Well, you raised that dumbass...

YDI for buying a teenager a good first car (assuming you're not a millionaire). You should have bought him a crappy bomb that only starts half the time - then he either wouldn't have got it going fast enough to drag race, or he would have still crashed but it would have only cost you a few hundred dollars. Or else you should have made him work at McDonalds to so that he could buy his own car and appreciate the value of whatever he eventually bought.

Idk how many people have called OP dumb, idiot, etc etc but the base of that is they were prolly the ones with the busted up POS car that hated to see that kid in the parking lot n still do. My parents bought me my dream car and it was never wrecked, washed every week, detailed every 3 weeks, meticulously maintained and had over 400hp so it had no trouble racing. Materialism, some may not believe in it but we are all materialistic on a level. Who doesnt want their kid to look good and feel good, so he wrecked it street racing, shit happens n hes learned his lesson

You're a great parent!

I wanna go fast! If you ain't first you're last

College bound for where? University of Nebraska?

If you say the words, it's okay, I'm just glad you're all right' YDI. If you don't make him pay the insurance excess, YDI. If you replace the car before the start of college with anything other than a pushbike, YDI. Deepest condolences on your son being an irresponsible idiot.

Well thats what you get for spoiling your kids their whole life. They're not appreciative.

If it only took you months to save up for anyones dream car... Count your blessings, and be glad your son is safe, you probably had insurance and in a few months you can get him another car.

What did you think he was dreaming about doing with his dream car? Visiting his grandparents? Shopping for groceries?
