I have no issue with that. Buying a $25K to $30K car that is technically a relatively decent and tame driver works in the right economic situation. A kid that is determined to do stupid things, can do them in any car. The FR-S to me is no more dangerous than a 15 year old V8 Buick.

This however shows that the ability to make money does not always equate to common sense. I'm sorry but these parents have a death wish for their child. Perhaps not intentionally, but that's what it adds up to. Mostly around the Ferrari. The SR22 is a decent, safe and docile airplane, basically the aviation equivalent to the FR-S. Of course, in my case, my kids would have to fight me for seat time.
