More likely some 16 year old's dad.

[–]nate22[S] 9 points10 points ago

It's hers. Her dad has a black one....

There is an incest joke in your reply, I'm sure of it.

[–]powereddeath 26 points27 points ago

Yes some people have more money than others.

[–]JavaMoose 5 points6 points ago

This is the appropriate response.

Cars like these were basically my security system in high school. I'd park my shitty pickup between the nicest two cars I could find. In my mind people, given the option of stealing from a 60,000+ dollar car or a 1,500 dollar shitbox, were more likely to steal from the nicer car. Not really sure if that made any real sense looking back, but I never did have anything stolen.

I lived in a very mixed income area so I know a lot of people that do this. One of my friends even parks his '96 Toyota by this one 18 year olds bright orange Lamborghini.

I had nothing worth stealing in my car in high school. I would also leave my doors unlocked, just in case people thought the valuables were hidden, they wouldn't break my window trying to see what they could find.

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 2 points3 points ago

I left my car unlocked on the off chance that somebody would steal it. The insurance money would cover a car three times as good, but I couldn't bring myself to drive it into the lake and claim it stolen. My luck, I'd be caught.

[–]cassmtz 1 point2 points ago

I did the same thing. I'd put lots of work into my little datsun pickup. Paint job, interior, rims and about $3000 in stereo equipment. People just assumed it was a piece of shit because it was old.

[–]Wise_Broseph 1 point2 points ago

I guess it depends. It makes sense, but their cars are more likely going to have alarms than your pos.

[–]Vapinlikeafool 7 points8 points ago

I just put one of those in my garage. Till that little ungrateful shit jimmy took it.

[–]lemonscentedanthrax 3 points4 points ago

I go to a boarding school. Pretty much all my friends drive brand new Mercedes or BMW's. The students from China especially like to flaunt their money. One Chinese kid at our school has a LP-640 Lamborghini. It's ridiculous

[–]ufamizm 1 point2 points ago

Calm down guys its probably only the v8

[–]TILopisafag 1 point2 points ago

Are people really complaining over this? Your suppose to want the best for your kids, and if you can afford this then go for it. Your the one living in the capitalistic nation, so you have no excuse to complain about wealth.

[–]Pizoole 1 point2 points ago

"best" you gave a supercar to a highschool student, that is just about the most irresponsible thing you could do. give them a volvo, so you know they are safe. its pretty awesome she gets to have that, but as far as parenting goes, that isn't good.

[–]TILopisafag 0 points1 point ago

How is that bad parenting? Its no different than the kids who get lower tier luxury cars. Look at the ratio of wealth. Someone who makes 50k a year will spend 10k on a car for their kid, and someone who makes 500k will spend 100k. I'm pretty sure that you would have taken this over a volvo.

[–]Pizoole 0 points1 point ago

Ok. this car has 410hp and 340lbs of torque, this car is incredibly fast. Now I'm guessing you have never driven a fast car, because when you're a kid, hopped up on hormones, obeying the laws of the road are not really number one priority. so when you give a kid a car, that is AMAZINGLY FUN to speed in, they will be faster than they should. OF COURSE I WOULD TAKE THIS OVER A VOLVO. It's an awesome car, but if you think giving a teenager a super car is responsible parenting? no, you're wrong.

[–]TILopisafag 0 points1 point ago

That's why you give it to a responsible teenager. I didn't say to give it to anyone. Even OP mentioned that the driver of the car does very well in school. No parent would be stupid enough to give it to an irresponsible driver.

[–]Pizoole 0 points1 point ago

doing well in school does NOT translate to being a responsible driver. some of the most reckless people i know do great in school. As far as


goes, you never commented on that subject at all. Obviously if you have a responsible teenager that is a different story. and yes, there are plenty of horrible parents out there who absolutely give their kids fast expensive cars, only to have the kids wreck them.

[–]PlaidBaron 0 points1 point ago

Exactly. I knew a very wealthy kid in high school. His parents bought him a brand new BMW. Can't remember which model, maybe an M3. Anyway, one day him and his friend took it on a joyride. It's suspected the two were drunk. They wrecked it, and where luckily unharmed. A few months later his parents bought him a brand new one, just like the last. That's really not giving your kid the best, that's just poor decision making.

[–]Drunkinskater 1 point2 points ago

Hey, psa: this is how stupid teenagers die in car crashes. But ya, I'm totally jealous.

[–]BarzenTwant 1 point2 points ago

Wow, when I was 16 (in 2006) I drove a 1987 Corvette I thought I was the shit.

[–]Raptorbird 2 points3 points ago

The high school I went to had something similar. My family lived in a very wealthy city and all the 16-18yo at the school had expensive cars while I had to take the bus everyday. Didn't get a car until college. But it doesn't really matter to me because they didn't work for it. I respect somebody that actually works hard and then gets something like that. I'll be honest though, I'm still a little jealous lol

    Hate to break it to you, but you are ahead of the pack too.

    [–]diblasio1 1 point2 points ago

    I didn't own a car until I was 21, and even then it was 26 years old...

    [–]Noggindude 0 points1 point ago

    When I was 16, my parents bought me a school bus pass. :(

    [–]thatguy-me 0 points1 point ago

    Give it time. That car will belong to an insurance company before you know it.

    [–]CrrazyKid 0 points1 point ago

    Is this very unusual?

    [–]IzanCastle 0 points1 point ago

    Having money to afford this and give it to their 16 y/o daughter is one thing, and I don't really care about that. What irritates me is there is no lesson in the value of money when shit like this is just GIVEN to you. And it seems shit like this is given to those who don't see the value of money like most of us hard-working, common folk do.

    We have to work our asses off to make sure we can eat the next week. Money is a whole different world for us.

    Now if you told me she worked 20+ hours on top of school and her paychecks are going to pay for the car, and maybe Dad was just picking up the remainder each month, I wouldn't care so much.

      [–]Aneurin 2 points3 points ago

      I don't think it's too far fetched that given that her parents bought her an Audi R fucking 8 she won't ever be taught the lesson that everything you do has a consequence.

      [–]franick1987 0 points1 point ago

      Based on the landscaping and the quality of the roads, such vehicle does not seem unusual.

      [–]nate22[S] 1 point2 points ago

      It's a newer school in a newer area. The schools in Phoenix, Az so that is why the landscaping is desert. The car is really unusual. The best car just rolling around is a 3 series BMW or a dodge Challanger

      [–]LordBroseidon -1 points0 points ago

      Damn spoiled kids. Only reason why I had a two year old semi nice car was cause I bought it from a police auction. And there arent that many bloodstains...

      [–]otho03 -2 points-1 points ago

      Not for long.

      [–]archg33k -1 points0 points ago

      3 gtrs at my college, and two aston martins. Glad I have brains, because those kids are barely passing on daddys money.

      [–]Shifuede -5 points-4 points ago

      You know that asshole will wreck it before he graduates too...

      [–]roastedbagel 2 points3 points ago

      Someone is rather jealous...

      [–]Shifuede -2 points-1 points ago

      Right...'cause you can totally tell based off of a typed comment...

      [–]invade_china -5 points-4 points ago

      Wealth concentration is irreversible.

      [–]theyarecomingforyou -3 points-2 points ago

      This is why inherited wealth is a bad thing.
