I took my boys (9 and 2 years old) to the Cars and Coffee this last Saturday. The On ramp to the hwy was lined with people watching the cars hammer the throttle coming around the corner to go up the ramp. We stayed clear knowing these kind of things happen.

Exactly right Chris.
Especially with these new school high powered cars. Turn the "nannies" off and you'll find yourself either spun around or in a ditch.

Totally agree Tones. Dealers don't discriminate upon selling an overly powered vehicle to anybody. Cars and trucks don't seem to be getting any slower either. To make matters worse, we have a "video game" generation of young adults coming along, who don't understand that actions breed consequences.

Ive seen responsible great drivers make the same mistake. Doesn't help with these by standers egging them on.
