In a follow up they indicate the father was a dumb *** & bought his 18 yr old son a F430. I know what stupid **** I did at 18 in a Regal I would have been dead in a F430 like the 18 yr old who killed his friends in his M5 on the runway in Ocala.

I just want to find the salvage yard it went to and see if the wheels can be recovered.
Okay I take that back I just saw the picture showing the back tires were destroyed. That is just insane to give your child a 180,000 car.

For example, I know a plastic surgeon who bought his son a brand new Audi R8 ($110k-$120k?), but he "only" drives a BMW X5 himself ($70k-$80k?). The son drives the most expensive car in their household.
I know another guy who drives a Mercedes E350 himself but bought his daughter a brand new M3.

Probably nothing too extravagant. A lot of wealthy people tend to be pretty frugal and live below their means except when it comes to their children. Money knows no bounds when it comes to spoiling "daddy's little girl/prince." (By the way, I don't mean this in a bad way. It's completely within someone's right to buy whatever the hell they want for their children with their own money).

It isn't so much about the parent buying this vehicle or that vehicle for their recently licensed child, but more of a matter of the person's inability to properly operate a vehicle in that performance category. I mean look at all the people that jump from an FF to a FR or MR & promptly spin or wreck it on the 1st slick corner. There needs to be far better driver education. The joke that they call Driver's Ed doesn't even teach parallel parking any more. The whole "well I learned just fine that way & that's the way it has always been" menatality needs to die. We need a graduated license system. Want to drive a sports car? - ok, you need to take an advanced driving course and then be tested to prove that you can control a vehicle of that caliber. Want to drive an SUV or pickup? - Same thing, prove you can operate it properly and get an endorsement on your license. Riders have to do it. CDL drivers have to do it. Yet Joe and Jane Schmo with limited to no experience can hop into anydamnthing with 4 wheels & learn as they go. Then it should be mandatory to retest & prove your compentency every time you renew your license to both keep your license & retain your endorsement. If the Insurance industry & nhtsa truly cared about the general public & reducing auto collisions and fatalities they would lobby for this to be implemented, instead of handing out grants for law enforcement to employ spotters to catch people texting while driving. My ex & I always had the understanding that we would allow her boys to get whatever they wanted to drive(within our price range of course) with the unwavering stipulation that they would absolutely have to attend advanced driver training courses and track days in order to have the skills to properly handle any vehicle. Totally didn't hurt that she was a former dirt track racer & we were building her a drift car.
