Stupid 17 year old + Mustang = Crash

I've said it before and I will say it again. Lack of experience and trying to be "cool" is common with teen drivers. He should lose his license but also the parents need a reality check. Why they think a teen can handle a car with that much power is beyond me. I know, people will say that he most likely would have done the same if he was in a 4cyl 100hp car. Difference is, he can get up to 80 MPH a hell of a lot faster in a sportscar than he can in a VW Golf so he has more opportunity to lose control. When I have kids, they will be driving underpowered rust buckets until they prove they deserve a better vehicle.
BTW driving an underpowered rust bucket will endanger your child's life far far worse than driving one with power in it. Imagine if they crash? That car will be a coffin, cuz you'll never get them out. Imagine how sh1ty it'll look in your driveway? Imagine the problems?... why do that to your kid and to yourself? This crash is getting exploited cuz it's a mustang crash, on a mustang board... where the demographic is 30+ and so it's easy to bash on this example. Meanwhile it's been reported that far too many times elderly drivers are worse drivers and more dangerous to themselves and others. I wouldn't be surprised in the next 10-20 years if you have to take a test to reaffirm your licenses every 5 years once 60 or 70 hits. READ IT
