    I wonder if they will bring up this section in court......

    In my silver Viper, I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, “Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.” Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph]. Another highway patrol from the same county said, “I just heard on the radio that my buddy pulled you over and let you go. I’ma let you go this time. It’s your second warning. You get pulled over again, you’re probably going to go to jail.” Three minutes later, [I was] doing 123 [mph] in a 50 [mph zone]. The guy is like, “Hey, I just heard you got pulled over twice in the last 10 minutes. I got to write you a ticket.”

    The Hulk’s son, Nick Hogan, Drives his Whips like he ain’t got nothing to lose but grip.

    Story by Brian “B.Dot” Miller /// Photography Jared Ryder

    Nick Hogan’s got a drinking problem. Don’t worry, it’s not the kind that involves hangovers or anonymous meetings—rather, it’s an undeniable thirst for everything fast. Just after earning his license last July, Hulk’s youngest maniac became Dodge’s youngest professional drift driver. But Nick’s been in the game for years. Matter of fact, the 16-year-old VH1 star of Hogan Knows Best knew his way around a clutch before reaching his 10th birthday. A modifying maven, he recently added what he calls his “breadwinner,” a limited-edition 800hp supercharged Dodge Viper, to a convoy of nine that already includes two 700-plus-horsepowered Toyota Supras and an additional 550hp Viper. The streets ain’t safe no mo’.

    The paint jobs on your Viper and Supra are literally bananas. What gives?
    My dad had red and yellow, so I didn’t want to copy. I’ve always liked yellow—it’s so obnoxiously loud. I like all my **** really loud. The Supra flew under the radar, so I was like, nah, I’ma be loud. I wanted to build [a] Supra, [and they] never come from the factory to America in yellow, so I was like, I’ma do it, and I’m a be different.

    You also decided to buy two of each. What makes these cars that fresh?
    The Supra, for the era it came out and the crowd it appeals to, is like the god of the import tuners. I like the way the Supra looks, and the potential that they have is just unbelievable. I started driving for Dodge last year, so I got into the drift Viper and fell in love with it. I went and I bought the silver one and started building it. I picked up the yellow one last year. The Viper looks similar to the Supra with its long front end and short back—the hatchback look. Both of the Vipers have custom steering for drifting. I changed the whole steering angle and everything.

    So you added some American muscle to your stable, but why the Viper over, let’s say, a ’Vette?
    Viper is direct competition with a Z06 ’Vette, and for a while, I wanted to get into a Z06 ’Vette, but how often do you see a Corvette? I think the Viper has so much more of a presence than a ’Vette does, and the way they’re put together, they can handle ungodly horsepower. The ’Vette has all the electronic stability. I mean, a skilled driver can drive with no traction control. Only thing electronic on the Viper is the turn signal and the radio. Everything is on the driver.

    Wow, these must break necks when riding down Ocean Drive.
    The yellow Supra and yellow Viper are ***** magnets for sure. I mean, the green and the silver appeal more to men, ’cause a guy knows what he’s looking at and will drool over it. But girls see the yellow, and panties start dropping off.

    Jeez, talk about a flashy color. Anyway, most 16-year-olds haven’t had enough practice yet to become a pro drifter.
    [Laughs] Let’s just say I have a terrible driving record.

    Uh-oh. Looks like someone has a story to tell.
    In my silver Viper, I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, “Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.” Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph]. Another highway patrol from the same county said, “I just heard on the radio that my buddy pulled you over and let you go. I’ma let you go this time. It’s your second warning. You get pulled over again, you’re probably going to go to jail.” Three minutes later, [I was] doing 123 [mph] in a 50 [mph zone]. The guy is like, “Hey, I just heard you got pulled over twice in the last 10 minutes. I got to write you a ticket.”

    Ahhh, the benefits of celebrity life.
    In the green car, I’ve dusted an Enzo. The look on the guy’s face when he got beat by a three-liter Toyota was pretty cool. The yellow car just stomped out a new Lambo LP640. The silver Viper is the slowest one I have, but it beats Gallardos. Driving a Viper, I have to fill up [on gas] every 50 miles. I’ll get on the bridge and smash the gas, and just as fast as I watch the speed wind up, I can watch the gas gauge drop.

