Young kids driving cars way too fast!! Some get lucky with near misses. And some end up on the front porch. Lucky nobody was seriously hurt.

Ya know, if he had tried a little harder, he could have proven he was a real man, and launch that thing thru the front door .

Man.... rich, spoiled, and stupid kids. I shook my head after seeing the pictures. Anybody remember the kids who were speeding on a private airport runway only to run off into some trees?

What 18 year old does not like to show off? Sadly-same like me-maturity and teenage years seldom go hand in hand. Did some stupid things myself back then, thankfully nobody got injured or killed. Glad these kids made it out and perhaps learned something in the process. Car is toast, owner of the house is probably not too happy either. Dealing with insurance is rarely pleasant.

It's no wonder car accidents are the leading cause of death in teenagers.

I wonder if anyone would want to insure this guy after this accident.

Always happens this time of year, attrition.
When I graduated high school, I recall a handful of classmates who got a nice new car and within the first month crashed them. Cause...showing-off. One idiot took his new Corolla did a burn out, lost control and put it into a tree. He'd had it 3 days.
