I never understood the point of buying a child who can't have their license for another year a brand new car, especially a 15 year old boy who will want to show off to his friends in it. But congrats I suppose.

he is not buying his 15 year old the car...he is just going to let his son drive it with him in the passenger seat

LSXgirl · 10-20-2009, 08:00 PM

Oh ok good hhahaha I was gonna say...

I do not think it is wise for ANYONE to give thier "new Driver" a new car. I have a 73 VW that has been retored for him to drive. He has been driving it in the driveway for the past year. The kid is pretty good too. On his first lesson... he did not stall it once! (He over-reved a bit but I was very impressed!)

As for buying the hottest car for a 15 year old..... ARE YOU NUTS? Have you seen the threads of smashed up camaros with older, experienced drivers? NOT MY CAR! lol

I have waited many, many years to afford to buy an awesome car like this. I worked for it, saved for it so I will not let it become fodder!
