having driven a 997 S, 996 turbo, 360 CS, Gallardo LP-560, among many others (not trying to boast here, just stating the caliber of cars) my six years of experience is more than someone else driving a prius for six years

i'm not putting myself on a higher ground either.. simply stating it how it is

and i put emphasis on "practice" drifting because i don't go around city streets scaring people.. i use empty parking lots

people say a lot of things but it doesn't mean they are right.. i say i'm a good driver because many people have acknowledged that.. not because "i think" or "i feel" i am a good driver

you assume too much
i guess youre right that experience does count for quite a bit. its just that i've seen too many people, even those up to 30 yrs of age acting stupid in meets and getting everyone else in trouble (ie passerby's call the cops)... so i guess it takes both experience and responsibility to be a good driver.
