I'm not sure, but I think driving age in Japan is 18. Teenagers may be
able to drive scooters or small motorcycles though...

Well, if Kenshin does come to the US as Samurai X... watch if fail fast.
But I doubt it'll be picked up as Samurai X. Sony's best chance is to get
a US anime company to release it with unedited sub and a new dub.

"Unit 01, Angel at eleven o'clock."
"But it's only seven o'clock," Shinji quipped.
