Many parents giving fast and fancy cars to their kids here. It can only do more harm than good. Too many terrible accidents and sad stories as testimonies. Just my $0.02.

Totally agree. Until the kids learn responsibility, they don't deserve anything other than a nice reliable used car - that's speaking from experience with two grown kids, both totalled their first cars and my son, twice over. Neither were injured, but goes to prove my point. Used cars are easy to replace, not expensive and easy on the insurance, too.
Thanks! Vince.
