Flash Tizzle Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) It all depends on the type of car, price of the car, and commitment of the person to pay a certain percentage of costs. Prior to my 16th birthday I saved over $2,000 dollars working with my parents and doing yard work for elderly neighbors. Because my grades were good and I was willing to pay for insurance with nearly all the money I earned from a part-time job my parents promised to chip in $4,000 dollars for a 1987 Monte Carlo SS. My brother, a mechanic, already inspected it and found it in good condition despite 90,000 miles. Unfortunately, two days after I received my license I crashed my dad's car into that of a friend from school. Immediately my parents took the opportunity to squash the idea of purchasing the Monte Carlo. While I was pissed then, I understand now giving a new driver the keys to either a muscle car, or even a car in general, creates a certain level of greed. I worked for my percentage of the payments, but still my parents offered to pay for nearly all of it. Teenagers should understand early in their life the personal commitment needed to own an item such as a car. Let me be clear that inheriting a car doesn't apply to my belief. It's when parents offer to pay a large portion of a car's costs that I object to. If MTV"s Sweet Sixteen show (Unfortuantely, I'm drawn in to it) has taught my anything, it's the spoiled rich produce arrogant children who expect everything at their disposal. No sixteen year old should receive a new car,much less an Audi 500 or Landrover. Edited August 31, 2005 by Flash Tizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Yep, if you can afford EVERYTHING related to owning a car ( insurance, gas, repairs, maintenance ) then sure, why not? But if my kid has a car and her grades slip, those keys are MINE until the grades go back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I pretty much got handed a used 1994 ford explorer when i turned 17. When i was 16 i would drive my dad's car here and there occasionally, mainly to saturday DH's for baseball and such. I paid for all the gas, and some of the insurance, and still do obviously. Even though i got one right away, i don't think a kid should be handed a car on their birthday. He/she should have to pay for some of it (varies by family) and should be a well-behaved kid with good grades. Of course, i grew up in a high school where kids were handed 30,000 dollar cars when they turned 16, so i may be biased.* *And if they crashed it, they got a new one.

Yeah, I was watching an episode last saturday, this girl was yelling at her mom and saying it would be her "worst birthday ever" if she got a 4 or 5 year old used Audi. Pfft, give me a 10 year old Chevy and I'd have been ecstatic. And no, I did not get a car on my birthday. I know a few people who did, but a large portion of my friends didn't.
