A New York teenager who took a ‘test drive’ in a family friends’ Lamborghini has died after crashing the high-powered sports car into a guardrail.

Turning over a Lambo to a teenager - the family friend's generosity and kindness are exceeded only by his stupidity.

And everyone is going to call this a ‘tragic accident’, when in reality it is an act of ‘reckless endangerment’ that should be prosecuted as manslaughter.

Turning over a Lambo to a teenager...

At 2AM, no less.

Turning over a Lambo to a teenager

At 2:25 a.m. it was more likely "hey Larry, lets take your dad's Lambo for a spin....."

I think a drug test during the autopsy would be in order too......

It wasn’t *that* stupid. At least the friend’s father bought him a six-pack of high-alcohol beer to make sure he was relaxed when he drove.

Way back in the early 1970s, my dad owned a 1968 Plymouth GTX with a 440 and a 4-Speed (not a six-pack, just a 4bbl). A young adult (18 or 19) wanted to buy the car from him. My dad made the kid bring his dad to the purchase, and made them both ride in it while he showed them just how powerful the big-block was in that car (back roads, not in town). He wanted the kid and his dad to know just what the kid was getting into.
