Everyone says it's a shame he has it and can't drive, but what's the driving age there? Just because it's 16 in most places in America doesn't mean he can't drive at 15 there.
Edit: Guess I should've googled it beforehand instead of after. Looks like you have to be 18 to get your license there. What's he going to do with it for 3 years?

The fact the car was crazy expensive doesn't bother me (if you have it spend it however you want) but the unsafe part does. I had an 83 camaro that was more or less a drag car. When I sold it I had at least 4 people I turned down simply because they were buying it for there teenage son. The same thing happened to me at 16 I saw a really cool nova with a bunch of work done to it emptied my savings account ran over to get told "go home i'm not selling it to someone that doesn't have the experience to keep it on the road."

I'm sure his parents have enough money to send him to private track events/driver training without a license.
Lucky kid, I'm jelly. Time to buy a scratch off.

who knows maybe the kid has been driving shifter karts since he was 6 years old and might drive a car around the track better than 99% of the people on this forum. you just never know i remember when i first started driving. I almost got in a couple accidents and its not because i didn't know how to check my mirrors or maintain correct speed, ect. i wasn't ready to drive defensively against other drivers who weren't paying attention.

Well I think between myself and my fiance were only going to get stuck with 27k between the 2 of us. While, Im 25 and I could probably live the rest of my life on $1.3 million. Sure, not lavishly but I could lol. Not arguing, just college wasn't an issue for me lol

The article states that the car will be delivered to the kid then transferred back to Italy until he has his license.

i followed up the news articles from Taiwan. the information was incorrect. The son of the wealth business man is over 20 years old and is currently study on board at foreign country. The father owns business that manufacture screws and bolts that supplied to major car manufacturers.

It's probably an excuse for the rich daddy to buy a supercar he can drive for a few years till he is bored, then dump to the kid when he gets a driving license.
