If I were to allow a teenager to drive my car:

First, I would pull out the radio,
Second, I would turn off their cell phone.

That would remove two of the biggest distractions for modern teens.

If I wanted to kill my teenage son, I would give him any fast car. If I wanted to spend tens of thousands of dollars in the body shop I would give my teenage daughter an expensive car.

Teenage drivers should be given safe but cheap used cars. Period. They will wreck or beat up anything you give them so give them something that's safe and cheap.

Giving a teenager a Porsche is like giving psychotic a bottle of Quaaludes, a bag of pot and an Uzi.

Thanks for sharing your views. I have a year and and a half to think this over.

My brother buys Mercury Grand Marquis's for his boys. They hate driving them, but they are all still alive.
