Why don't you buy a used c6 then?

Oh I'm not talking down on my car at all. I love my car and I know what it is and what it's capable of. All I meant was she went through all that and quite possibly ruined her life over a 30k USD car which is basically what a Z is (technically it was a 04' 350Z so it most likely wasn't even 30k USD). I'm in the mindset that if you're gonna do something like that go big and step it up for a 60k+ car. Kind of like robbers who rob small convenience stores and get caught -- if you're gonna take a gamble like that go for the big leagues and rob a bank.

She's 17 and probably just thought her mommy would never do such a thing like calling the police. I fear for my generation of kids sometimes, especially if she is supposed the be an honor student and be smart.

Very high IQ with no common sense? Could be.

It's more common than you think. I work at a university and some of the faculty and graduate students are academically and intellectually brilliant but -- those same brilliant minds tend to lack a lot of common sense and basic social skills. It's like you can only take in so much information before your brain starts emptying away other things...

Hell, sometimes I fall into that category of looking more at the technical than the emotional. Never anything near OP's post, though, lol.

I don't think it's the brain "taking in so much". I just think that some people view things very differently. I have offended the hell out of some people and not "gotten it" until it was explained how THEY viewed what happened, and then was thinking "Damn, I'm a ****."

Happens to the best of us.

I didn't pistol whip anyone for my first car, though, lol

(Then, I only had an old police crown vic. I guess you get what you put into something).
