I'm going to be like this guy on dr phil! He put a chip in his son's car that tracked his speeds and he went ~103mph 3 times.

Son's response?

"blahb lah blah waaaa waaaa waaaa"

"All my friends do it"

"I'm driving safe even if its at 100mph"

Kid's friend - "We're driving 100mph but we're still safe"

Ok so that first one wasn't entirely true.

Holy hell dr phil has a Ferrari 360 Modena Spider. Sweet.

No wonder my car insurance was so high in the past...

Are you watching Dr. Phil??!
 
I only tried it once :cry: :cry:
 
Are all your friends doing it too? If all your friends were to started watching Oprah would you start too?
 
No sir!:frown:
 
Watching Dr. Phil can lead to the harder stuff, Springer, Regis etc. Stuff you REALLY don't want to get into.
