He's right.  My "daddy" bought me my first car too.  It was a sweet '70 
Olds 442 that would probably blow the doors off most Beemers in a qtr mile 
race (no, I'm not trying to start another stupid rebuttal thread.)  If 
someone wants to act like an dolt (pretty strong language, huh?) in the 
list, let them.  They aren't  huting anyone and besides, why take them 
seriously anyway.  Its like the little kid who screams until he/she turns 
blue just to get attention.  Ignore them long enough and they will stop.

BTW, I'm 37, don't drive like a nut and would buy my son an M3 or Porsche 
when he can drive if I was comfortable with his maturity, but thats a 
judgement that is entirely up to me (and his mom).

FWIW (God, I hope this doesn't keep this thing going)
