After seeing crash pictures of a flipped lambo I doubt I would ever ride in one again let alone think about buying one. Just incase you are wondering what happened in the accident pictures, the lambo flipped over and caught on fire, since the doors open up the occupants where trapped in the car and burned to death.

I dunno man, these kids need to get a job and work. They need to know what work is, and that you need to work the get what you want. Just pisses me off- these spoiled kids. I would have more respect for a kid who bought his own MB, even if it was old a ratty, than that of a kid with a new CL or something along those lines.

Of course, your argument isn't invalidated by selfish motivations. It will serve them well if they learn to respect the means by which they live. I would have no problem buying my child a very expensive car like a new CL55 IF she had shown me that she respects money well enough to handle the responsibility or owning such an expensive toy. (That, and the backseats in the current CL's have a huge thing in the middle that wouldnt be particularly accomidating for "napping" on)

What i'm really talking about are kids like this:
An acquaintance from high school failed to graduate with his class because of failing too many classes. His parents got him a brand new red G35 coupe. He barely graduated this year with my class, probably with a 2.3 if not worse. He's not the only person i've seen this happend to. Now for the kids that get the CL55's and what not who are respectable and strive to do well are another story.
