That's really cool! A great way to get to know the car. Lots of fun and a great way to scare the crap out your friends too.
I learned to drive in Buffalo NY where we annually got hammered by DEEP lake effect snow. The local police sponsored a winter teen driving course with a skid school. A bit daunting for a kid asked to skid a car with a big gruff cop sitting next to you... But they claimed a much better accident record for kids who took the course, and I got a discount on my car insurance too! I wish towns still did this for kids learning to drive!
