An Audi A7 driven by a high school girl. The rear passenger door was all scraped up and dented. Why do high schoolers get nice cars when they're still bad at driving?!

Rich daddies don't want to look bad when compared to other rich daddies.

^this

One girl at my HS, who became infamous when she literally drove her dads pickup THROUGH a dunkin donuts (right through the front windows) was given a brand new fully loaded sentra as her first car. I think one of the funniest moments of senior year was when the chola girl in our math class asked her about her car and it went something like this.

Chola: Hey is that your nissan out in the lot?

DD: Yeah isn't it super cute?

*Next Day*

DD: OMG Someone keyed my fucking car!

I'm pretty sure after high school, DD girl ended up with some new German luxury car. Her dad was a TV producer so he had the money for that.

(and by that I mean the situation, not the high school girl...that would be inappropriate)

Why do *idiot* high schoolers get nice cars? Someone at my school has an '09 RX-8 R3. Poor thing's been beat to hell. The rear bumper is literally being held on by duct tape and misplaced hope. Meanwhile, I'm tooling around in my pristine little Civic, trying not to cry every time I see his car.

Hope it was Daddys Car that she was borrowing.

It continues in college with sorority girls and Mercedes...

I know! Most of them don't even care. It's like, do they even know what they have?! Most students who have luxury cars though seem to take care of them though.

I don't know... It's not un common to find high school kids to drive these. Usually they pick Q5s though. Maybe it was, I don't know.

When I was in High School everybody owned a brand new Wrangler.

Spoiled Muthafuckas. I drove a shitty old Jetta that I paid for myself.

I'll be driving my parents cars most likely. I don't want to have to deal with insurance and that stuff until I have to. Though, my first car will probably be an NA miata I think. Maybe an NB.

Psh, Mercedes are for old people! BMWs and Audis all the way in my house, not to mention the fratmobiles (Tahoes, Wranglers, etc in addition to the BMWs and Audis). I had to park my Mercury behind my house, where it was promptly backed into by a visiting SUV from Sigma Delta Tau :[

Rocking a Leaf would be the coolest thing though!

Yeah, it'll be interesting! I won't have to pay for gas ever!

My college ex boyfriend's father is exactly that way! Daddy drives the 7series, Mommy has her A5 convertible, the two oldest boys have 3series (even though one just wanted a Jeep) and the third of the four boys has to settle for the Lincoln Navigator they used to keep at their Miami Beach penthouse, poor thing.

Ouch. The vehicle of choice for the fratstars here is generally a lifted truck. The city in general is lacking in Audis and Bimmers. I had a friend of mine who bought a new Silverado and it got mauled by a Merc in a campus parking lot; the amount of damage was almost impressive considering the environment.

As a high schooler at a super preppy Atlanta school I must say that this is fairly common. There is a junior at my school who has a two year old Range Rover Sport, a senior who has a BMW 750iL (e66), and a huge amount who have brand new Grand Cherokee Overlands/Summits. Meanwhile I'm driving a minty fresh (39,000 miles) 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 4.7 which I love, and to give you an idea of the scale of the problem it is probably one of the oldest on campus and also one of the cheapest.

A kid at my school has a 2007 Roush Mustang. He treats it like shit.

Then there's the kid with the B5 S4 with a shitty tint job and scratched up paint.

Indeed, I wouldn't enjoy driving a Navigator(for the record, it's a joke. I'm not a spoiled brat who would turn down a navigator, I'd simply sell it and buy something else).
