He will wreck it, he will get a ticket, he will do stupid stuff in it, he will go 120 MPH + in it. Be prepared.

I was an honors student with a 4.1 GPA in high school. How good you think your son is doesn't matter. Power of an engine runs through the veins of most guys.
Thank you for your concern, however, there is no need to be crass. The decision to buy this car was not taken lightly. I am fully aware of the effects of testosterone fueled motoring and physics.
