I think the explorer's limiter is a good thing for me. I've hit the limiter at 98mph on highway at night but I know I would go as fast as the car will if the limiter wasn't there. (although I'm not sure if the explorer will even hit 110).

Those are not good cars to go too fast in, with the rollover danger.

Well I only go fast in straight lines (usually). I felt it almost wanting to start to tip over today while tossing it around the field

Not really. Because that would have marked the end of my driving until I get out of the house after highchool.

How bad was the damage to the field?

That type of thing gets done around here sometimes too.? I live right near a high school, and it does happen over there every so often.

I was always more interested in breaking into the school when it was closed, and making some type of huge mess.? :devil:? I never did it, though, and I'm glad I didn't.? :praise:

Umm it's actually not that bad. Obviously nowhere good enough to play soccer or field hockey (our 2 outdoor sports teams at the moment). I would imagine they would have to redo the grass when I completely ruined the ground by sliding around and drifting in a 4000+lb SUV :lol:

Good question. I have no fucking idea. I'm not on either team so .. :huh:  :lol: And the field should be fine for next semester when ultimate season begins and I can actually do something active at school :lol:

Dude if you fucked up a football field and any player found out. Ohh the asswhooping would be delivered a thousand times over. If we had to play on a fucked up field and risk tearing a ligament or muscle your ass would be grass.

Keep that shit secret and pray there arent security cameras.

No security cameras around our school. Too much of a goodie goodie school for that. No football team because we dont have enough white guys in the whole school even to have a starting line up. Like even if they all wanted to play, there wouldn't be enough people for a starting lineup. Actually maybe there will be but I know for sure there wouldn't be enough for a team. Same reason we dont have a hockey team.

Oh man there was shit to be had for that. A rival school fucked up our turf by pouring acid an bleach and toasting our grass to spell out their schools name. Good thing we installed a security system just in case since we had just put in a new 100k field resurface. Those kids were totally fucked and had to pay the entire amount to fix the field, around 15k in total.

Good.  That's a lot better than the taxpayers paying to fix it.  Hearing that restores some of my faith in our system.

Oh those fuckers payed, and payed hard. We all went and TPed their houses, paintballed the shit out of them when they tried to leave their house. One of the dudes on our football team even screwed one of the guys girlfirend. :lol: Its not like they directly payed though, their parents just sprung the cash. They had to learn that there are non monetary consequences to fucking with Hisdale Central.

It's fun to take big risks.  Exhilerating.  I loved to lead a 'double life' as a teenager too.  Make the parents think you're a little angel, and then go out and do some bad things.  Most kids like that.  I sure did.  :praise:

I love taking risks. I've always had a thing for gambling as well (but I know it's retarded to get hooked on it so I dont). I take risks but the key thing is you gotta know when and when not to

Definitely.  I never did the gambling thing much.  I suck at it, so it's not so much a risk for me, as a sure way to lose money.  Certainty is boring.

Gambling is not really my thing either, eventually you'll end up losing and quitting (and thus ending with a loss rather than a profit) because, let's face it, nobody quits while they're up.
