1. Douchebag ruins son, destroys multiple lives trying to reproduce himself.

A tale as old as time...

[Demovictory9]

3. yes, read up on Hulk Hogan and his son

https://patch.com/florida/dunedin/michael-graziano-dies-of-injuries-received-in-april-3-accident

In 2007, Michael's brother John Graziano, a decorated Marine, was critically injured in a crash on Clearwater's Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. while a passenger in a car driving by Nick Bollea, son of famed professional wrestler Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea), lost control on the rain-slicked street and hit a palm tree.

John Graziano suffered a severe brain injury in the accident and was hospitalized for two years and is being taken care of currently by his mother Debra Graziano.

37. If the guy bought Performance Teslas the race would have been over in 50 feet.

.

If you have a Lamborghini and you're not winning within the first two seconds, your car sucks!

.

[marble falls]

2. Poor little rich kid.

[SoonerPride]

6. He suffers from "Affluenza," don't you know?

[CurtEastPoint]

4. 'whose' car. Plus both are assholes.

[SoonerPride]

5. Well since he cries every day surely that's punishment enough, right?

I mean I can hear the judge now "you have such a bright future ahead of you, your crying has been enough punishment, have a nice day."

Or is that only in rape cases?

I hope they throw all the books at him.

[leftieNanner]

18. It doesn't indicate that he's a competitive swimmer, so.............

[GulfCoast66]

7. There is only one person I feel bad for here,

And her photo is not in the post.

Wish they could charge dad with something.

[Demovictory9]

10. ..

[In_The_Wind]

22. May she rest in peace.

[GulfCoast66]

25. Such a sad waste of a life.

What a lovely person.

[sdfernando]

8. Oh boo hoo the kid can feel something...

you know who can't feel anything? Monique Munoz! because you killed her!

[TheBlackAdder]

36. I bet that kid is only crying about what is going to happen to him, not the one he killed.

[Rustyeye77]

9. His insurance rates are going up.

I’m sure their lawyer will find a way to blame the woman.

[Midnight Writer]

11. When I was in High School, a classmate got a brand new Corvette for his 16th birthday.

He was killed in a high speed wreck in less than thirty days.

[Demovictory9]

17. Sad. Parents probably overwhelmed w grief

[leftieNanner]

19. A Guy in my husband's HS class

received a new car for his 16th birthday. A Camaro, I think. He proceeded to get TWO speeding tickets on the first day - from the same cop.

Next day, his Dad sold the car.

Probably kept the kid alive.

[GulfCoast66]

26. Funny how we end up loving parents for things we hated them for in adolescence.

When about turning 16 I was looking for a car and had saved over $2500 throwing papers for 4 years. This was in 82 so cars were cheaper.

I announced at supper I had found a nice 69 Chevelle SS with a large block V8 I was going to buy. Dad announced I was not going to buy that car I had never been so angry. Ended up with a 78 Ford Grenada!

He saved my life.

[leftieNanner]

27. Wish you had that Chevelle SS now!!

My sister saved up enough money for wheels - but only enough for a motorcycle.

My Dad told her he would chip in a few bucks too, and she bought a VW Bug (back when they only cost $2,000).

[GulfCoast66]

28. Lord I wish I had it as well.

But I drive it like an old man! I’ve totaled 3 cars in my youth. I finally learned!

Have a nice evening.

[Stallion]

30. My Twin Brother Tried to Buy a 1967 Shelby Cobra GT 500 from Elderly Next Door Neighbor

what's that worth now? Million+ ?

Dad wouldn't let him

[lapfog_1]

12. divorced dad... trying to be "best friend" instead of father

[Yeehah]

13. There's no cure for douchebaggery

I hope the plaintiffs get all the cars and money.

[CanonRay]

14. Daddy will buy his way out of it

This is America after all.

[exboyfil]

15. They don't want either the civil or criminal juries to see those pictures

I wish there was some way to charge the father with negligence. I guess his punishment will come through the civil court.

I am hoping the kid gets a long sentence.

