My first "hi-po car" was my 442 which I still have, but I was 23 at the time. Only scared the **** out of myself about 3 or 4 times until I learned how to drive ... and I've been driving on the roads (alone, I might add) since I was 13 years old. Yes, I was a big kid!
Josh - keep safe and hurry home.

thanks, I would agree that at 24 I'm not a kid. I was just replying to the "nobody 16-25 should own a cobra" post. there are still alot of immature drivers out there at 21. I wonder sometimes if it would be safer to allow drinking at 16 and driving at 21. If you could drink at 16.. maybe by 21 you would have it all out of your system and would know better than to drive drunk!
This is where I have faulted! My first year in the Air Force.. 19yrs old stationed in Tokyo Japan. $25, all you can drink, all night clubs, no real drinking age off base. Legal limit .03. I blew .052. Since it was on base, it never went on a driving record luckily for me! I very rarely drink anymore! Maybe a couple drinks in teh garage on a weekend. And NEVER drive after drinking. It's just not worth it! It's insane to look back at how much I've matured in the last 6-7 years now that I'm married with a daughter and don't have that.. who cares attitude!
