I think "Doug" is on the "Money" with those comments.

Back when my youngest, now 44, was just starting college he was driving my old pick up truck or ute. It was an 1986 F-250 with a 6.9 L diesel motor. Eventually it would get going as it didn't really have any acceleration to speak of but it could pull almost anything.

One day my kid comes storming into the house saying, "Every teenager should be required to drive a diesel pick up truck for 5 years after they get their license. It will teach them patience." I never asked but to this day I still laugh about it.

BTW - I had a vehicle in for service and the dealer had the dealer's shuttle service take me home. The driver couldn't have been much older than 19. The next day I called the service manager about the ride home. The conversation went like this:
M-"Service manager please."
J-"This is Joe."
M-"I'm calling about your shuttle driver who took me home yesterday."
J-"Oh, that would be (name)."
M-"He drives like you and wish that we could have taught our teenagers to drive."
J-"Really, that good?"
M-"No better."

Rich, it's so unusual to find good young drivers but when you do, it's good to compliment them.
I had a young Somali taxi driver in Adelaide once, he was such a good driver, I asked how long he'd been driving. Only four years, since he'd been in Australia. In that time, he'd also learned English, completed a nursing aide course, obtained a job and was doing a nursing degree. Figured he'd earned a decent tip.
