The day after I got my license (late at 17) my parents tossed me into the Pittaresi defensive/track school at Portland International Raceway. Got to spend the whole day driving Camry skidcars around cones WFO. Probably the best thing I could have done, and I can tell you for sure it came in handy when I did stupid things (accidental 4-wheel drift topping a hill in the wet towards a parked car in a '67 Volvo doing 55 in a 25, anyone?). Saved my ass a number of times in the 8 years since then, and it will in the next 50, too. Gotta know how to DRIVE that modded SE...
