I knew a guy who lived in one of Chicagos weathiest suburbs in a lake front house. His father gave him a Porsche for his 16th birthday. Even in this neighborhood in the 1970’s most kids did not have their own car at 16. And he was likely the only one with a Porsche. He wrapped it around a tree. Not a scratch on the kid. Father gave him another one shortly afterwards. It may have been the insurance. That one was totaled within a month. He went off to college without a car. But he was still above ground, thanks to his father finally learning the lesson. God does not often give you 3 chances.
At my son’s high school a 16 year old destroyed his brand new, top of the line Mustang. His dad replaced it with a new BMW 3 series.... great plan dad!
A Porsche is a lot of car.
A 70s Porsche more so than now.
Very able in the right hands. Super unstable in the wrong.
in the 1965 my cousin was given a brand-new GTO for his sixteenth birthday. He totaled it one week later. Not hurt at all.
An Executive at LOWES...where do they get this people, HARVARD? Was he so stupid to let his 16 yr. old daughter run around at 3a.m. She needed a good spanking.
The ex went to auction and bought the oldest and anxious a Dodge Charger with fat slicks for racing. In northern New England. In fall. Refused to trade slick out for snow tires. Didn’t want to buy new wheels.
She spun out and spun out. I don’t know why she didn’t die. She was living with him. The Chargers engine blew. He bought her another one. She could not manage them. She finally traded and bought herself a little Toyota.
I prayed. She still loves him best and hates me.
