Teen aged boy is going to crash his first car. It's a right of passage.

I call BS on this one. I got my first car at 16. I didn't crash it at all. I waited until my third car, the 914 I still own. And I was hit sitting still. I have a friend in PCA club racing that bought his daughter a Spec Boxster as her first street car. No passenger seat, no radio, 6 point harness and a roll cage. She drove it all through college. Got hit twice. Both times were not her fault, but the safety equipment saved her. |