    Do you race the other members of Team Hogan?
    We always go out and run each other. My sister definitely can’t keep up, especially with the busted rear bumper [points to a dent on Brooke’s Expedition]. My mom has a V12 Mercedes-Benz 600. My dad’s pride and joy is a ’68 Charger; it’s got 800 horsepower.

    Miami is known for its Donks and Bubbles. Ever thought about scraping the sky instead of the concrete?
    I like ’em, but I can’t really get into them. I can’t really see myself in one. If I was going to get anything old-school, it would be a ’63 or ’64 Impala on Daytons sitting on the ground.

    I doubt the second cop said anything that started with I'ma. Unless it was Mr. T. after filming a scene from Rocky 3 when Sly got the fool beat out of him by Hulk. Donks, bubbles, fresh, I'ma.... Must be code for something.
    Nick should learn this one: I'ma be from a dope broke family after this fresh spinout at 120.

    It is a hearsay story though. Which part is even remotely correct? This is an 18 year old, with a huge ego about one-upping everyone, even in his family. During an interview, do you think there could be an ounce of BS? Or maybe all of it.

    It appears that Nick is learning that his "celebrity" status cuts both ways. He didn't seem to mind all of the attention when he was interviewing for magazines and racing cars. It's hardly fair to expect the attention to go away now that he's thrust himself into the spotlight again under much more negative circumstances.

    True. And to say that Nick would not intentionally hurt one of his friends is not saying much. Who would other than a total psychopath? Sorry, Nick bought the negativity with his grandiose self-image that he spewed about in the interview.

    First let me thank you for such a mature response. I must ask are you 12?

    Im sorry that I respect some one who can still wake up in the morning after and accident like this not knowing if one of your best friends will be alive or dead tomorow. Like I said my freind was in a simmilar situation so I know partially what hes going threw. He shouldnt of gotten this much attetion over a freaking accident if it was anyone else they wouldnt. What happened to the guy who crashed the enzo at 130 on one of those rallys? Did he have millions of threads made about him? Hell no. Nick is a KID hes 17 years old. Im sure you were perfect as a 17 year old? Think again.


    Im done with these threads

    What's the deal with you and Nick. Did he chat with you once on a forum and now you're infatuated with him? Think you're best buds or something? Think he'd give two cups of piss if the situation were reversed and you had the accident?

    Nick nearly (and still might have) KILLED someone. Do you get it? He nearly KILLED someone. I don't care if he's 17 or 70, taking a life is a VERY BIG DEAL. Until you realize this, you're going to continue to get bashed just like Nick.

    Uh yeah! Every time a Porsche, Lambo or Ferrari crash at high speeds, it makes the rounds on the internet along with videos and pictures. The fact that this Bozo is 17 just adds fuel to the fire.

    Did you not read what I said? My friend was in an accident where he was going at an illegal speed lost control of his car and killed his passanger. I would of only stuck up for him if some one was talking bad about my friend. Do you think Nick wanted to do this? The kid is one of his best friends. I relize that taking a life is a big deal. Nick is obvesely in a tough point in his life and its not any easier with cameras. How would you feel if you were in his shoes?

    I'd feel very ashamed of myself. I'd also have a hard time sleeping at night, knowing that I put my best friend in the ICU. I'd expect to get bashed because I nearly killed someone.

    It's "through"

    If you spent half as much time working on your spelling as you do dreaming about what color g-string Nick Hogan wears, you might have some credibility.

    You can defend how he feels all you want, but there is no doubt he's a ****ing idiot for going that high of speed on a public road.

    All I can say is I hope he's fine after what he did to that nice Supra. I think this was the wakeup call he needed.

    Will everyone please raise their hands if they constantly got speeding tickets, wrecked a Supra, and had this, "I earned my toys" attitude at 17?

    Someone's got their panties all twisted! Could this person be the fan club president or something? :D On a serious note, its quite dangerous to tell a 17yr old that it wasn't his/her fault (or give that impression by defending him from other people) especially when someone got seriously hurt. Did FerrariF50lover even consider what the family of the passenger feels about what "Precious" Nick did!? I think he deserves to be bashed (as does Nicky boy) just for sticking up for an immature, over speeding, spoiled brat!

    As for this spelling sheeite, drop it!
