Default If you think the 16 yr old that got a TT for a birthday present was bad, don't read this!!!

Ok, I'm so sick of my hometown...thankfully, I'm back at school now My little brother's friend just turned 17 and his parents got him a Fly Yellow Ferrari 355 F1 spyder limited edition. There is only like 40 in the US (Jason, you know about this?) it's all carbon inside, emblems, black leather, etc. A Hundo sixty grand gone! He pulls up to our house and kills the ignition....after checking it out for a while my brother gets in for a ride and he couldn't start it! Idiot.

Anyways, this is sick. I know familys that could make this kid's parents look like peasents and they don't give their 17 year old male a rocket. Now, if I was the kid, I wouldn't be complaining but damn, the parents must have something wrong with them. I friggin hate new money! I can't wait until I'm new money but play it old school

Thanks for the drunken rant...thought you'd get a kick out of my sick hometown

btw, sober sweetness tomorrow for me....my car got some sick attention over break...I have some TT related posts coming soon.

You wanna be flashy, get a hummer - that is safe and tops out at 80

Default You hit the nail on the head SO hard it just went through the plank . . .

Reminds me of that simpson's episode where Mr. Burns buys Bart a 360 Spyder. =)

The 929's rarely get past 200 miles before they're in for Major repairs....

Default The last thing out of a rednecks mouth is.......

Hey Y'all, Watch this!

Only a grand on an RC51? He must have fallen over at a crawl. Most of this stuff happens in the company of buddies when the testosterone is flowing....

Default Yea, that's bad. Even I find that stupifying...

I know two kids with them. One is from Greenwich and is an amazing thinker. His dad promised him when he was little if he was number 1 in his class when he turned 16, he could have a Ferrari. Needless to say, he was number 1 and go his 355. Fair is fair.

The other kid is this little snot (my old neighbor) who has lived his life making his mother feel bad for a divorce that happened 15 years ago. His grandfather bought him a used 348GTS for his 16th birthday. This is also the kid who has gone through multiple Land Rover Discoverys. Although, his mother is a car collector (yes, his mother) and felt the car was also an investment... still boggles my mind.

My question is... what the hell is left to desire? When you have everything at 17, where do you go when you're on your own and making nothing? I just think it's sort of a lapse in parental judgement. But it's not my money, so go for it.
