Thanks for your sympathies and advice (more) and no, I'm not 16, I'm 31.

some of those recent (and not so recent) posts chastizing some people for "being too young to get a nice car" or "being able to afford too much, espec. for a young person."<p>I would have posted the targets, but enough space has been wasted by the Self-Proclaimed Society Of Judgement Cuz We Say So.

I'm 19, my A4 was a hand-me-down from my mother...(97 2.8Q). I've noticed that while driving other teenagers in cars have one of two attitudes towards me.<br>(1) They acknowledge that the car is nice, stare a little and smile...OR<br>(2) Act like jack@$$es and try cutting me off, etc. with there POS. (not trying to incite anything here.)<br>The most recent and worst incident of this was when an early 80's brown rusty Camry filled with teens like myself tried cutting me off on a turn, didn't succeed, then cut in front of me. I was behind them up until a stoplight. They then sped off (sped is an operative term here b/c how fast can a 1980s Camry go?!) then slammed on the brakes obviously in an attempt to get me to rear-end them. These people suck. I didn't retaliate though, I simply let the A4 do the talking as I blew by them on the left.<br>Sorry, but this is happening everywhere and it sucks.<br>
