Problem is with all these mods if that you're never going to get your money back, and if you do decide to sell it, the mods make it clear that the person who's had it has thrashed the shit out of it.
And after all that, if you can't make that many horses do everything you need on the street, then you seriously don't know how to drive it, or you're just arseholing around (in which case get off the streets).
Be wary of any type of radar detection device that might tell you where cop cars are. If you're caught with it, your arse will be grass. If it's just a radio scanner, then that's OK. If it's radar detector, you'll be in a whole new world of shit.
don't put peoples lives at risks, defensive driving? you have been driving for like 2 years!

lol, Dave, I believe you have found the primer validating your perspective.
Cemetery is full of young blokes that think the same thing. You're almost old enough to start burying some of your mates who were all pretty good drivers who thought the same stupid thing. If you don't have a healthy fear of what the engine under you is capable of doing to you at the worst possible time, then one day you're going to learn the hard way. Or your parents will, when they bury you.
Defensive driving courses aren't there to teach you how to thrash a car. They do seem to lull kids into a sense of security that they think they know how to control 1 1/2 tons of metal when it's out of control. When you've had a tyre blow out at 100km/hr and send you sideways, you get a whole new respect for speed, and just how close you are to being a passenger in your own car. No amount of defensive driving skill does shit when you're sideways at that speed. In the second or two that you're a passenger trying to control something that can't be controlled, you find yourself wondering whats going to stop you. Perhaps it'll flip, maybe you'll take out a car coming the other way.. or a truck. Maybe it'll send you off the road into a tree. Will you die instantly, or are you going to lay there in agony and spend a few hours dying? All while that's going through your head, you're trying to take back control of something that despite your understanding of physics, you know is pretty much impossible.
Then there's what happens after it. And there's a lot of things you really didn't think about until you've experienced it.
I skipped the p plate thing, didn't even know it existed in Vic till years later.
Yeah, bought a Falcon yet Dynamic :D
Yeah he bought this. We just happened to add the finishing touch on it over night!
