RIP to this poor woman, may the Lord comfort her family.
Same with my Jeep Supercharged HEMI.
It’s got a slow leak, front right...
“kids under 25 and 650 CC motorcycles”
We don’t call them donorcycles for nothing.
Like most that can afford hyper powerful cars, no ability to operate them near potential.
At least most geezers that can afford Porches drive like a Priaps would suffice for. Same with Corvettes.
It reminds me a bit of the Porsche SUV...
If he was going downhill.
Why are people so stupid? Years ago, I worked with a man - not directly, so I did not know him well - and he had a son who was the apple of his eye. Upon graduation from high school, he bought the son what we used to call a “crotch rocket.” A motorcycle, in other words - a fast one. Within a week of that gift, that boy was turning a corner a few miles from where we used to live and he died within a few hours. It was awful watching that man at work after that. He was never the same. A ghost of his former self. Just broke my heart.
would it be less awful if the father had bought the kid a used sports car? Or are we supposed to be especially upset that the car was expensive?
Dad may have a divorce in his future. Per the article, mom was against junior getting the Lambo.
It’s a liberal world now. Don’t worry, the kid will be just fine. His dad will get him another Lambo of his choice. Those other little people will just have to move on or take the settlement.
His father should have given him a 1971 Dodge Colt.
Silly of me to think that they only made race/ sports cars. Every day, learn something new.

I think the company actually got its start with farm tractors.
Boy, “17, was behind the wheel of a Lamborghini...”
Big mistake by the father. Just give the kid a nice F150 truck.
My first car was a truck...1966 Ford Bronco. Had a snowplow. Learned car mechanics on it, you could sit under and between the block and chassis rails and do repairs, change the oil, etc. My pronoun is “She” and all I’ve ever bought were trucks (except splurged and bought a convertible Volvo C70 to take my Mom to dialysis in.) Other trucks were about 3 F250s, couple of Rangers, and a F450 and F550, hence my name. It was unusual for females in the late 70s to have trucks, I was truckin’ from way back :)
The Father is the enabler of his entitled, brat son
Good for her. She wasnt an old lady when she bought it though. Unless you consider 53 old... 8-)
Did you put a mattress in back?
Growing up my brother hot a Formula Firebird. Crashed it. 71 Mach 1 Mustang, crashed it. SS nova, crashed it. I got a 350 dollar Oldsmobile, dad got smarter lol
