Tom's words are not just a friendly caution from someone you don't know. They are words of wisdom from a seasoned owner that can save your life. These cars are powerful enough to scare most drivers when you first get in. In a short time, you will think you got acclimated faster than you expected — you did not!
Other than the unfortunate few and occasionally stupid first-time owners, most get killed after owning the car for a while because they begin to lose that fear and respect they had for it the first time.
Find the biggest empty parking lot you can, with as close to zero parked cars, phone poles, or light posts as possible. Use it to figure out where your car crosses over the line and becomes uncontrollable without hitting anything. You'll be glad you did, as will your friends and family.
Without meaning to be overdramatic, these cars can and have killed owners and continue to do so. As Smokey the Bear used to say, ... 'Only you can prevent Forest Fires.' The similar Cobra's words sound slightly different, 'Only you can save your a$$.'
