this sucks but this is exactly why you never buy a fast car for a young kid...
fast car + inexperienced young driver = bad times
why do you think California driver licensing laws are so damn strict?!
"Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among teens in the United States. In California alone, nearly 20,000 teen drivers are injured or killed every year. "

18 year old kids (especially boys) don't have the maturity nor the intelligence and driving dexterity to handle a fast car...even give them a junked up beater car and they'll still drive it like a formula 1 car. all they care about is picking up chicks and losing their virginity and growing facial hair.
when my son reaches his driving years, believe me, I'll have one of those spy devices that'll tell me exactly where he's been and how fast he's gone.
