I thought there was something that described us as a club and our "policies" or thoughts on public displays on the cover page or in the newbie sticky post, but I can't find it in an obvious place.

I apologize if I was a bit harsh, and I do encourage you to come out and drive with us at Solo or PDX events and see what we are talking about and learn to drive in a relatively safe environment.

I teach Teen driving and just last weekend had to go over the statistics for a presentation which are absolutely terrifying and when I hear somebody "showing off" to what I assumed was a kid or young adult, it pissed me off. Auto accidents are the number 1 killer of teens and the odds double when there is another teen in the car...

I was also the event chairman for a hill climb where we had a double fatality that we can only assume was an overconfident driver showing off for his fiancee's best friend in the passenger seat. How tragic is that? I can only imagine that it might have been been worse is if he had survived...

So, enjoy your new car, but remember it is not a toy. Come out and join us, learn about your new car and maybe a bit about how to drive it. We will not hold this post against you if you understand where we are coming from.
