Please advise.

Pretty sure he was talking about my attitude, not my street racing lol. Doesn't make him any less of an asshole, but still...

Yep. Not new and certainly happened even before cars were invented. The majority of street drivers charged or involved in accidents are under the age of 30. This of course is also the age group that feel they are invincible and rules/laws are just guidelines that should not apply if you don't like them.
The big change now it has been glorified and made to appear normal by movies and video games. The difference is when you roll your car in real life you don't just jump out with a cut on the forehead that stops bleeding in 30 second or respawn back on the road to carry on. People die.

I just think it's really funny when GenX folks use millennial as a derogatory term. It's like saying "We did a bad job of being adults/parents/role models and it's all the damn kids' fault!"

Oh, I'm an asshole now? Nice.

Bro, if you think that I used "Millennial" as a real, serious, malicious insult intended to hurt feelings and took actual offense to that, I think you might need to develop a little bit thicker skin dude.

I like to think of it as more a state of mid than a generation. I know plenty of old guys that could be called Millennial.

Ouch, taste of my own medicine lol.

But, you have to admit, your posts do read like someone just trying to dismiss someone based on their age.

You mean like the guys saying that some are just old and lazy so our comments should be ignored?

Yes? I don't think anyone should devalue what someone else says because of their age. If you disagree with what someone says, you should debate the content of what they said, not try to infantilize them (or whatever the equivalent is for older people... geriatricize?) and ignore what they actually said.

hey guys. a bunch of kids just told me to do a burn out at a red light.

I pretended I don't understand English.

Mainly to hide the shame that I have an automatic and I'm no good at modulating the brake pedal to make the rears spin.

/cry

Just tell them you can't because the wheels spin so fast they burst into flames and then explode.

You ever let someone pass you so they can be the bunny instead but then they start driving like a bish?
