Teenagers and Ferraris
Does anybody know of a teenager who drives a Ferrari? That would be the coolest thing. Imagine driving to school in a Ferrari F50. That is one thing I can only dream about.
One more thing, How old do you have to be to rent a Ferrari? |

I don't think this is true, but i heard that a daddy bought his daughter a new Ferrari, then one week later she totalled it, and daddy had to buy her a beater instead(probably a mercedes)

Well, a young, inexperienced mind in a car like a Ferrari is a dangerous mix. If you think you can handle it, then you are wrong.

I too am very much against very young people driving very fast cars.. unless you have a sensible head on your shoulders it is wisest to delay the purchase of a high performance vehicle until you have some experience, no matter how much cash you have... people try to kid themselves into thinking that they are good drivers because they go fast... a friend of mine (20) has a 328Ci and he is one of the worst drivers ever.. I have no idea how he has been driving for 2 years without ever crashing... as you can imagine for someone so young to have such a nice car he must be loaded (which he is), and he recently mentioned that he wanted to rent out an M3 over a weekend in the South of France. ive been trying to hint that it may not be such a good idea but he's very keen... what can i say... some people are just born reckless....
even worse than this guy is my cousin's best friend... his very first car was a 5l. Mustang, in which he had a horrible accident, and in doing so a very good friend of his who was sitting in the passenger seat lost his life .... he was in hospital for months and when he was healthy enough to come out he had no idea what had happened (although i suspect he might know, just not able to face up to it)... seeing that the Mustang was totalled, what did his filthy rich parents do?? thats right, they bought him an E36 M3, i think it was... and the last i heard he was complaining that it wasnt fast enough so he wanted his parents to buy him something faster... as far as im concerned i dont want to know anymore, that situation is sick... this just goes to show how ugly situations can get when the wrong driver is in a fast car... no matter how tempting it is to skip straight through to the Fezza's and Porkers, everyone has to "serve time" in something less exotic, just to understand and master the mechanics of car control... in an ideal world everyone would enrol in an advanced driving course as im sure that would help to no end.... road deaths are things that really trouble me, theres nothing more disturbing that driving/walking by a big car crash, knowing that the people inside were seriously injured/killed... sorry for the rather low-beat message, but road safety is something that should be taken very seriously cheers jay |

Well Lambo_Boy on here got a Lamborghini Diablo when he was 18 years old, and now he's not even 20 yet and he's got a Ferrari F40.... because he was tired of his Diablo
but a 20 year old guy on my street has a Viper..... i've driven a Ferrari and i'm 17. But i don't know anybody personally who actually has their own Ferrari, just people that have driven their parents or parents friend's

Pretty much amazing
|
How much experience is needed? I think Ferrari should run a driving school upon purchase liek they do with the CLK GTR, 400 HP is alot of HP, for anyone, especially people under 20. Also us youngins get pumped up easily with fast cars. I'd perosnally like to take a Ferrari to it's limits, but I'd die in the process so I'll wait until I get much more experience. Especially in panic situations. (I'd hate to so much as scratch a Ferrari in any situation)

I'm sure anyone could drive that car at sensible speeds around town and what not. The deception for them though is that they can handle it going fast, which is where things go wrong.

I would be scared shitless trying to get a Ferrari to go to it's limits
That would really be scary The ones i've driven i barely took over the limit It's alright for a kid to have a Ferrari 308 though that's nothin special

YEAH, BUT ITS A FERRARI!!!
I would kill for (almost) any Ferrari!! the 308 is an affordable dream and im glad it exists... I dont care if it doesnt set the world on fire in terms of performance.. i mean, look at the 246 Dino... Pretty slow for a ferrari but one of the most beautiful things on this planet.. oh yeah, and its a ferrari too.... cheers jay |

Ferrari or no Ferrari, any high performance car in the hands of someone inexperienced is a danger to all motorist. First you have someone who is bound to let his ego control his rationale and if someone revs him, what do you think is going to happen. Second, not having the experience, liable to get someone and himself killed. It's nice to own a beast of a machine, when you know it's limits and yours.

i think you guys misunderstood me..... i kinda worded that wrong
What i mean is, i think a 308 is an exception, because it wouldn't be bad if a teenager drove one. It's about as fast as a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry so if a teenager wants a Ferrari (308) then i don't think there's a problem with that.... but if it's a performer than maybe there should be like a Ferrari drivers test, that way no dumbass will get behind the wheel of a powerful Ferrari
