cracks, and that was the camp I was in when I had my S4 and S2000.

So I guess to make a long story short, not all of the teenagers that end up with those nice machines deserve to be treated like they don't deserve them. Bear in mind, however, that a lot of kids that order them won't have the means to afford the cars when they get here, and 90% of the ones that talk about getting an STi or Evo never even order them. They also talked about getting a WRX when it came out, or even shot as high as getting an E46 ///M3. The kids who get whatever they want thanks to their monied parents... well, they get their comeuppance when they blow up their engines and trannies and need to come up with $10,000 to fix them.

'Nuff said.

 

I actually, I did pay for my education while I had both rides. I made too much money at the time. And I soon realized that there were much better things to do with it. The result is that I sold both cars. Life is better now
