In SoCal, I see kids driving 350Zs and wrecking them....there was a huge discussion on this one in the M5 forum earlier this year:

ABC News: Out-of-Control Teens Die in Travolta Enclave

very sad.

On another note...I was @ the C-class launch..the audio upgrade is very nice..as good as the Lexus. Style wise I didn't like the rear too much. How about getting him the 1-series?

p.s. lucky kid...1st car i bought was from my signing bonus
