4) Kid wrecks car multiple times and doesnt car because he has a few Suprs at home to drive anyway.

Yeah, i think its understandable to be jealous of anyone in that position. I dont think i know anyone who wouldn't want to have endless money to modify a car and not worry about things going wrong, thats why many try to get sponsors. I think a better word is envy... i sure as hell would love to be in that position.
Well said.

The problem is that Nick is at nowhere near the level of the racers. If his daddy wasn't Hulk, they would've laughed him off the track. He be at that level one day, but no time soon I would guess.

He should have to earn it like all the others. But this is one of the issues I have with D1 anyways.

Skill & experience > money & fame
