Make him pay for it.

If my kid did that i would make him pay for it. Nothing worse than children blessed with wealth that do not know what they are blessed with... Oh, a stiff kick in the rear end wouldn’t hurt either.

Chevy lumina. Omg what a crappy car. Driving a lumina is about the most pitiful thing I can imagine. I've never owned a Chevrolet. I'll fix a Ford and have done so.

When I rolled up in my E30 M3 my mom said.. oh my god you went and bought that little car !

No mom. This ones a little nicer.
My Dad promised me to keep a roof over my head; as long as I helped him fix his cars and stuff around the house. He was a great man; he understood the mastery of being self-sufficient.

So, in his home country then? He is already extremely privileged in his country.

The press got the story all wrong. He actually really liked the car, and thought it could do this.

Jaguar's automatically steer you and your wallet right into the dealership service department.

Hahaha, man what a dumbass. Being a middle child, my kids will get lucky if I buy their car for them. I'm probably going to end up just giving the E90 to my son if it can last 10 more years and my daughter the CT200H if it can last 7 years and if they wreck them, that's it.😂

Looks like it's used F30. Only worth about $15k US if it's a 316 3 cylinder if even that.

With the amount of publicity this story has and the fact that it was a 316i, I can't help but believe that this might have just been a stunt for attention

Then again you never know.

What an absolute Bhenchod (As my Indian Friends would be very quick to say) I bet he will end up working at the "Microsoft Support Center" and will be featuring on here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0u...5T41Fzawy5H6mw some time soon.

I experienced that this morning. Someone had a brand new Infiniti coupe, for a 17-year-old. Seems dangerous.
yeah no kidding. I can almost see that kid racing around the freeway and small streets.
