There is still no excuse for that kind of language. That's what the filters are for I guess. Not that I agree with people judging his driving abilities as I had a friend that owned his Rustang since he was 16....boy could he drive at 23 hehe.

ONe thing I've noticed over the many years I've been driving: Most people think they are great drivers.
Another thing I've noticed over the many years I drove trucks, including everything from 10 wheel dump trucks to 40+ wheel double hookups, is that most people don't know their *** from a hole in the ground when it comes to driving.
When NASCAR teams are scouting you, or CART teams or F1 teams or WoO teams, you can call yourself a good driver. After you've driven for 20 years without any major incidents (preferable none) you can call yourself a good driver. After you've successfully made a living driving a truck for 5 years, you can call yourself a good driver.
Anther thing to note here is that good driving is very different depending on the situation. It takes one set of skills to survive on the road, and it takes another set of skills to do well on a race track, and don't forget that there are many different disciplines practised on race tracks, each requiring a different set of skills.
If you go into the project thinking you are great, and that you have nothing to learn, you will probably learn the hard way that there was a lot more to learn than you were aware. Hopefully you won't end up dead, before you learn that.
I was also a very responsible young lad once. Held down two jobs, Made all my own payments. Did all my own mods etc. However, when I got behind the wheel, it seemed I always developed an attitude. To my mind, I wasn't copping an attitude I was simply right. I wrecked a lot of cars, and frankly, it's a miracle I'm alive today, it's a miracle I never killed anyone, because I knew it all, I drove like an idiot, and I wouldn't listen to anyone.
Live and learn.
But, be aware, these cars are ferociously dangerous when mishandled, and they are not very forgiving either.
Good luck.
