For what it's worth....
GF's niece is 16. Wonderful student, great kid, pillar of the community-type, etc., ad nauseum.
Daddy goes out and buys late model Mustang for her first car. "Wonderful kid" gets lecture about safety, speeding, drinking and driving, etc. from everyone with a mouth.
She's been driving about 6-8 months. Yesterday morning she oversleeps and is running late for school. She thinks it'd be better to fly like a banshee to make up the time rather than arriving in one piece.
State Trooper busts her for speeding. Graciously wrote her up for 14mph over rather than the true speed she was doing. Ticket still about $200-bucks. Firefighter tag didn't help.
Daddy now wishes he'd bought a under powered Granny car for her to poot around in!
