If you plan on street racing dont have another person in the car...I have seen too many passengers killed by driver mistakes

on the other side of things you should NEVER give a 16yr old kid a decent sports car unless they have had classes on how to drive one

No kidding! From the looks of it, they should have had to have been life-flighted out. They need to make some regular appearances in church for a while...

So you're saying street racing is ok, at least as long as 16 year-olds have classes?

Two different thoughts

1. if taking your life into your own hands don't bring a passenger

2. dont give little kids big kid cars

as for street racing I have done it since I was 18 and had been a spectator since 14...so I don't see a lot of issue with it but you must be smart about it...we used to race out in an industiral park...from about 11pm-5am on fridays and saturdays...the only people there were us

That is nuts, he could he killed someone, I don't think street racing is ever ok in public, hopefully this teaches him a lesson!

It said he was racing a BMW....bad bmw driver!

Remember, street racing is highly illegal...!

It never ceases to amaze me how indulgent parents can be of their children, and more importantly, how thoughtless they can be. Sort of explains why much of the younger generation is the way it is. Sure, give your 16 year old who just got his license a sports car. How many similar crashes have we seen with E46 M3's, etc? Before all you young'ins get all in a huff, I know many teens are responsible and good drivers, blah, blah, blah. Be that as it may, there is no replacement for experience behind the wheel. Without it, and with a powerful sports car in the hands of a young person who cannot help but test the limits of the sports car, you're asking for disaster.

:wow: Dumbazzes!

I have a powerpoint show with a bunch of pics of an Audi (A4 maybe? hard to tell) that hit a tree in europe. Same thing, one half of the car here, other half over there, and two body bags.
I'd post a pic, but this computer doesnt have the right program to open the file... :(
