Bike or Car?

I currently own a 1992 Toyota Celica it is a P.O.S. and yes a rice burner, very slow 18.1 quarter mile, loud muffler the works but I want to get something faster I am trying to decide if buying a sport bike ( CBR F3 ) would result in my death? Or… would buying a faster car like a 2nd generation RX7 turbo II would be a better choice for me? I am 17 years old and I like going fast, but think I understand the risk involved. Any suggestions cause I have to get rid of that thing in my driveway

Re: Bike or Car?

I would get a car personally, or maybe keep the piece of crap, and save up for a house or college, that`s what i did and look at me now lol, anyways that`s you`r choice, it`s just what i did, but i saved up and went to college now i have basicly a fleet of fast cars, lol if you want nice things work hard in college, or buy real estate, trust me it pays of.
