After reading some more responses I am dumbfounded. You realize you are the parent and are buying him a car. Who gives a damn what he thinks he is getting a free car. You should just get him a new Volvo. Extremely safe and nice at the same fine. If he doesn't like what you get him tell him to walk and get what he wants himself.

Why all the hate? I don't get it. This poor guy came here asking for some advice and instead is getting bombarded by insults. Listen my friend. Don't listen to these clowns. If you can do it and you think your son deserves it and is mature enough to not only be able to drive a car like this but also stay grounded and hungry. Go ahead. More power to you. I never had anything handed to me. But don't hate people who do. Life is short. Do what you think is right.

Stock cars were so slow when I was 17.
Five-ish seconds to go 0-60 was amazing.
A 1/4 mile in 13.mumble seconds was incredible.
If I had my TTS when I was 17, I would be dead.
Mentally, I have only matured slightly since I was 17, so I play it safe and drive to work in a Volkswagen.

Thank you so much, GT3 Jockey! I came here to ask simple questions about GT3RS expenses and daily drivability, just to get bombarded with hate. After tonight, I will probably delete this account due to the amount of incredibly rude people on this forum. It specifically states that you cannot make fun of people and/or turn a discussion political, but this thread has both of those rules broken! I wish the administration team would pay attention to their own rules!

all i know is this , whoever created this thread is laughing at how stupid we all are
I’m not going to get political, but my son will work for what he gets later in life. After he graduates college, with whatever major he desires, he’s working for me. After I retire, he will run my company. He will never get spoiled to the point where he doesn’t work.

Please explain how navigating Stuttgart and having a rapidly depreciating asset correlate?
Also, this level of disrespect is supposed to be against the rules of this forum, but I guess not. Let me clear some things up. I am not a doctor nor dentist nor engineer. My wife is only a couple of years younger than me, and talking about my wife like that is extremely disrespectful. I have never been arrested nor have I even ever taken a sip of alcohol (religious reasons). My son has a few shares in some great companies, you are correct. My wife is an extremely intelligent lady and does not deserve to be talked to this way.

My mom's Benz was 1/100th the car that a GT3RS is, hard to imagine that I would have still been alive in that situation if the cars were switched

so in all seriousness I would highly advise you against buying your son this insanely powerful car, not a great idea IMO. there will be a time inevitably that he wants to test the car's speed and limits and the car can bite
Thank you for the advice, Sam! Congratulations on your 488 GTB! I had a 2016 Giallo Modena 488 GTB and loved it!
