LOOK!!! What not to give your son at 17

Where as I totally agree with the sentiments and feel for the families. I can't help that think that my first car was a 57 Ford 300 with a '68 428 Interceptor motor and my second was a 69 Charger with a 383 that soon gave way to a 440. I survived high school with those beasts. I won't let my daughter drive my Roadrunner, but it's my judgement call based on my evaluation of her abilities.

I think in the end, it's not the maturity or power of the car, but the maturity and power of the driver.....

I'll second that. My first car was a '69 Super Bee 440/727 and I've still got it. You've got to understand and respect the car. You've also got to know the limitations of the car and the limitations of your driving ability.
