I knew a guy who wrecked several Ferraris.  The sad part was, he was a
very successful entrepreneur, and the world is a lesser place since he
bought the farm.

There appears to be some relation between risk taking entrepreneurially and
in driving.  Both should be allowed because they improve many things.  Risk
needs to be judged correctly, and that can only be learned through trial.

BTW, I know a family that has a jag restoration and chevy hot rod business,
and they are also quite capable drivers.  But I know what you mean.
