Well whoopty-freakin-do! I'm 26 and don't make much less than that as an electrical technician. I think buying a nice car for your child who has yet to prove they are responsible enough to have a nice car is the wrong way to go about it. Now, my Mom is helping on the down payment for a house. Now that I have proven I can be a responsable person..... and I know there are parrents out there who wouldn't even do that. So I am very greatfull nonetheless. But buying an expensive nice car for a teenager is not showing them they have to work to get nice things. I know I'd never do that for my kid...... they'll get my Prelude when they turn 16 (and I don't even have any kids yet!)

Again, don't get mad. I'm not here trying to start something. I'm just simply posting because I'm 17 too. So, AZEMANSEAN and FASTBALL, I apologize for your angry. I just think cause its under YOUR OWN name and your 23.

But he didn't buy us a car, and maybe thats why I respect my property. Maybe thats why I don't do stupid things like most kids who have things handed to them. You earn things you don't get them handed to you.

WHy trash on rich parents? just because people wish they were rich or had rich parents, doesn't mean they can trash otehrs who are. rich people make the correct decisons, they go through school, they excell in life, no need to trash em.
You got alot a nerve kid. That's all I'm gonna say.