[Deacon Blue]

43. Negligent Entrustment

Gets Daddy sued, too.

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. another reason we need a huge wealth tax

[JesterCS]

20. Someone with too much money and not enough sense

[rsdsharp]

21. As Bill Cosby said

“At some point, you have to realize that even if the car can do 200 mph, you can’t.”

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. The kid would no doubt have been street racing

no matter what kind of a car he had.

[robbob]

24. Those high performance muscle cars are incredibly hard to control,

as many an over paid young professional althlete could attest to. Those cars are meant for racing. I doubt if the kid would have been street racing in a VW bug, for example.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Admittedly, I have never driven anything remotely high performance.

Heck, my first two cars were VW bugs!

It's the unfortunate tendency of young males to drive very fast. And it must be a lot worse when driving a car intended to go very fast.

[Delarage]

31. A friend of mine had a beat up Camaro

In high school. Of course it ended up being the first car i ever drove over 100 mph. I was probably much better off in my Chevy Citation

[Mopar151]

32. They are not race cars!

They lack the safety equipment required throughout organized racing. "Exotics" are triumphs of style, Visual Horsepower over the moon, wretched excess in carbon fibre and titanium, pearl pain and glove leather.

wrecked exotics.com shows what happens when rich men breathe their own fumes.

[RotorHead]

34. Incorrect.

The bigger problem with any of them made in the last 15-20 years, is that they are deceptively EASY to control... right up until you really mash the throttle, or have to brake hard, or over-speed a cornor.

At that point, most of the people driving them in the street have no idea of the actual engine power, and limits of traction and braking applicable to their vehicle (like the vast majority of people driving more typical automobiles), and they've never taken the time or effort to learn those limits in a safe place/time/manner. Nor do they know to keep such applications to safe places and times, i.e. NOT ON PUBLIC ROADS.

[radius777]

38. +1. Old school muscle cars were far more difficult to operate,

and most of those guys actually knew what they were doing and would mainly race on deserted streets.

[marie999]

44. I use to street race my 1961 Rambler American.

[Iggo]

33. I've been reading this same story for going on fifty years.

When I was in high school it was GTO's or 6.6 Trans Am. My friend's dad would say "There is such as thing as too much car for a kid."

[Demovictory9]

41. Tv show about how the car changed America mentioned that

1960s Auto execs questioned the competition to produce.muscle cars.by other auto execs like john delorean..that what was.the purpose of giving ypung drivers all that.horse power

[SharonAnn]

35. Back in the 1970's my parents friend bought a Corvette for his son to take to college.

Kid dropped out after first semester, came home, parents were on a winter cruise, raced around town in the snow and ice, went off the road and hit a utility pole guy wire, broke his neck and was paralyzed, quadriplegic. His college medical insurance was no longer in effect because he had left college. He spent the rest of his life in a nursing home.

It bankrupted the family and the father committed suicide a couple of years later.

[joetheman]

39. I often wonder with people who think like that, from where does their money come?

It seems weird that some of the most stupid people have so much money to waste on toys.

[radius777]

40. IMO the reason some parents do this is

they remember how it was growing up and having an ugly old car (or no car), and people at school laughing about it. Especially for a young guy - popularity and the ability to get a date is highly tied to having a nice ride. So it's an attempt by the parents (usually the dad) to 'correct' their own childhood and live vicariously through the kid.

[PlanetBev]

42. Got my first car at 18

A used ‘65 Chevy Impala convertible. It was a hand-me-down from my parents. Boy, could that thing guzzle ⛽️.

[Mopar151]

45. Exotic cars ain't all that practical

Several of the fastest drivers in our hill limb series were talking around the campfire. We agreed that bad fast cars were not all that much fun after the first blast! Public roads are like trying to walk a hungry tiger on a dog lead! Oddly, we seem to appreciate underpowered "dalies".

[DFW]

46. I'll bet the kid is remorseful

His dad will probably never buy him anything faster than a BMW until he's 30.
