Who thinks this is a good idea?

It all depends on the persons attitude about driving. If he is the type that would go show off doing stupid things with it, bad idea.

However he may be responsible, his parents may know this and are rewarding him for something he accomplished. I love how everyone just judges without knowing families like this personally.

I haven't read responses on this thread but seen many like it over the years, for those that did not come from families that were beyond "well-off", you won't understand their day to day lifestyles.
