As far as kids getting "slow" cars, theres no point because they could just as easily kill them selves killed or injured with slow cars then they could fast cars, it all depends on the kid. Hell for all we know, this article could have been about a 16 year old who died in a es250 because he was drunk instead of a gs400 evading police

Terrible story. Had a similar story in my home town about 7 years ago.

It's one thing to drive 85 ... but there is no excuse for going 130+ on any highway.

I think the type of car does influence the way a kid behaves. I know that when I was a teenager, the fact that my car was a bit more powerful than average did influence me and encourage me to drive more aggressively than I should.

Powerful cars no doubt have an influence, but every kid, no matter what they drive, drives like an idiot from time to time. I don't have a really fast car, but my es300 is faster than most cars kids are driving
