Lets take it easy on teen boys now. I got my Boxster 2 weeks after i turned 16 and it's been 2 and a half years and not a single speeding ticket or accident yet. I bet there are plenty of adults out there that would do something stupid behind the wheel of a viper.

Teens sure dont need a fast car to get into trouble. I am impressed by the number of accidents and violations my 17 year old son and his friends have stacked up. I would say at least half of the teens in his large circle of friends have had an accident.

My son totaled our Toyota Corolla, he was fine, car was not. His best friend just got a ticket yesterday in his parents Honda Accord, going 105 mph in a 45 mph zone, cited for reckless endangerment, looks like he is going to be bumming rides from his friends for quite some time.....

Ah, if that had been my son, he biggest issue would not be bumming rides from his friends.

Exactly! Why add another 400 HP to the mix?

I was actually waiting for someone to bring up all the stupid things older people do with fast cars.....like the guy who wrecked the Enzo in California....

its easy to make slow cars go fast, just takes time, so getting a honda to go 100 is not a problem, but going down a 45mph zone 100 IS a problem.

so u can drive a 500 hp car slowly, but its very tempting, and when ur buddy gets in u want to show off and then this tree comes outta nowhere
