For anyone claiming young people aren’t into cars, a wild Indiana case offers a counterpoint: a teenager led state troopers on a chase exceeding 115 mph in a Chevy Impala. We don’t endorse it, but it does show some kids still have a need for speed.

Channeling that enthusiasm into a dangerous high-speed chase is exactly the wrong outlet. The teen’s reckless flight endangered everyone on the road and landed him in serious trouble, a far cry from the legal ways to enjoy a fast car.
