generally don't mix too well. Years ago I had a 1973 Mercury Capri (looked like an early Mustang) with a very hot V6 engine that was capable of running over 140 mph! When I got ready to sell it, I decided that it would be irresponsible to sell it to an inexperienced driver. So, when calls started coming in, my first question would be "how old is the driver?". When mom or dad said 16 or 17 I explained that the car was highly modified and needed a driver with experience. Some got mad that I would not sell them the car, some were appreciative. I finally sold it to a young man that was in his mid to late twenties. Apparently he took pretty good care of it, because he called me about 3 years later to get some info on the engine for a rebuild.
