One of the more..how do I put this?..... "well off" family's in our Hickville of a town just went out and purchased a 2000 Lotus from a dealership in Boston. They let their 16 year old son take it out for a day. He misjudged a dip going into the local restaurants and nailed both the front bumber and rear bumper at a good 20 mph. Later on that evening he over-rev'd it and blew the oil cap right off the motor. The car is currently back in Boston getting looked over etc...estimated 3.5 weeks.
In the meantime the father went out and bought a 2000 Porsche. I saw the kid driving that around not two days after he got it. Scary......at least teach the kid how to drive first.
