when i first had my license I hit everything in site. Including a deer which wasn't my fault. If i had been in my Z when i hit the deer i would have been seriously injured or dead. Luckily I had my Mom's jeep cherokee as a first ride. (i was safe in that beast!) It all depends on the person though. if your a fast learner and a good driver then go for it. I would just hate to see a sweet car go to waste cause of negligent inexperienced driving. MY own 2cents, good luck with whateva you do, Jon
