+1 on the street survival class. It is a great class at almost no cost. They do fill up quick, so you need to register as soon as you can

I had my 16 y/o take it. He had had his license about 3 months. We got him a 2000 Volvo C70 convertible, a very safe car

He has been itching to drive my Boxster, so far I have been using"you don't know how to drive a stick" to keep him out of driving it. Now that we also have a 996 Targa with a Tip, that didn't work any more. We have let him drive it a little under supervision and he has done well. Gonna get a dash cam and a tracker for it and then let him try on his own

He is a pretty good driver and did drive a bit on out trip to San Francisco and back in the Jetta

Also going to enroll him (and my wife) in the next PDS here in March
