whats defensive driving?

2010_5thgen

take turns alot faster? no $hit it can, it has a lower center of gravity.
defensive driving teaches you how to drive. basically how to handle a sliding scenario,skidding, losing control, over/understeer. theres gotta be a track around you in michigan somewhere. if not go to Mid Ohio race track. http://www.midohio.com/School/Courses/Defensive-Driving

I think the nearest appropriate track to Portland would be Grattan Raceway, which is in Belding, MI. It's a kickass track.

Rev294

If you want to run it, you can do it. Work hard in school, and learn as much as you can. When not in school, work for/with your Dad. Keep your eyes and ears open, and ask good questions. Keep the ego (not personal, we all have them) in check.

i guess your right it sucks though my parents dont want me to go to collage which i want the experiance of it just sounds so fun and stuff they expect me to go straight from high school to the construction site and my dad said im starting at the bottom off the peakin order so i learn everything there is to learn about construction

even if your planning on taking the company over, and they have said this to you, you still should have some schooling in business management.....and maybe spelling....college is spelled with 2 e's

Rev294

i asked my parents if i should and they said they dont teach u really anything there and that i can learn it all by workin for them

2010_5thgen

thats the same thing i thought. and part of that is true. but what happens if the companies goes under? your going to be a 30 year old man, with no college background and trapped......trust me...thats how im feeling right now.

Rev294

i know thats what i dont think they get and well i was scared because the labor unions have been hurassing us to join a union and my parents said they dont want to join something thats failing and it doesnt matter now last week my mom was invited to watch the governer sign the bill to make pla illeigal so now we dont have to join a labor union and we even took a vote in are company and asked if they wanted to join a union they said no

I have a 95 cherokee with a 4.0L straight 6 bored to 4.7L with an turbo and its pushing 526hp to the crank and sounds a lot more nasty than my 2011 SS. That thing is a beast in the mud and it still smokes those ricers on the street with 35inch mudders and kid if i were you I would have as much fun as I could in high school. Once you get out it's more work and less play. My advice is enjoy what your parents have given you and don't complain about not having a V8. I did two deployments to Afghanistan and those people over there are lucky to even have cars, i mean he!! a lot of poeple in our own country can't even afford to buy the things you were given. So just go out there and have fun and stay out of trouble.

Why not go to college to study Construction Management?

FWIW, I worked in construction (from the bottom-up) part-time during hs and college and full-time during my summer breaks. It helped focus me to earn my degree in Civil Engineering with a Construction Management concentration.

In other words... why not do both (work and go to college) and make both you and your parents happy?
