Not really.
My best friend for example loves cars as much as I do (he's a hardcore VW nut), but he's been involved in numerous accidents and even spent 4 months in the hospital - all because he drives recklessly. He's a speed freak and his problem is that he has to max out every car he tries, even on public roads. Among the cars he's owned were a Corvette ZO6 (C5) and a VW Golf R32 with an HPA (I think that's the name) tuned engine for speed and acceleration.
Whatever you do, don't give him a Bugatti 16.4 Veyron.
