8. Giving any teen, whether licensed or not, the keys to a Dodge Challenger

is highly stupid and dangerous considering the power of the Challenger, especially if it has the Hell Cat engine in it.

Even I, as a highly experienced driver, am scared to death of the Challenger, way too much power, especially for an inexperienced driver.

I hope to hell she's convicted and sentenced to the harshest penalty available for this crime.
