Right after I graduated high school at 18, I bought a 88 Mustang GT
5.0 5 speed. I never wrecked it, hit anything, or even got a ticket,
but remembering some of the silly things I did would make me think
twice about letting my teenager own one. Within a month, I almost
crashed it twice because of inexperience with that much power. First
time was when I was driving away from the dealers lot! I had it all of
10 min. and I came around a 90 degree, 2 lane left turn at about 10
mph, and punched it in First. Not smart. Hung the ass WAY out. A
couple of weeks later, me and a bud were again going left from one
street to another and I nailed it (you think I would've learned the
first time). Sure enough, ends swapped and I was headed towards a
light pole backwards and couldn't stop. A kid is going to fast in
whatever they drive, in most cases, but I guess you just have to trust
them.

P.S. Rick, got any decent spank stories with your 6er?
