According to the dad
“Remember a car addiction stops a drug addiction."

Could we use the same excuse? A watch addition stops a drug addiction?

Yea its amazing how much of the world doesn't know that in Australia there's no such thing as Fosters, its purely an export product nobody drinks it here.
Good ... I'd like to believe no one drinks it here anymore either. 🤮

These kids can be made to be great race car drivers. Our club (SCCA - close to 100k members) have developed responsible drivers all over the world to race competitively). Our kids start on our kart program as early as 5 years old. Family-oriented club (dad, mom, & the kids).

The video shows the child sitting in the driver's seat during the burnout. A five-year-old would not be able to reach the gas pedal. That video had to have been Photo Shopped! No parent would be so stupid as to pull a stunt like that, and make such a public display of it! (Or is it actually possible?) Google Bad Parents, and see what some people have been guilty of.

You've not been to Logan city, don't assume there are limits to bad parenting until you do

Never underestimate the improvisation skills of the SQB (South Queensland Bogan).

More 14 year and under steal cars in Darwin then any other age demographic.

Shocking seeing four teenagers in a car with a 13 year old driver doing warp speed past you in a $90,000 Mercedes with 2 police cars in tow.

Then this stunt was set up by a Logan bogan, I gather?::rimshot:: I had NO idea what the term "bogan" referred to until I looked it up. Certainly fits that demographic.

Its not just Logan either, years ago I was at the Miami (Gold Coast) centrelink precinct (pawn shops, McDonalds, liquor store, adult shops, news agent, head shop, centrelink office, jobfind centre etc) and these kids who looked about 7-8 come up to me with a $20 and ask me to buy them smokes (this is like 11AM on a Monday) I refuse and one of them just shouts "Well f*ck off then piece of f*cking Sh*t" and flips me off. Its a weird feeling being genuinely afraid of a little kid, but if one of them stabs you he gets a brief stint in a youth centre and if I smack him upside the head I could go to jail, so its a lose - lose as an adult.

NSW has some dodgy places too, sad to say.

But yes, an interest in motorsports and doing absolutely began-stupid stuff in cars is not the same thing.

And no I don't reckon it was reckon the nose was parked up against their house because I'm pretty sure that the side wall of a caravan wouldn't be strong enough to hold the car back from their living/dining/bedroom.

I can just picture him on his knees crying while the commodore gets towed, screaming "Nooooo.... you can't take Candice!!!!"

(Guarantee you this car has a name like that)

I like the "no way I'd put my child's life in danger" comment 🤨

Yeah, because what could possibly have gone wrong?

Which is why in Logan you have 11 kids, that way you've got spares

Longest continues sentence on OF, ever. Some parents fail their responsibilities in a big way.

and may put grandparents in danger ...
