To disagree, I'd have put it as, hone your skills by doing an AD course, then you should be capable of driving anything you can afford to insure.
That's the theory. In practice, AD training is only part of the picture. You can't ignore experience and maturity. Although "Insanity" shows wisdom beyond his years, he's still a young man at the end of the day. Probably best to get something cheap and cheerful. Then, if you get in a scrape, it's no big deal.

I'm sure he'll do his best. Not always easy for any of us. Even harder when you have an eager car and youthful exuberance to tempt you.
