I saw this bumper sticker leaving the airport the other day on a nice, sporty looking coupe. Who the hell buys a nice BMW with a stick then doesn't learn how to drive it properly? My second question was answered by searching for such a sticker on the interwebs and I found that it isn't a custom one-off! There are actually enough of these people in the world that there's a market for these decals/stickers.

I've never seen that bumper sticker, but I don't doubt that it exists. What can be purchased on the internet is way beyond my powers of imagination. But I consider that bumper sticker to be a more specific version of the "Student Driver - Please Be Patient" sticker. And assuming my understanding is correct, my key problem is not the sticker but why on God's Green Earth would a sane parent ever purchase a BWM for a teen driver? If you are going to purchase a car for teen driver, then make it some old beater, maybe a 15-year Toyota Corolla, that is already pre-dinged. Make the kid wait until he/she is paying for his/her own insurance before facilitating something like a BMW.

F/T/R: My first car (and by first car, I mean a car that I could drive without asking permission from anyone) was a 1962 VW Beetle (it was three different colors) that I purchased for the astronomical (for me) sum of $300. This was while I was in the Army in Germany. Such sales had to be preceded by an inspection at an Army auto garage. The guy I was purchasing the car from made as a condition of purchase that this inspection occur in the next town over (we were in Wiesbaden and the inspection occurred in Mainz) by a "guy he knew." It passed.

I saw one back in high school driving to the beach that said, "to all you fucking virgins out there - thanks for nothing"
