Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML

And this is why auto insurance rates for teenagers are so much higher than for adults. Because, in general, they're idiots.

I hope he at least isn't hurt?! Sorry OP, you can always replace a car.

He would have had to have better ability to drive than that to get his license in the first place. Are you sure it wasn't an "accidentally-on-purpose" thing?

Not really. If you learn to drive and practice and test in a Ford Fiesta you're skilled enough to pass a basic road test in a Ford Fiesta. Which drives and handles completely differently than a Lotus with a supercharger or a RWD muscle car from the 60's. Not all cars are the same and as a fresh driver he may not have the skills or experience to realize he doesn't have the skills or experience to handle a powerful car.

Not all teenagers are bad at driving. I'm 13 and I can drive manual without crashing. Not on a public road, of course. Also, I am Chinese. Stereotypes are ignorant.
