18+M135i=THIS!

When I was selling my RX7 I had a 17yr old come look at the car with his dad, I refused to sell it to them because of this exact reason.

Very sad and sorry for the families loss.

Drivers Airbag wouldn't have gone off if he didn't.

Also don't be fooled by those crash test dummy videos. Air bags DO NOT feel like pillows :hammerhead:

It's very easy receive head trauma by an airbag especially if your head is near it BEFORE it fully deploys, knocking you out in the process.

How sad. Who know what this kid may have contributed to society in his lifetime. Total waste, feel for his family.
Again I say high performance cars should have an age limit or the buyer must have gone through a performance driving course. At 18 I was 'racing' my 1400 Uno, stupid - yes, but imagine if I had 300bhp to play with, I'd too be dead.

Yeah but at that age how often do they actually buy the cars in their names?
It's usually through the parents so this would kinda be pointless.

 

[Webmaster]

In that case the car can only be sold to the registered driver. I can see how this could be a mooerse inconvenience for some, but in the case of parents buying rockets for their teens, it should be controlled for the sake of the kid's life imo.

Something like:
18yrs=100bhp
21yrs=150bhp
25yrs=200bhp
30+=unlimited, etc...

At 18 most know f**k all about cars, physics, handling, grip levels, etc. Just for their own safety, not becoming a nanny state.
