wow what a freaking loser. I would make fun of him constantly for that. Who cares if your cars slower, at least you can drive it.

For a high school kid yes it is too much. It shows how irresponsible his parents are. No matter how much money I make I would never buy my high school aged driver a car with that much horsepower. They are just asking for a late night visit from the police saying their son was killed in an accident. It sounds like the kid is on his way to that too. I hope it doesn't happen, but it's likely.

That's true mostly, but there are exceptions. The girl I'm sort of seeing right now could have had almost any car she wanted when she turned 16 and she told her parents she just wanted something cheap and practical. I remember giving her so much crap for it. As a matter of fact I still do, we were just joking about it at lunch today.

i dont care who you are or how rich your parents are, if you're under 25, and especially still in highschool, you dont need a car like that. his parents are idiots.

well... I guess as long as you have a life insurance policy on your kid thats worth more than the vette and funeral costs, go for it (assuming, that your kids are in high school...)

I agree, it really reflects his parents' morals and values. his parents are not allowing him to figure things out the hard way and earn things like people in the real world do. they are not preparing him for the real world. honestly i feel sorry for him... he wont ever have to experience the feeling of turely earning something.

now, my parents offered to buy my new ss, but i declined and told them the only reason why i got a job was to afford my new car. sure i could quit and just forget about money, but i like the feeling of earning things.
