That was an expensive mistake. And if the airbag deployed, that will be a hefty out of pocket cost to fix (plus the body damage), since I'm pretty sure insurance would not cover it.

Bet, like commercial, his dad will use his middle name!! Perhaps he'll only get a time out, which is what folks do today!

Generalizations are never 100%....but...
When I see something like this I, perhaps because of a childhood of very modest economic means, think that probably this guy didn't pay for the car himself. Or.....he paid for it with funny money that he inherited or otherwise was given to him for little if any work. This kind of behavior is a form of conspicuous consumption. It says, in essence, look at me...I have this very expensive car ( to you little people ) but to me it's nothing at all...just a throw away trifle.
Irresponsibility is present here to the max. It's disgusting. There are places, usually oil rich nations, in which men, and boys who look like men, abuse and destroy supercars with total abandon that they purchased with petrodollars that you and I forked over at the pump.
Being older than most here I'd have to say that, "in the old days" very few people who owned vettes behaved like punks with hot camaros. Burn outs are stupid and prove nothing except that the players are idiots and fools showing off for a bunch of similar people.
If this opinion seems aimed at you because you do burnout with your new vette than consider that sometimes we get judged by our behavior and sometimes that judgment is reasonable.
