I'm not spinning the story to suit my point - merely reiterating what you wrote. Within minutes of getting the Boxster, you were driving recklessly in a car you were not familiar with. You're carping about being stereotyped in the same thread where you relate a story of how you behaved stereotypically.
If a car on the expressway had merged into your lane while you were "weaving in and out of traffic" at speeds up to 100MPH, the results would have been life altering...
And yes, I can say I have not done this with a new car as an adult. I drive fast now, sure, but I drive fast in situations where a mechanical failure or poor driving on my part would at worst cause the deaths of me and a cactus. I drove recklessly as a kid, and I was an "good" kid. Thankfully, I was driving a Delta 88 when I had my worst wreck - if I'd been driving a Boxster instead of a massive Oldsmobile, I would have been cut out of that wreck.
The original poster was asking for opinions - and everyone here has been opining. Also worth considering is that everyone here who's shared an opinion has in fact been a teenager and therefore has a perfectly valid point of view, regardless of how dated that view might be in your estimation or how it might conflict with yours.
WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE US FOR BEING OPINIONATED? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT?

You can not say you have not done something of a similar nature with any new car no matter your age. You are spinning the story to suit your point. It is a compelling argument to give a boxster to a teen driver, the facts are there and you just need to realize them. As I said in an earlier post.. who are you to judge others? Who are you to tell them what they can and cannot have? Even from a parents respect they still have no right to force their will upon their teenagers for reason being that they themselves are their own person and not a slave. We all judge other people yet we have no right to.
