I definitely consider him when it comes to what I want next, I had no problems with the G35 and suprisingly the two coupe is pretty safe. But now that he's getting older something like an M5, E55, or RS4 appeals to me more than the GT-R.

It probably is a maturity thing, I saw a guy post up about his friend that died in a street race. He said his friend was experienced and knew what he was doing but still managed to kill himself and his girlfriend during a race. All I can see is someone trying to explain to my son how or why his father isn't around any more and its enough to make me change my view on certain things. Will I criticize? No, I still have friends that do it and if they put their life on the line to get from point A to point B faster than the next guy that is on them, personally I'm just not getting it any more.

My fascination with speed is not gone, I guess what I see as rational has changed.
