LOL at all the assumptions goin' on, based on virtually no facts.

Apparently, the kid just drove up in the car. No evidence it is the kid's car. Probably his dad let him drive it a few miles to the get together.

So the daddy is a plastic surgeon. Yeah, they can make lots of money, but it's not like everyone has the skills to become a top surgeon. Many doctors have invested in other things, so he could make tons of money from other activities. Shoot, maybe he inherited the vast majority of his fortune.

It's his money, he can spend it how he wants.

If he really owns one not just rents it like most individuals do, buying any Ferrari is chump change.

Diggin the F430....Id def rock it but I'd want the truck as well

Not digging the red stripe package on it though...should have left it one color. And who cares if the guy makes tons of money? Obviously he worked hard in school and reached his goals and can now reep the rewards. I couldn't make it thru medical school so props to those that can

Not all rich people are stuck up either. Owner of Oznium.com (Phil) worked from the groun up and made a business for himself. Now he's able to travel, rent exotic cars (aston martins, ferrari, bentley, audi, BMW etc) but he also takes his friends with him. Very humble and worked very hard for what he has so I say props to those that work for it.

The ones I can't stand are the Paris Hilton type that think because they were born to rich parents they are entitled to something in life.

This right here....makes zero sense. How do you think he got where he is?

Besides being a Dr., he sounds like a pretty good businessman.

Why hate?????? Although I do agree that giving a 16yr old a car w/ that much HP is a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm willing to bet that the people who say they don't like exotic's have never driven one...

I love my old school muscle(as long as entire powertrain/suspension is brought up to date), but there is nothing like driving a new exotic car.. Hence the reason when my viper is paid off next year I'm thinking about a lambo...

I suspect the reason is more like why one guy likes brunettes and the other guy likes blondes -- they both have their qualities, but for whatever reason you are just drawn to one more than the other.

Gonna have to agree there. I look at the car, and while it looks nice, it really doesn't do anything for me. I've never owned or drove an exotic of that nature. But sitting here thinking about it, I bet after 5 minutes behind the wheel, I'd have a smile ear to ear, and not want to part with it. Maybe it's better this way since I def don't have the bank roll to cover an addiction like that.

That pretty sweet looks like he has some big bank. My friend in high school rolled in a brand new XLR and his brother rolled in a new escalade. I wasn't too jealous till one of them came to my shop in a damn blacked out lambo than I was jealous. An I think Fatherford is right most people that hate on them haven't driven one because there's nothing like it...

A) he's not plastic surgeon so we're not loaded
B) he still instilled values and not spoiled me, so I had to work for my own stuff
