Chris is actually my second cousin. He was never a crazy wild teen. I heard about his death from my mom. I was so devastated because I used to spend the summer with him and his younger brother. I never got the the chance to say goodbye to him before I moved so I haven't seen him for a while.

The smartest thing to do would not let your kid go out driving while his license is suspended.

its even smarter to make the kid earn the gift car

Oh and no rear wheel drive either. That's a big no no with stupid teens unless they have experience with it.

Typically, its smart to keep the gift car under 200 horsepower, 150 is even better.

I'd like to know where did his mother get the money to by this car? Drug money?

@gfrance "What an idiot. And what a terrible waste." Of the brand new car? I agree.

'Gifting' a brand new car is not a bad idea. 'Gifting' a 425hp muscle car to a 17 year old is just plain reckless!!!

Who cares where they were going? If the kid had a suspended license he shouldn't have been going anywhere.

Please immediately lock up the total fucking moron who gave this car to a 17-year-old. A Dodge Charger SRT8 has a 6.1 liter Hemi V-8 engine that produces 425 horsepower. And the "SRT" stands for "Street Racing Team." It is absolutely stupid and irresponsible for a teenager to receive this kind of car as a gift. There should be a law against selling this kind of car to a teen. Hopefully the victims' families will sue them for everything they're worth and more. Unbelievable.

there's something to be said for not 'gifting' a brand new car on a teenager. I worked hard to earn $ for my first (used) car, and remember driving very carefully once I got it. Sad, sad, sad.
