Take 'em for a ride and show 'em how fast it really is. Most people have no idea what these cars are capable of. They likely won't want to drive it after that. These cars can be lethal in the wrong hands. Even my buddies that we race with are surprised at how quick mine is. I know how fast it can swap ends. I wouldn't want to be responsible for their deaths.

This thread reminds me of a very well-off guy in a nearby town. Upon his son's 16th birthday he presented the kid with the keys to a new Viper. The kid promptly went out and wrapped it around a pole, killing himself and injuring his passenger. I wonder if the father would do it again.
