I've not read all of this thread so sorry if this has already been said, but experience is a big factor in owning a sports car, especially an expensive one. I'm talking about the experience that can only be gained through years of driving. When you know the dumb bitch 50 yards down the road is going to pull out in front of you. Or the guy talking on his cell next to you is going to try and merge into your lane like your not even there. Over time you can learn to anticipate these types of behaviors, but its something a teenager simply can't do (yet). Add on to this their loud music, dumb friends and other teenagers trying to race them and its a recipe for disaster. This is of course not a rule and more of a general observance.

I can tell you that I am a responsible person and I was as a teenager as well. However there are still times where I push the car or my motorcycle to limits that I shouldn't on the street. Unfortunately, that's what gets my blood pumping and I can't always resist. I think a lot of people fall into this category and its experience that keeps them on their toes when bad judgement gets the better of them.
