I got a Civic for my first car when I turned 16 (I'm 22 now)
I never crashed it, but I broke it every time I tried to fix it. I wore out axels when I lowered it. If the trans. wasn't so forgiving it would have been toast.
I messed up some little things on accident. I'm really anal now, that car got a ton of little dents that would really annoy me if it were a nicer car.
My dad had an 01 Corvette. I'm lucky I never killed myself or anyone else when I took that out.. 150mph +, hard cornering etc..
My dad did however, put me in Kart racing at a young age. That probably did give me the skill to not crash any of the fast cars I've driven while I didn't have much experience.
The Boxster feels pretty slow to me compared to some of the cars I've owned, so at first I was like why not. On second thought, I could have very possibly got myself into some serious trouble if I was daily driving a Boxster instead of a Civic at first.
Just my .02
