You know I have been telling his dumb a$$ to just chill out and wait till he has the money to do it right but he keeps on, well today at school he was revving the crap out of this poor truck (easy 3000+) and something inside let go. I have been telling him its not a race car but he don't listen. Maybe now he will.

Well, I guess he chose the most expensive smoke he could find. At least you tried, some just have to learn the hard way.

I disagree, this kid sounds like a real dummy. Probably has never changed the oil or checked it and probably hammers the chit out of it when he drives it. Freewheeling a motor that is redlined at what, 3500? I'm not going to go out and look is real stupid. He got just what he deserved. His daddy will probably bail him out. School, must be high school, but he was acting like grammar school maybe. It's his fathers fault in the first place.

The OP said college so I wonder if ain't the whiskey talking or in this case the driving. But, Mark is right if he is abusing it like that he probably didn't pay for it.

Yeah he just got out high school, and I am pretty sure daddy pays for everything. I believe he had about 200g on the clock but he does hamme the crap out of that poor truck. I have seen regular redline and above shifts from him and 3000 clutch drops. He is always hammering it on the track and I have never heard him utter a word about PM on the poor thing. Trying to tell the kid anything though is like, so he got what was comming to him. I mean I tried to help him get what he wants out of it but he just wants to screw around maybe they should buy him a honda I mean thats more up the acting a fool alley
