This may be completely true in your case but the issue is that EVERY 17 to 25 year old believes the exact same thing whether it true or not. They then drive like they actually have a level of skill that they do not have. IMO, without formal training (not driver's ed) and/or many years of experience, the skill is not there. There are many young people who are great drivers and have the skill and maturity to have a car like an M3 but they are in the VAST minority and, as I said, the issue is that the rest of those in that age group actually believe they are better drivers and more mature than they are. If I owned an M3 at 18, there is a reasonable chance I would not have seen 30 and I really did consider myself to be more mature than most others my age.
