[s-cars] Teen cars

 Yeah... I put 2 girls through HS and one through college in CGTs.  Worked out great.

 That's quite a reach in physics, but my driveway parks two land-tanks for truly 
inclement weather days: A v8 quattro and a supercharged Landcruiser with a TJM 
Bull Bumper.  Re-buttering your claim, I suspect the LC would just plain flatten 
a 2005 mini like a roundel pancake. It gets to 0-60 almost 2 seconds sooner and 
stops from 60-0 only 7 feet longer than the mini to boot.  And?  I would never 
consider a mini for my daughters, and the v8q and LC are overkill (pun intended) 
for the majority of their driving.

I advocate teen driver skill-set education, not machine of choice will be what 
reduces teen driver accidents.  No one really buys a car for head-on collision 
IMO, or we all should be driving brand new Escapades.  Me, I want a reliable car 
for my teens, inexpensive to insure, that is cheap enough to walk away from if 
totaled, and is safe enough that my daughters will *likely* walk from it too.  
Not looking to donate/insure an expensive go-kart, the CGT was a natural choice 
for me.  Insurance considerations can eliminate a lot of other choices quickly, 
btdt.  A teen in a Mini?  My agent would probably spit her coffee, and my 
insurance payments would likely rival the car payment.

A cgt is a nice car but as far as crash safety, a 2005 mini would slice through 
it like a hot knife through butter.
