The person that started this comment chain said that buying a BMW for a 17 year old was "gross negligence". Don't just ignore the context of a comment before you chip in yourself.

To be fair he said buying the kid a BMW M5 is gross negligence. Would this have happened in a base model 3 series? Who knows? But putting such a powerful machine in the hands of a crazy teenager can lead to potentially worse outcomes.

How the fuck is buying any specific car "gross negligence" here? Would you have races down the street without a care if you had a more expensive vehicle as a teenager? I only ask because I sure as fuck wouldn't have.

Because the M5 is an extremely powerful vehicle. It accelerates very quickly and can hit top speeds easily. The point is that giving a kid with no driving experience a race car is negligent
