It's all too common for people to get in over their heads with a new machine they're not familiar with. I lost one of my best friends in Highschool, when he got a Camaro for his 16th birthday, and crashed it while seeing how fast it was, a couple days later, killing himself. To this day, I think about him every time I pass the spot where it happened.
