Irresponsible parents who buy these cars for their kids are equally to blame when I read stories like these.

How is a new turbo worth only 120k? Or was it a used car that was leased?

How is a person smart enough to afford to buy/lease their 20 year old kid a Turbo, yet stupid enough to give it to him?
What the hell are people thinking?
RIP to the fallen but this one I blame on Stupid Parents!!!!

Wow lots of hate on the parents without any facts at all about how they came across the car.

The issue with the parents may be referring to the link I posted above about the dad who bought his kid a Ferrari and crashed it.

McNicoll is a common drag area. This is a rice rocket neighborhood.
