I can’t imagine putting a teen driver in a Lamborghini. Or myself for that matter..

[Boogieman]

Well, everyone else just sees a pile of junk rolling along, but when it’s your first car, you see “freedom”, and who doesn’t love that?

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Sweet! I remember wanting an MGB during my college years - which has a lot to do with why I own a Miata.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

That looks like a really angry Toyota Highlander.

OTOH, if it allows Lamborghini to keep turning out Huracans...

I think there's a LOT of profit in big SUVs. Heck Jeep just released a new Grand Wagoneer that tops out at 110 grand.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I call the Miata an old lady’s car, because my 85 year old mother still drives the first year one (1989) she bought new. ;)

a beetle or an r10 renault?

[Carriage Hill]

I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6.2L 390 ci, supercharged with 707 HP, and some other exhaust goodies. It’s a full-blown race car, and at 7l, I have no more “need for speed”, but getting *there* so fast, is truly fun. No, I don’t race on streets.

[Clay Moore]

Ouch. That’s going to be hard to defend in court.

Another one that doesn’t mix well is kids under 25 and 650 CC motorcycles. It’s that particular age and displacement.

[KC_Conspirator]

All he has to do is donate to democraps and his kid will get a slap on the wrist.

[samadams2000]

This is sure to tear up the Khuri family for a good year or so. Then he can get back out there on the road I’m sure.

[KC Burke]

But it will pass anything except a gas station...

a beetle or an r10 renault?

Mid 1970s Corolla.

[LeoTDB69]

LOL Not to mention a vehicle like that makes nice target practice when it finally dies. :D

I put a few holes in old pickup trucks and it was fun.

Going back to their roots? ... and not a blower supercharger.

[Old Grumpy]

. . . Stupid parents, . . .

Perhaps just the father. The article said the boy’s mother was opposed to giving the kid the vehicle.

[LeoTDB69]

"A Lamborghini SUV? Why?"

Precisely! I'll stick with my Ferrari pickup truck.

[Rurudyne]

Sweet little cab over!

[Graybeard58]

What’s a “shopping company”?
