Oh please. Kids will drive like maniacs in anything. Anything. Teenage
boys are unstoppable when it comes to reckless behaviour and there are
sound
biological reasons for this.

No, I related my own teenage experience. I was *not* reckless in my Mini
because I felt vulnerable in it doing stupid things, so I didn't do
stupid things. Other teenagers I knew who owned Minis generally also
drove MUCH more carefully than their peers - because they also felt
vulnerable.

No, what? You're an exception. If you think otherwise, a biology lesson is
in order. Teenage boys. Think arrest stats, insurance rates, girls. Our
evolved history explains it just fine. Works for just about every other
sexual being as well. Some species of shore birds excepted.
