Too each their own. If I was about the looks I'd buy a 328i, debadge it and slap some BBS's on it. Then tell all the sluts at the bar I drive a "beemer"

Like all the other bros wearing a fedora.
Good call on a Porsche though. Still tell the girls you drive a Porsche and a great driving experience. Win-win. I was looking at picking up a similar car that dad ended up with. Just can't afford the maintenence and no warranty.
Sorry OP.
Back on topic, let the kid enjoy his prom. If it were my kid, I'd break down like this.
Drive the car nice and easy:
- Girl isn't freaked out and scared (depends on her personality though).
- You still look cool showing up in a nice looking car at prom.
- Maybe do one little flick in a safe area and no traffic, still impress the girl.
Drive like you stole it:
- The girl is scared and uneasy and you look irresponsible. Most girls I've been with don't like the aggressive driving and get mad. This includes my current girlfriend. She HATES it.
- Crash the car being an idiot and ruin your ENTIRE prom. Dad kills you, girl thinks your a douche and can't drive for shit
I'm sure he's a smart kid and if you break it down like this he'll see it's not worth the risk to hoon the car until he properly learns how (that's your job, dad)
