I am glad I had to work for my cars. Even if I am rich I want my kids to work for their cars and not get everything handed to them on a silver platter. They won't appreciate it as much as if they worked for it. And they won't have the respect for it.

Some of these kid have never worked a day in their lives and they drive brand new cars, dont pay for gas or insurance. Dont care if they fvck up the car cause mommy and daddy will fix everything.
Cant shelter them forever, they have to learn some responsibility sometime. Not the easiest thing to have your kid do, but they'll be a better person when all said and done, probably a bit more bitter towards the silver spooners, but what can you do. :fawk:

As long as the kid doesn't act like a dumbass then I'm fine with it. If people have money what's to say they can't spend it on a car for their kid?
Granted, if they're an ungrateful bastard that expects the car rather than understands the generosity behind it and drives like a retard to boot, then that's a problem.
