Now your son has introduced himself and all his driving stories are of his reckless driving.

By choice, when I'm on the road, I driver fairly safe.
The only time I've forced an oversteer was going up that parking garage. Which is where I pulled the estimated speed of 30 mph from, though I suspect I was going slower.
It's not that I drive recklessly when the ground is wet, It's more that when it's wet out, I expect the rear end to slide at some point. It almost always does, on a very specific turn, so I know to be ready to correct it.
I've driven the Prev for a while now, and I've grown very used to it's handling and mechanics, if, or when I get a new car, I'd take a lot of time to learn how it drives. I guess that's what autocross is for.
It seems that in the range of 16-20 something, we feel like we're invincible. Nothing can bring you down, until something actually does. If you're lucky, it was a friend, if you're unlucky, it was the ER.

And thanks for pointing that out, muffinman. It helps to have someone who will pull you back down to earth every once in a while. Any opinion is needed, especially if you think the person in question might be headed for disaster.
Also, isn't any story you tell about driving going to be about reckless driving?
