[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t give teens BMWs or similar. This tale keeps getting repeated with tragic results. At least this time they hurt themselves and not innocent teens walking down a sidewalk.[/quote]

Kids can crash in any car.  A BMW would hopefully have more safety features.[/quote]

It was a BMW that destroyed the family at Pyle a few years ago.

Parents giving high performance vehicles to inexperienced teenagers are profoundly reckless and I hope every single one of them are sued into oblivion for those accidents. [/quote]

I absolutely agree if the parents were negligent they should be sued but it makes no sense to blame it on “a bmw.” Kids drive way too fast and kill themselves and others in all types of cars. (-a mom who drives an old Camry)[/quote]

Driving an old Camry isn't great either as it doesn't have all the safety features.  You can easily make a wrong move and kill someone.[/quote]

Well apparently the BMW safety features didn’t prevent it from reaching 100+ mph and then crashing into another car.

So please explain how the BMW was any safer in this situation than a 2003 Camry?

I’ll wait. [/quote]

Toyotas can go 100mph too. It’s not the car or the privilege. It’s the driver. Lots of idiot teens drive fast. Rich and poor. [/quote]

Well, I won’t argue with the fact that privilege plays a huge part. I say this an owner of a convertible BMW and a mom of teen who will be driving our SUV, and never my BMW.

I also grew up LMC, driving a car that was, like PP, over 20 years old. It’s laughable that you think it’s easy or fun to get an old Toyota up to these kind of speeds. The car shakes and makes all kinds of noises. It would be embarrassing and pathetic for a teen to do this in front of their friends. But getting a BMW up to peak speeds? Even adults are tempted.[/quote]
