Not me. My first car was a 1960 VW bug with a ground pounding 36 HP when new. It had over 100,000 miles, and likely down to 25 HP. 0 to 60 of 72 seconds on flat ground with no headwind. If there was a headwind, 0 to 60 was infinite and unattainable. Even on wet pavement I could not get that car to spin like the Lambo idiot.
I graduated to a 73 Super Bug. 60 HP was awesome fast!
In 1974 I ordered my 74 914 2.0 and I got the bad driving out of my system with 3 or so autocrosses per month. I actually learned how to drive.
I have done some dumb things in my long ago past, but I got away with them, and no crashes since I was 16, in my 60 model bug. One of the prettiest girls in my high school was in a mini skirt walking along the sidewalk in front of school. For some reason my 16 year old small brain was intent on watching her, and not traffic. I rear ended a big ol American car at 5 MPH or after a panic stop when the car in front of me stopped at a red light. No damage to his giant bumper. It is my one and only crash.
